Connect with Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) in Kirkland, WA

Life can get messy and complicated, and sometimes we just need a little help coping. We all have the potential to be living fully, experience joy even during times of trials. "Meanings are not determined by situations, but we determine ourselves by the meanings we give to situations." Alfred Adler.

Greetings and Welcome. I often work with people who already get it. They know all too well what their problems are and what they should or should not be doing, like worrying less or not being so hard on themselves. But they keep doing the same things over and over. They’re stuck. They doubt what therapy can do for them.

I am glad you're here. I offer trauma-informed therapy. Maybe you want guidance digging into deeper emotions and healing forward. Maybe you long for self-care amid life transitions. My clients grow more attuned to themselves and to their stories, and they experience freedom from thinking patterns and wounded beliefs.

My name is Janelle, and I provide a safe space where you can explore the realities of your difficulties. There are times in life when we all encounter roadblocks. These can be quite challenging and halt us from moving in any direction. In these times, it is normal to desperately search for solutions outside ourselves.

Do you feel like you are struggling to fit in or just having a harder time than others around you? Does this make you feel isolated or distant from others? I am here to guide through your intrusive thoughts, assist with beliefs about yourself that are hindering you, and guide you to finding the support you need to discover self-acceptance.

I'm so glad you took this first step of reaching out for support! Whether you want to navigate difficulties in your life, repair relationships, or build a strong foundation for your mental and emotional wellness, I am here to help.

I have a passion for working with young people and the families who shape them. I believe healthy individuals are nurtured within healthy families, and that strong families build resilient societies. This belief fuels my commitment to helping clients discover hope, confidence, and healing in their own stories.

Feeling disconnected and dysregulated? My practice integrates traditional therapy with the grounding power of nature through mindful connection with the natural world. Clients learn to regulate stress, deepen self-awareness, and rediscover a sense of safety. I also help people slow down, reconnect with themselves, and build resilience.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor (NY), Professional Counselor (CT), and CASAC-M. I specialize in addiction, anger, depression, anxiety, and behavioral issues. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to build coping skills, resilience, and confidence through a strengths-based lens. Therapy can feel intimidating, but I’ll walk with you at your pace.

Is life overwhelming you? You don’t have to go at it alone. It takes courage to reach out and ask for help. As you begin your journey toward emotional healing and growth, it is important to me to develop a positive connection that creates a safe, comfortable environment where we work together to address the difficulties you are having.

I believe in empowering you to live your best life, including developing nurturing and healthy relationships, self-awareness, confidence, and purpose. I work with people facing depression, anxiety, situational changes, end-of-life concerns, addiction and recovery, and systemic issues like racism, sexism, ageism, and genderism.

Therapy with me is collaborative, relational, and rooted in liberation, not symptom suppression. I don’t believe in passive therapy where you vent and nothing changes. I also don’t believe in cold, clinical therapy that disconnects you from your humanity. We build something real together.

My mission is to help the hurting. I do so primarily by Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques. I have treated Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Relational Issues, Co-parenting, Infidelity, Life transitions, Pre-marital counseling, Grief and Loss, and much more.

Therapy is a healing journey you decide to take for yourself, like a road trip or a walk in nature. You chose your path. You decide turns, destinations, stops, starts and what to say and do along the way. I am here helping you navigate your healing journey in therapy. I will be your guide providing you with routes, options and tools to support you.

Did some things happen to you that make it hard moving forward and making sense of your situation? Do you feel your pain is hard to share with others and open up with confidence? My goal is to guide you through your narrative, and if not get back to your old self, then find the way to get out of your situation stronger and with more insight.

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure what to do? When life doesn’t unfold as expected, the emotional pain of loss due to illness, anxiety, or other major life transitions can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself and the life you want. You are not alone. Together, we will make sense of your experience and create a plan to move forward.

I have a track record marked by depth and tenacity. I earned top honors from Barry University, then spent the next two decades serving as a Behavioral Health Specialist, Clinical Director, Consultant, and Expert Witness.

I have a mission to help those who find themselves stuck grow stronger through education based on up-to-date information about the mind and body, while allowing for your growth at your own pace. Science has learned that there is a lot more to our problems than being able to 'just deal with it,' and I aim to help you be more prepared in life.

I welcome anyone who feels bothered, ashamed, confused, or frightened and wishes to explore their feelings to feel better. It's not uncommon to be hesitant about opening up to a therapist. I am here for you and understand you. I look at how you feel about yourself and give you the chance to feel comfortable so you can move forward.
