I am client/family focused and utilize multiple techniques to provide my clients with a positive therapeutic experience. My strenghts include a strong ability to relate well to those of all ages, flexibility, commitment to change, and being solution oriented.” My practice serves individuals, couples, and specializes in children and families. I use a wide variety of therapeutic techniques to fit your individual needs so that you can successfully meet your goals.

I provide individual and family counseling to all kinds of people with all kinds of struggles, from adolescence through adulthood. I specialize in treatment of anxiety and depression, but I am especially interested in the circumstances that cause them. This can include difficult life transitions, social problems, romantic relationship issues, family conflict, low self-esteem, grief and loss, history of abuse and anger problems--just to name a few. I also work with individuals who have undergone trauma. My goal is to give you some coping skills to help you feel better immediately, while working on the larger issues in need of change. My approach is broad, and combines elements of psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal and family systems therapies. Most importantly, I am strengths-based. I design the therapeutic intervention around the unique strengths and needs of each client. I believe that success in counseling is largely about finding the right fit with your therapist. That's why I offer a free hour of consultation, either by phone or in person. If you are under the age of 18, you are welcome to bring a trusted adult.

Imagine having less stress in your life and escaping the negative cycles that hold you back! By engaging in therapy at Renton Family Therapy, you can take a big step toward feeling more satisfied and happy with your life and relationships. I work with teens, adults, and couples that are looking for the next level of success and fulfillment. My approach to counseling is based on Mindfulness Based Therapy, Lifespan Integration, and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, which are all proven techniques that help you take charge of your healing process effectively and quickly. I also offer coaching in Mindfulness and Positive Discipline Parent Education. I am located in downtown Renton.

I will work with you to define your priorities and goals, examine what has interfered in achieving those goals, and strategize how you can more effectively achieve those ambitions. Each person brings a unique set of strengths and problems - I work with my clients to: Overcome Anxiety & Depression Address Past Traumas Champion Life’s Changes Deepen Meaning in Their Life I am trained in Gestalt and other Humanistic interventions as well as Cognitive Behavioral techniques. I also incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when appropriate.

I work with adults (individuals and coupled) who are having a hard time working with what life is having to offer. My specialty is anxiety and related concerns, though I have extensive experience helping with depression and personal achievement interests. I am accepting new clients now. Call and reserve your session time. I look forward to hearing from you.

I have discovered that I work somewhat differently with different people; this is probably because each client is different and has different problems, strengths, needs and goals, and because, in each case, a unique relationship develops between me and the client. In all cases, I place the utmost importance on deeply understanding the client’s experience and on meeting that person with empathy and respect. I believe that people contain the seeds of their own authenticity and development, and that it is the therapist’s job to help the client remove what blocks his or her natural growth. When working with individuals, I use Emotion-Focused Therapy, existential therapy, and mindfulness-based therapy, as well as other techniques. I also pay a lot of attention to people’s histories in order to understand how their past development and experiences might be affecting their current capacity to live well in the present and imagine a future. Finally, I sometimes use Lifespan Integration© therapy to help clients integrate bodily/emotional memories from infancy, childhood and adolescence with their adult capacities for understanding. I find Lifespan Integration to be especially helpful for healing recent trauma gently without re-traumatizing. In couples counseling, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy to help partners deeply reconnect on the level of needs and feelings (as opposed to having that same unproductive argument over and over again). Once couples have learned to communicate in a way that is likely to get their needs met and have had help in healing breaches of trust, they generally find they can solve other problems without therapeutic help. Main Counseling Services: mental health counseling services (sometimes called “therapy” or “psychotherapy”) for individual adults couples counseling for couples in conflict, couples seeking to address specific relationship problems, and couples wishing to enhance their relationships grief counseling, trauma counseling, and treatment for people suffering from anxiety or depression, as well as for those working through identity issues, life transitions, or a variety of other problems counseling for people adjusting to, or coming to terms with, physical disability, sensory disability, chronic illness, life-threatening illness, or terminal illness counseling for family members of people with disabilities and/or illnesses, such as those needing help with caregiver stress counseling for crime victims under Washington State’s Crime Victims Compensation Program.

There are two arenas within which we struggle with conflict: intrapersonal conflict (the conflict within us), and interpersonal conflict (the conflict between us). The better able we are in managing the conflict within us, the more effective we will be at managing the conflict between us. Whether you struggle with anger, stress, addiction, or marital issues, I offer individual, couple, and family sessions, and anger management workshops (that meet court order requirements), along with weekly education & support groups specifically for men.

