Relationship Counseling in Seattle, WA
Relationship therapy creates space to understand the patterns that take over when you feel hurt, threatened, or alone, especially the ones that show up most strongly with the people you love.
Individuals and couples often seek this work when infidelity, attachment injuries, childhood trauma, or the same painful cycle of pursuit and withdrawal begin to erode trust, intimacy, and the safety to be yourself or express your vulnerabilities.
How Therapy can Help
Relationship therapy gives us a place to look honestly at what keeps happening between you and the people you love, or inside you when closeness starts to feel threatening.
With couples, we work directly with the pattern that pulls you into defensiveness, shutdown, or escalation so you can begin responding to each other from a more vulnerable and grounded place.
With individuals, we focus on how attachment wounds and earlier relational experiences are shaping your choices, your reactions, and the way you hold yourself in intimacy.
Change happens through lived and corrective emotional experiences, not just insight, when a partner risks saying what is actually there and is met with accountability and care instead of defensiveness, or when you stay with your own grief, anger, or longing without turning it against yourself.
For those who have tried other therapy modalities before and still feel stuck, I also offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), an experiential approach that can soften rigid defenses and open access to deeper emotion, creating new pathways for healing.

Integrated Therapy Approaches

Somatic Therapy
Somatic therapy works with the body because healing isn’t just a mindset shift, it’s a nervous system shift. As your system learns to regulate, reactions soften, emotions feel more manageable, and change happens more naturally.

Internal Family Systems
Internal Family Systems sees your inner world as made up of different “parts,” each with its own emotions, roles, and intentions. When you get to know these parts with compassion, the inner conflict softens and you create more space for clarity, peace, and healing.

Mindfulness
Mindfulness is really just learning to pay attention to what’s happening inside and around you, in real time, without piling up the criticism. It’s the practice of noticing your thoughts and feelings with curiosity rather than judgment, so you can respond with clarity instead of reacting on autopilot.

Attachment Science
Attachment science explores how the relationships we first relied on create a blueprint for how we connect, cope, and feel safe. Those early bonds influence how we view ourselves and how we show up in relationships throughout our lives.
