Therapy

I personalize my therapeutic approach to fit the specific needs of each client. I employ an integrative style that draws from relational, psychodynamic, trauma-informed, and culturally competent frameworks. I approach therapy with warmth, curiosity, and an active engagement in the therapeutic process.

I provide online therapy for clients in the state of Washington and offer in-person sessions in Fremont, conveniently located for those in Seattle. My specialization lies in working with adolescents, young adults, and professionals with various mental health challenges and concerns.

    You might be considering therapy because you're grappling with life transitions, emotions, or relationships. Perhaps you feel a persistent struggle between expectations of happiness and recurring feelings of isolation, worry, or guilt. This may feel unfamiliar and unsettling if it's a new experience, or numbing if it has persisted for too long.

    The goals of therapy vary widely: alleviating distress, processing trauma, gaining insight, feeling supported, building confidence, developing strategies, or improving relational dynamics. I'm here to listen not only to what you say but also to what remains unspoken, guiding you through the process of change. Whether this is through psychodynamic practices, EMDR, or a combination of both.

    Psychodynamic psychotherapy offers a supportive environment where you can be heard, understood, and accepted. With a psychodynamic therapist, a space is created to delve into confusing or dissatisfying aspects of yourself and your life, understanding how early experiences have shaped your mind, brain, and body. We will unpack and seek to better understand how early attachment relationships and adversity may continue to impact you and discover the root of your symptoms to be able to heal.

    Eye-movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life events. By healing the brain neurologically, we will improve and restore your mind-body connection to alleviate distress associated with past memories.

    I will help you explore who you are and create space for discovering who you want to become.

    I offer empathetic and insightful couples therapy aimed at fostering reconnection, mutual understanding, and resolution of persistent conflicts.

    You and your partner may be considering therapy because:

    • You feel trapped in a cycle of arguments, emotional distance, or ineffective communication.

    • Long-standing disconnection has become the norm.

    • You yearn to deepen your bond but feel uncertain about how to achieve that.

    • The lack of connection contrasts sharply with how you once felt.

    Address Hidden Conflicts through Psychodynamic Therapy

    Psychodynamic therapy facilitates understanding of unconscious patterns, family dynamics, and inner conflicts that contribute to relationship challenges. Greater self-awareness fosters healthier connections with yourself and others.

    ‍Establish Emotional Security through EFT

    Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) cultivates emotional security, allowing you and your partner to be vulnerable. You'll learn to respond to each other's attachment needs, strengthen your bond, and stabilize your relationship.