Psychotherapy is a means by which we realize acceptance, solutions and understanding for what life throws our way. The process facilitates a sacred relationship which allows for us to be known and seen for who, what and where we are. Doing my own work in the patient seat has made it possible for me to use all my life challenges to do the work with others.

Welcome I am a master level psychotherapist in private practice in Seattle since 1990 working with individuals, couples, and families. The variety of issues I assist people with include: Depression Stress Anxiety Relationship Career and Life Transitions Divorce Physical/Sexual Abuse Adoption Roadblocks to Getting Started With Counseling What being in counseling means Sometimes people feel embarrassed that they are unable to resolve their problems on their own and need professional help. Needing assistance makes them feel weak. It actually takes personal strength to admit you have a problem and take the action to solve it. One of the goals of counseling is to help you to ultimately adopt tools that would be conducive to preventing a similar experience/situation in the future. Will the counselor understand? Will I be criticized? Problems that people discuss in counseling are very personal and therefore people feel vulnerable. Being concerned about how the counselor will respond is common, especially if you have been criticized or ridiculed for sharing your versions of your experiences with those important to you. Am I helpless? Part of being depressed is a feeling of helplessness. Feeling helpless and being helpless are not the same thing. You are not helpless. You have begun the process of seeking help with a personal problem and reaching some resolution to these problems. How do I get started? It is important to find a counselor with whom you would be comfortable working. Choosing one that works on issues you are dealing with and meeting with them is a good start. Sometimes people meet with more than one counselor before deciding which one to continue with. If you have insurance you can contact them and ask if a certain provider is on their preferred provider list. They may also cover a non-preferred provider but at a different rate. If you don’t have insurance many providers offer a sliding scale or an every other week appointment schedule might be arranged. If an arrangement with that counselor cannot be worked out they may have information concerning other resources in your area that would be appropriate.

I have lived, played, and worked in Seattle and the Puget Sound Region since 2002. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor I work as a full-time Therapist in Seattle and Redmond. I received a Masters in Counseling and Certificate in DV Advocacy from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology in December 2006. In my counseling practice I come from two primary perspectives. The first perspective is that examining the themes and stories of my past will enhance my ability to lead a healthy and fulfilling life today. Stories about our families, caregivers, schools, friends, breakups, successful relationships and abusive ones all can have power in the here and now. In other words I strongly promote the idea of the examined life as the quickest and surest way to happiness and fulfillment. The second perspective I bring to my practice is as follows. There really is no point to doing 'therapy' if I am currently not living a life where my basic needs are being met. Sudden tragedy, compulsive behaviors and addictions, financial stresses, changing careers, and other significant "disruptions" can all be reasons to seek help from therapy. Emergent issues and basic needs will be addressed first and foremost.

Welcome. I am a psychotherapist who helps people with chronic medical conditions navigate this often complex terrain in order to better connect with their wisdom and to live more fully, with meaning and purpose. I work to help you integrate your body's inner healing wisdom to align with and maximize the powerful tools available to us via Western medicine. Through psychotherapy and mindfulness training, I can help you learn the skills to live well and manage your illness, with grace and with meaning. Through talk therapy, I help people cope with a new diagnosis, learn skills and be mindful about their health experience, pulling from the best in both Western and Eastern medical tradtions. I teach skills for stress reduction, relaxation and mindfulness. Each day, it seems, the medical community learns more about the relationship between stress reduction and brain science. These are interconnected, and it is so impressive that even a mature brain can rewire itself for healthier functioning and a more content outlook on life. Guiding Principles: I intend to embody respect for the innovation and rigor of western medicine and the tradition of psychotherapy while incorporating the grace and depth of the traditions of Eastern thought. My therapeutic approach empowers clients to voice their concerns and make good decisions. I am committed to clear communication with physicians and other health care team members.

I use traditional "talk therapy" to meet you where you are while applying the techniques of mindfulness based stress reduction, cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal neurobiology and other approaches to help you uncover your authentic self and ultimately reach your optimum potential. I believe that no one understands your experience as well as you do. I also believe real growth and positive change are most possible when a person feels safe and supported. For that reason, I strive to create an honest, sincere, non-judgmental and personable environment for the purposes of counseling and therapy. Autism and Asperger's are my specialties. I have over 15 years of clinical experience working with Children, Teens and Adults with ASD. I also provide counseling and support for parents and family members who are caring for a loved one with ASD and conduct workshops on academic skill development. I offer Social Awareness and Confidence Group for Children, Teens and Adults. Groups are intentionally small (no more than 3 in a group) and carefully selected to ensure a good fit for all. Rates for groups are much lower than individual therapy.

