Online Therapy in Washington
If you came to Washington from somewhere else, you may already know the Seattle Freeze. Locals rarely feel it — they have their people, their roots, the friendships that go back years. But if you arrived as an adult, you know the particular experience of a city that is outwardly warm, progressive, welcoming in principle — and genuinely hard to break into. Where people are friendly but rarely become close. Where connection stays at the surface no matter how long you’ve been there.
For many women who’ve experienced that, there’s a quiet question that follows: is it the city, or is it me? And the honest answer is often that the Freeze simply made visible something that was already there — a long-practiced habit of giving generously, staying agreeable, and waiting for closeness to arrive rather than knowing how to ask for it.
Whether you’re a transplant still finding your footing or a longtime Washington resident, if something in that feels familiar — in your relationships, in the way you move through love and conflict and connection — that’s worth paying attention to. It’s a pattern. And patterns, with the right support, can change.
As a licensed therapist serving women across Washington State, I offer secure, confidential online therapy from Seattle and the Puget Sound to Spokane, Bellingham, Olympia, and the communities between. Online sessions mean you can do this work from wherever you are, without compromising the depth or the relationship.
My Approach
My work is relational and depth-oriented — grounded in genuine curiosity about your inner world rather than the quick management of symptoms. I draw from attachment-based and psychodynamic foundations, as well as Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic work, and expressive arts, to help you understand the patterns shaping your experience and actually move through them rather than simply around them.
Many of the women I work with in Washington arrive already knowing, on some level, what the pattern is. They’ve been in therapy before. They’ve read the books. They understand where things came from. And still, something remains stuck — felt but not yet moved through. That gap between insight and real change is exactly where this work lives.
This is not surface-level coping. It is sustained, relational work that builds a deepening trust in your own experience — until orienting toward yourself feels less like a risk and more like coming home.
Who This Work Is For
The women I work with in Washington are accomplished and self-aware. They’ve often spent years being the capable one — the one who holds it together, reads the room, keeps the peace. They come to therapy not because everything has fallen apart, but because they can feel themselves slowly disappearing, and they’re no longer willing to keep losing ground.
This work is particularly suited to women navigating self-abandonment and people-pleasing, relationship anxiety and attachment patterns, the effects of emotionally immature or unavailable parents, and the long accumulation of complex or developmental trauma. If you’re unsure whether what you’re carrying fits that description, the consultation call is the right place to find out.
What to Expect
Sessions are held via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform and are available to women throughout Washington State. We meet weekly at a consistent time — that consistency is part of what makes depth work possible. Some clients choose to meet twice weekly during significant seasons of the work.
Online therapy is not a compromise. For many women, being in their own space — with their own comforts nearby — makes it easier to access what’s real. The relationship we build is no less present for happening across a screen.
Frequently Asked Questions - Online Therapy in Washington
-
Sessions are held via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. We meet weekly at a consistent time, creating a steady container for the work to unfold. All you need is a private space, a reliable internet connection, and a device with a camera and microphone. Many clients find that the privacy and familiarity of their own environment supports the depth of the work rather than limiting it.
-
For most of the women I work with, yes. The quality of therapy depends far less on location than on the consistency and depth of the relationship. With the right structure and genuine presence on both sides, meaningful and lasting change happens online just as it does in person.
-
Weekly sessions are required. Depth-oriented therapy depends on consistency — it’s what allows trust to build and real things to surface. Some clients choose to meet twice weekly during particularly significant periods of the work, and I welcome that when there’s a good fit.
-
My practice is private pay. I don’t bill insurance directly, which protects your confidentiality and allows our work to remain unencumbered by the limitations managed care often imposes. I provide superbills upon request, which you can submit to your insurer for potential reimbursement under your out-of-network benefits. It’s worth a call to your insurance company to ask about your out-of-network mental health coverage before we begin.
-
I specialize in self-abandonment, people-pleasing, relationship anxiety, and the early wounds that shape them — including complex trauma and the effects of emotionally immature parents. My work is depth-oriented and relational, drawing on IFS, somatic awareness, and expressive arts. If you’ve spent years being the one who holds everything together at the expense of yourself, this work was built for you.
