Career Counseling Therapists in Seattle, WA

I work with people who are motivated to go deep because working on the surface has not brought results. If you are seeking therapy, it's likely that you are in some sort of pain and are looking to move through and beyond that pain to a place of greater safety and trust. Together we can commit to walking a healing path. We can address your needs for a fulfilling life in the here-and-now while processing old issues that perennially impact your ability to freely and joyfully relate to yourself and others.

I am a creative by heart, and a counselor by trade. It is my pleasure to hold space for people as they seek to get to know themselves better and learn how to best solve their own problems. I am a firm believer that deep down, people know what is right for them, and they know how to solve their own problems. My job as a counselor is to help you remove the layers of cultural conditioning, negative self-talk, trauma memories, and more to help you get reconnected with your self. My goal is to stand beside you as we examine barriers, explore possibilities, and help you find your inner strength to fight any battles that come your way.

My belief is that counseling is a journey we travel together. Our first step is to define where you want to go - discovering the reasons that you have chosen to meet with me at this point in your life. We will also identify your strengths, what's working well in your life, and the things that can be changed to get you to your destination. My ultimate goal is to work myself out of a job as you develop the skills and tools that you can use in the present and the future to have the life that you desire.

I am passionate about helping people to promote well-being and to manage emotional distress and psychiatric symptoms. I enjoy using psychological theories and mind-body interventions to help children, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds to improve their physical and mental health. I have helped people to reach their physical health goals, heal from trauma, make career and life transitions, grow in marriages and relationships, and build mood and anxiety management tools.

My clients are interested in looking closer at how thoughts and behavior patterns get in the way of living the life they want to live--with a willingness to discover what matters most and try new ways of dealing with stressors to achieve the vision you have for your life.

You don’t have to hold big things on your own. I help take off some of the burden that humans carry. The best part of my job is sitting with people through both challenging and exciting times in their lives.

Together we will dismantle external forces that impact how you move through the world and discover and embrace each chapter in your story that makes you uniquely you.

My hope is to create a place where you can come completely and authentically as you are, where the unspeakable can be spoken, and for you to be met with compassion and non-judgement.

Hi there, How could I be of service to you? Throughout my many lessons taught and learned, I’ve realized that life is a school and earth is a classroom of many lessons.

I offer therapeutic sessions for individuals, couples, youth, and families. I help facilitate a process where people can develop insight and understanding of what may be holding them back from wellness, joy, and personal growth. Sometimes this may involve family patterns, behaviors that are not in line with one's values, or relationships that are no longer serving you. My job is to create safety for people to share their authentic selves, honoring strengths and navigating challenges together. My intention is to honor your gifts and to expand new ways of thinking or approaching situations to better meet your goals.

Life challenges can become struggles. Normal transitions, like a job change or an “empty nest” can be daunting--maybe even overwhelming. Big issues, like relationship stress, illness, divorce, job loss, losing someone close, can weigh heavily, steal our energy, derail us. You may suffer from depression, anxiety, or other difficulties. For struggles with food and body issues, or distressing habits, I would love to help you with these challenges, as well. Accepting new clients; teletherapy appts available.

My mission is clear: to guide individuals towards long-term solutions, instill healthy coping mechanisms, and cultivate positive relationships. For this reason I am drawn to clients who share a desire for overall well-being and are ready to confront negative tendencies.

In order to do this I delve into my clients' histories, recognizing that understanding the past is crucial to addressing present challenges. I am dedicated to cutting through the noise and fostering honest communication within a safe and supportive space.