I’m a Licensed Social Worker Associate Independent Clinical (LSWAIC). Since I have an associate license, I still receive supervision from a licensed provider. I’m originally from New York State but have also lived in Illinois and Kansas. I’m passionate about working with adolescents and providing treatments that are based on scientific research showing that it’s effective in treating the problem. I have many years of experience working with children, adolescents, young adults and families. I believe it’s important to involve parents in treatment while working with adolescents so that we can work as a team to meet goals while also allowing adolescents to take the lead in their treatment. I work with individuals ages 9-25 and their parents. I have training in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical-Behavior Therapy, Family Based Treatment for eating disorders, Exposure Therapy, Behavioral Parent Training and a strong passion working with adolescents, young adults and families. Diagnoses that I’ve worked with include but are not limited to: Anxiety Disorders, Depression/Mood Disorders, Adjustment, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), ADHD, eating disorders, emotional dysregulation and transitions. I also offer ADHD evaluations. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about treatment I provide or disorders that I treat!

Looking for an effective alternative to traditional therapy? I have over 20 years experience as a Psychotherapist and Counselor as well as additional training in Psychosynthesis (Transpersonal Psychology), EMDR, Hypnosis and NLP. I am also a Reiki Master and trained in other energy modalities including sound healing and have found energy work to be extremely effective as an adjunct to Psychotherapy. Each person is unique and I have found that different modalities can help individuals heal more quickly on a deeper level. Working with you I draw upon my experience, education and my own spiritual and contemplative practices to help you clear away blocks from the past and discover and live from your true self. I offer talk therapy and energy work either individually or combined. Finding the right therapist is important so I would be glad to talk with you to help determine if I would be a good fit. Best Wishes on your journey.

The leading affordable HBOT Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Treatment Center in the Pacific Northwest operating since 2010, Washington Hyperbaric Therapy Center technicians have treated a wide range of health conditions using hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Sometimes called "dives," the treatments are straightforward. Patients relax inside a high pressure full body chamber (hyperbaric chamber) where oxygen is delivered at higher atmospheric pressures as they inhale oxygen at higher than normal concentration. This oxygen dissolves into the blood, plasma, and tissues and reaches areas with low blood flow caused by inflammation, injury, or disease. Our clients include professional athletes, high tech entrepreneurs, members from the autism community and many local and out of state individuals that seek uncompromising health results.

We are each unique and precious expressions of something vast and perfect - of True Nature. Our lives unfold naturally as this expression when we are able to see through our "conditioned self" and connect with what is most real in us. To see through our "conditioned self", we need to develop the capacity to discriminate between what is deeply true for us and what we've taken to be the truth through our conditioning. We need to learn to be there for ourselves with openness, curiosity, strength, and kindness as we do this challenging work. It is a tremendous support to have a seasoned professional that you can trust to gently yet firmly support and guide you in this work.

I work with children, adults, and couples. My main training is in the psychodynamic orientation, but I also have experience in cognitive-behavioral and brief psychotherapy. In addition to general psychotherapy, I have specific training and experience in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which is especially suited to those who have been traumatized, are anxious, or have experienced debilitating loss. The nature and extent of psychological treatment varies according to the issues involved. In general, treatment entails an identification of problem areas, an increasing understanding of the external circumstances and internal thoughts and feelings that contribute to the difficulties, and an exploration of the clients' strengths suited to addressing their issues. When appropriate, treatment may also involve an exploration of patterns of relationships formed in the past, their influence on current difficulties, and changes the client may want to make to secure more stable relationships in the future.

In our demanding world, we often learn to silence ourselves, to shut out our unique thoughts, dreams and beliefs in favor of what think we should do or who we think we should be. In this way, we learn a pattern of self-denial that can leave us feeling afraid, anxious, confused, depressed, ashamed and lonely. My clients come to me because they are looking to rediscover themselves, to find their passions and to heal the wounds that prevent them from living their most authentic lives. Often they are focused around the needs and concerns of others to the degree that they forget or even have difficulty recognizing their own. Utilizing an integrative "psycho-spiritual" approach, energetic and body-centered techniques, I help my clients get in touch with who they are and what they want. I help them find and honor their own voices as well as all the different parts of themselves that are longing to be loved and given a place. This often means helping my clients access their "felt sense," or intuitive knowing, which is the language of the heart and soul. In doing this, they not only come to know themselves and their story better, but they also have the opportunity to connect with something larger and the spiritual truths and stories that frame their lives. I offer a sliding fee scale for those who meet the criteria and am happy to provide a receipt for insurance reimbursement.

My intent in a counseling session is to show up as my whole self, and make space for you to show up as your whole self. I believe that people have an innate ability to heal, and I know that the keys to balance and well being exist inside of you.
