Coaching & Counseling Services in Seattle, WA
EMDR
EMDR is a groundbreaking treatment for trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief, and chronic illness. As an online EMDR therapist, I aim to support you in reconciling the disturbing parts of your past or present. We’ll work at a reasonable pace based on your goals and comfort.
I’ll give you the coping skills you need to manage stress, and you will learn how to shift negative thoughts into more realistic beliefs. With time, I am confident you can start feeling more empowered and less stagnant in your daily life.
Emotional Support
At its core, emotional support therapy helps you identify and cope with your emotions. Rather than suppress, intellectualize, or numb how you feel, you can learn to embrace these emotions- even if they scare you.
No matter your circumstances, your emotions are valid! They are part of being human. But, together, we will tackle uncomfortable feelings like shame, sadness, anger, or fear. You’ll gain introspection and insight, both of which can help you live a more balanced life.
LGBTQIA2+
LGBTQIA2+ therapy often includes identifying, exploring, and achieving goals in an affirming, compassionate environment. If you want to show up in the world authentically, you deserve support to connect to your truth.
Many of my clients are in some kind of conflict- whether it’s systemic, familial, internal (or a combination of all three). I strive to provide a proactive professional stance to live a bold and wholehearted life. In our work, you are allowed to show up exactly as you are.
Life Transitions
Life is always changing, but these changes can be tumultuous. All growth- even when it’s positive- can be stressful. My main goal is to help you cope with such dynamic changes in proactive, meaningful ways.
I am here to support you through any transition you may be experiencing. And if you’re brainstorming a potential change, we’ll work together to decide the next steps for moving forward. No matter where you are in the change process, therapy can be invaluable.
Life Coaching
Life coaching is focused on helping you discover your true desires and potential. Together, we will explore your current situation and challenges, identify any limiting beliefs or patterns that may be holding you back, and develop goals and strategies for overcoming them. One of the key ways I support my clients is by helping them develop new narratives for their life. Our stories and beliefs about ourselves and the world around us can have a powerful impact on our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Ultimately, my goal is to help you develop self-compassion and insight that guides you to live a happier, more peaceful life.
Online Therapy
Online therapy in Washington gives you the convenience and flexibility to get support- without the commute or awkward waiting rooms. My therapy isn’t formal or pretentious- our work will be dynamic, invigorating, and collaborative.
I have a specialized focus in anxiety, life transitions, and serving the LGBTQIA2+ community. I also believe advocacy is an essential part of mental health treatment, and I work through a social justice lens in everything I do. In addition, I wholeheartedly embrace a Health at Every Size approach.
What You Can Expect From Our Counseling Work:
Regardless of what brings you to my practice, I will strive to hold a compassionate space for you to identify goals, overcome limiting beliefs, and make dynamic changes in your life. Things don’t need to feel stagnant or bleak anymore. You can grow. You can feel better. You can show up authentically in this world.
My work is rooted in person-centered, social justice, existential, systemic, narrative, somatic, and IFS modalities. In addition, I wholeheartedly embrace a Health at Every Size, and anti-diet lens.
What You Can Expect From Life Coaching:
Life coaching is a pathway to growth, healing, and an opportunity to prioritize your mental health. As an action-oriented mentor and emotional guide, I support you moving through emotional blocks in a way that empowers you to live life on your terms.
Together we will identify goals, values, and any obstacles holding you back in your life. Our work together will provide the structure, support, and guidance to help you build inner security and coping skills for navigating life.
