Relational therapy for individuals, couples, and families navigating overwhelm, misunderstanding, or stuck patterns.

Support for preteens, teens, and adults in Washington State

Life can start to feel like a lot when your thoughts, emotions, or experiences don’t fit neatly into what others want or expect - whether that’s within yourself or in your closest relationships.

Many individuals, couples, and families I work with have spent years masking, over-functioning, keeping the peace, or trying to make themselves easier for others to digest. Over time, you might notice things like:

In mood or inner world

  • Depression, anxiety, irritability, or chronic overwhelm

  • Intense, confusing, or rapidly shifting emotions

  • Perfectionism or constant pressure to “get it right”

In coping and behaving

  • Escaping, numbing, withdrawing, shutting down, or avoiding

  • Acting out, meltdowns, or big reactions that feel hard to manage

In relationships

  • Ongoing conflict, power struggles, or disconnection

  • Feeling unseen, unheard, or misunderstood

And more…

You may have been managing much of this on your own for a long time - even while being in relationship with others. Therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of the patterns that have taken shape, and build more choice, flexibility, and authenticity in how you respond to life and others.
