I offer individual psychotherapy sessions for young, midlife, and elderly adults, as well as families and couples.I work with people who are seeking self-discovery and wholeness which is often embarked upon at difficult times in life. These difficulties might include a sense of feeling lost or empty, depression, illness, feeling pressured to meet the needs of other people, grief and loss, feelings of being stuck, spiritual crisis, relationship concerns, changes related to aging, creative blocks, identity confusion, or free-floating anxiety. These "symptoms" are often the psyche's way of getting one's attention so that healing can begin. People often recognize they may need guidance when their relationships are in conflict or begin to break down. In these instances, having someone to talk to about communication, personal values, intimacy, and old patterns that can show up in present relationships can be extremely helpful. Other times the need to reach out comes with the pain of saying good-bye or letting go of someone, some place, or something dear to you. Processing grief is a natural response to change and loss which can be a focus of therapy.I believe that each person has within them the seeds needed for healing and growth. With the help and guidance of a therapist you can begin to find meaning in your experiences and gain insight into your personal quest toward living a fulfilling, authentic, and beautiful life. I liken this quest to the hero or heroine's journey where new lands are explored and the treasure is discovered. I would be honored to join you on the quest. My psychotherapy practice is located in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle, close to many bus lines, coffee shops, restaurants, boutiques, and the Lake Washington Ship Canal and Fremont Canal Park.
