INDIVIDUAL THERAPY • SEATTLE + WASHINGTON
Individual Therapy in Seattle & Virtual Across Washington
For when relationships take up a lot of space in your head and you’re ready to feel more like yourself again
Maybe you’re the person who notices everything. The shift in someone’s tone. The text that feels a little off. The possibility that someone might be upset with you. Before you know it, you’re replaying the conversation, second-guessing what you said, adjusting what you need, or trying to fix something that may not even be yours to fix.
You might be really good at reading other people and still have a hard time knowing what you actually want. You say yes when you mean maybe. You keep the peace. You second-guess yourself. And sometimes the questions are bigger: Is this the relationship I want? Do I want children? Do I want to get married? What if we want different things? You keep thinking that if you analyze it long enough, eventually you’ll feel 100% certain.
That’s the kind of stuff we can slow down and look at together. Not so you can become less caring, stop needing people, or magically eliminate uncertainty, but so you can hear yourself more clearly, trust your own reactions, and stay connected to yourself even when relationships or big decisions feel complicated.
You replay conversations and wonder what you should have said differently.
You spend so much time trying to figure out how other people feel about you.
You know what everyone else wants, but you’re less and less sure what you want.
You’re questioning a relationship, your future, or whether you want children…and keep hoping you’ll eventually feel 100% certain.
You have a hard time making decisions when every option seems to come with some kind of loss.
You want to trust yourself more instead of constantly looking for reassurance that you’re making the “right” choice.
Does Any of This Feel Familiar?
What Can We Work On Together?
-
Overthinking, Self-Doubt & People-Pleasing
Maybe you replay conversations, constantly look for reassurance, feel guilty setting boundaries, or lose track of what you need because you’re so focused on everyone else.
We can slow those patterns down, get curious about where they come from, and help you build more trust in yourself without becoming less caring or connected to the people you love. -
Relationship Questions & Big Decisions
Maybe you’re asking yourself things like: Do I stay or go? Do I want children? Do I want to get married? What if we want different things? These questions can take up a lot of mental space, especially when there isn’t one obvious “right” answer.
Therapy can give you a place to sort through what you actually want, what you’re afraid of losing, and what might be coming from pressure, expectation, or fear. The goal isn’t to push you toward a decision, it’s to help you feel more grounded in whichever choice you make.

Identity, Burnout & Relationship Patterns
Maybe you’re tired of being the one who holds everything together. You’ve gotten used to being the responsible one, in charge of what everyone else needs…but it has left you feeling disconnected from yourself.
Let’s take a look at the roles you’ve taken on, the patterns that keep showing up in your relationships, and what you actually want when you’re not trying to meet everyone else’s expectations.
What Are We Actually Trying to Get To?
You don’t need to become a person who never doubts themselves, never gets anxious, or always knows exactly what they want.
The goal is more room to hear yourself clearly.
To make decisions without needing absolute certainty. To say what you mean without spending the next six hours wondering if you upset someone. And to stay connected to yourself even when the people you love want something different.
How I Work
I’m interested in way more than just helping you talk yourself out of uncomfortable feelings. We’ll pay attention to what happens in the room, what you notice in your body, what you avoid, what you immediately explain away, and what starts to come up when there isn’t a clear “right” answer.
My approach is relational, attachment-informed, experiential, and practical. Sometimes we’ll slow things way down. Sometimes I’ll challenge you. And sometimes we’ll have to make room for two things being true at the same time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What issues do you commonly work with in individual therapy?
I find myself a relationship therapist at heart. But this means relationship with others and yourself! This means I see a lot of people with relationship concerns, overthinking, people-pleasing, boundaries, self-doubt, identity, parenting stress, burnout, attachment patterns, and major decisions about relationships, commitment, and family.
Do I have to be in crisis to start therapy?
Not at all. A lot of people start therapy because something feels off, repetitive, or harder than they want it to be. You might be doing well and still want help understanding your relationships, making a big decision, setting boundaries, or feeling more like yourself or who you want to be.
Can therapy help me decide whether I want to stay in my relationship?
Okay, so I am not going to make any decisions for you! But here’s the thing, therapy can give you a place to explore the question without pushing you toward staying or leaving. We can look at what you want, what you’re afraid of, what belongs to the relationship itself, and what may be coming from old patterns or expectations. There’s a lot to unpack and I’m here during the hard stuff.
Can you help if I’m unsure whether I want children?
Yes. This kind of uncertainty can bring up identity, grief, freedom, partnership, aging, family expectations, and imagined futures all at once. Therapy can help you understand what is underneath the indecision without treating uncertainty as something you simply need to “fix.” There may not be one clear “right” decision, and therapy gives you a place to work through all the messy feelings that come with that.
Do you offer individual therapy in Seattle and virtually across Washington?
Yes! Individual therapy is available in Belltown, Seattle and virtually for clients throughout Washington.
