Individual Therapy in Seattle
You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just ready for something to shift. Whether it’s anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, or a quiet sense that something isn’t quite right, individual therapy offers a place to explore what matters most to you. It’s not just about fixing what feels broken—it’s also about building something stronger, more connected, and more aligned with who you truly are.
Can therapy help if I’m not in crisis?
Yes. Therapy isn’t just for times of distress. Many people I work with are functioning well on the outside but want more depth, clarity, or intentionality in how they live. They’re seeking a space to reflect, refine, and evolve—whether that’s in their relationships, careers, self-expression, or sexuality. If you’re curious about your inner world and open to growing your capacity for insight, therapy can be a powerful tool.
How do I know if I need support?
If you’re asking that question, you probably already have your answer. You don’t have to wait until things get worse. Therapy can help if you’re:
- Feeling anxious or on edge
- Struggling with focus or procrastination
- Disconnected from yourself or others
- Feeling low, unmotivated, or emotionally numb
- Longing for more meaning or direction
- Wanting to relate differently to your body or sexuality
- Striving to be more present, more grounded, more you
Can therapy help me feel more connected to others?
Absolutely. We are wired for connection, and many of us have relational wounds that make intimacy difficult. Therapy can help you explore attachment patterns, build relational skills, and feel more at home in vulnerability. You don’t need to “fix” yourself to be loved—often, the work is in learning to show up more fully and to trust that your presence is enough.
Do you work with anxiety and stress?
Yes, I help clients work through many expressions of anxiety—including generalized worry, panic, social anxiety, and the kind of high-functioning anxiety that keeps you always moving but rarely resting. Together, we unpack not just the symptoms but the systems—internal and external—that contribute to the unease, helping you return to a steadier, more self-led rhythm.
What about depression, numbness, or feeling stuck?
Depression doesn’t always look like sadness. Sometimes it’s emptiness, lack of motivation, or a sense of detachment. I approach your experience with curiosity and compassion—not to pathologize, but to better understand what your system is trying to communicate. From there, we can build new ways of relating to your emotional world that invite energy, connection, and hope.
I have ADHD or focus issues. Is therapy still helpful?
Yes. Therapy won’t replace medication, but it can help you develop a more skillful relationship with time, energy, and emotion. I work with many clients navigating attention challenges, perfectionism, shame spirals, and the inner critic. Together, we can explore practices that support self-compassion, executive functioning, and nervous system regulation.
I want to work on my sexuality, identity, or pleasure—can I do that here?
Yes, and you’re not alone in wanting that. Many people come to therapy wanting to explore questions of desire, gender, identity, fantasy, embodiment, or shame. This is a space where nothing is too tender or too complex. Whether you’re looking to heal, to celebrate, or simply to understand yourself more deeply, I can support that.
What if I just want to feel more effective, present, or grounded?
That’s a great reason to be here. Many clients come not with a single issue but with a desire to optimize—to grow their resilience, refine their communication, deepen their self-awareness, or become more emotionally agile. I can help you build the inner capacities that allow you to show up more fully in your life, relationships, and work.
The work we do
In therapy, we slow things down—not to avoid life, but to listen to it more clearly. Our sessions might include:
- Working with your nervous system, not against it
- Mapping attachment styles and relational patterns
- Exploring family and cultural narratives that shaped you
- Practicing boundary setting and emotional regulation
- Making space for grief, joy, anger, desire—all of it
- Naming what matters and how you want to live
