Life Coaching Therapists in Seattle, WA

It's a difficult journey sometimes and Relationships are hard. It can be so helpful to talk to someone and have a relationship outside your family and friends to process some of the hard stuff .. Sometimes your anxiety is hard to understand. Sometimes you wish you understood what keeps you stuck. Sometimes life can feel overwhelming or sometimes you just want company sorting through some issues and feelings. I also work with client's around their questions related to faith, family and church.

I never take lightly just how brave it is for a new client to reach out and ask for support. Therefore, it’s up to me as your therapist to do my very best to create a safe environment where you feel seen and heard; where you feel the confidence and freedom to explore your tender & hurt places and your strengths and gifts, too!

Pornography addiction can significantly impact your life and relationships but there is hope for recovery. I’m not just a mental health professional, I’ve been “you” for many years. I understand firsthand the personal struggles in your life and committed relationships that come with uncontrollable pornography use. The endless stream of attractive women a few clicks away on Pornhub, Onlyfan or Social Media is hard to quit even with all your willpower and promise to quit for the sake of your relationship.

In my approach to therapy, I believe that connecting with your authentic self is essential for achieving harmony and wellness. Authenticity is the foundation upon which we build a fulfilling and balanced life. In each session, I commit to showing up authentically and wholeheartedly, creating a safe and supportive space where you can do the same. Whether you are uncovering long-held beliefs, trying out new behaviors, or simply expressing your thoughts and feelings, this process is about finding what resonates with your true self.

Sometimes, we simply need someone to hold space for us, someone to offer a safe, non-judgmental, accepting environment to feel heard and seen. Therapy is a time for just that: a time to explore yourself and to create self-awareness of your cognitions and social systems in ways that impact your feelings and behaviors. Therapy is a journey, a commitment to whole person healing for lasting change. I believe that clients have the power to reclaim their stories, as the experts of their own lives. I am committed to working with you to explore what might be keeping you from living and loving authentically.

I believe a strong connection built on trust is at the heart of therapy and life coaching and that this is more likely to help lead you towards recovery, personal growth and achievement of your therapeutic goals and successful outcomes in your life. Through dialogue and collaborative spirit we will work together to identify goals that can help you to a more rewarding life experience.

Life is way too short to feel like your best isn't good enough. Too short to fear you will not be accepted as you are and feel as though you have to live in your own shadow. You do not have to avoid certain people, places, or feelings to feel in control of your body. Could you be holding yourself back from being your best self? Kind of like self-sabotage? Do you have difficulty trusting others or building bonds out of fear they are just going to leave you? This could lead to experiencing difficulty maintaining any type of relationship.

What do you want to become? Would you like to release from triggers and live more on purpose? Do you want to shift your mindset and achieve more from life? Maybe make a life change or believe in yourself more! Learn to access your own wisdom and inner clarity and make decision-making fun. Hypnotherapy and change coaching are powerful methods for supporting you to change, so you can become who you really were meant to be.

If there is any part of you who wants to feel empowered and in charge of your own life, learn more about yourself, your healthy and unhealthy patterns, your capabilities, and you want to claim and connect to your own power and BE authentic, then let's meet and decide whether we can work together. My commitment as a therapist is to facilitate the process of awareness, acceptance, choice, and letting go with deep respect for the personal pace, process and style of each client. I am a fully licensed Mental Health counselor with the state of Washington with over 20 years experience.

As a Black Woman raised in the South, now residing in the Pacific Northwest, I know too well the impact that some life transitions can have on identity. They leave you desperately clinging to who you’ve always been while trying to dodge who you’re now forced to become. Somewhere in the midst of the transition, you started realizing that who you’ve “always been”, was never your true identity. Now you’re grappling with confusion, a loss of direction, and the seemingly unanswerable question “who am I”? Truth is, your identity is rooted in narratives you didn’t write and they may no longer fit who your are or support your growth.

Perhaps you are struggling in a relationship, not able to communicate, or stuck in negative patterns. Drifting apart, you yearn for intimacy and being desired. You wonder if you should go or stay when trust is gone. Or you may need to find your voice and create boundaries. Maybe you're an overachiever or your inner critic has exhausted you, anxiety is finally too much. The relational conflict is starting to affect every area of your life. You are looking for a therapist who can get it and guide you through to the other side.

Currently welcoming in new clients (individuals and couples!). :) If you're experiencing heart break, wondering why your love or sex life is not where you'd like it to be, or feeling lost/frustrated/curious about what might be getting in the way of having the life or love life you seek, I can absolutely help you navigate this. I also help couples who want greater connection, intimacy, or "spark" and I especially LOVE working with queer couples.

Do you sometimes fall victim to negative thinking? Do you feel like you live in a constant state of stress? You may be struggling with mental health challenges, loneliness, or patterns that no longer serve you. Whatever it may be, my goal is to help you transform your thinking, discover a deeper understanding of yourself, and be able to connect with the world in an entirely new way. I believe in the power of connection, and the healing relationship between client and clinician. Therapy can act as a non-judumental space for you to share your world and, specifically, what it is like to live your life.

With over 20 years of experience in the field of mental health and behavior change, I will help you identify and implement the changes you need to reduce your suffering and truly thrive. While you can't control what life throws at you, you can improve your ability to respond to the present moment in a skillful way, find your balance again and get back up on your feet. From a present, strengths-based perspective, we can look ahead and explore where you would like the path ahead of you to lead. I will walk alongside you on that path to celebrate what we uncover and to support you through any obstacles you may encounter along the way.

If you are experiencing major life changes or transitions, if you want help understanding why you choose the partners you choose, if you want effective means of changing self-defeating behaviors, if you would like help with "emotional & social intelligence" both critical to personal & career success, if you want to learn effective means of communicating & resolving conflict in your relationships, if anxiety or depression interfere with your enjoyment of life, if you had losses or broken attachments while growing up, if you just want a very supportive community for dealing with the stresses of your life, then consider these groups.
