Connect with Trust-Based Relational Intervention therapy in Seattle, WA

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.

Life gets messy—we’ve all been there. I help clients feel grounded, break through barriers, and find the support they need. With mindfulness and a touch of directness, I guide folks through anxiety, self-doubt, and change with compassion. You’re not alone. Let’s walk this path together.

I’m a multi-state Licensed Mental Health Counselor using integrative, evidence-based approaches to support whole-person healing. I blend clinical and holistic strategies to help clients process trauma, manage stress, and build lasting resilience in a compassionate, collaborative space.

People want to decrease stress, feel grounded, and secure. It's what I want too. We often become stuck in circumstances and in our own minds, which can cause significant distress and erode our sense of self. I can help you sort through difficult thoughts, emotions, and change behaviors that do not serve you anymore.

Welcome! So, your path has brought you here to Rula; it's likely you are looking for some assistance in dealing with something in your life or your current situation, and hope to find a person who can offer that assistance. Perhaps you have found that person right here!

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.

I support individuals through complex emotional and psychological challenges. Passionate about social justice, I actively engage in causes aimed at creating more equitable and compassionate communities. My identities and professional experience contribute meaningful perspective into the diverse experiences of family and identity.

I've spent 15 years helping people stop circling the same patterns and actually change them. I'm warm, direct and honest - I'll hold space for your pain and challenge you to move through it. We won't just manage symptoms, we'll go deep to the root. I'll help you see yourself clearly, sit with what is hard, and build something different.

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 specialize in only working with young women ages 18–33 who are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma-related challenges. My approach is focused on the present moment, using practical tools and evidence-based strategies that help you feel better and achieve your therapy goals. Together, we'll create meaningful change.

I’m a licensed therapist with 18+ years of experience helping high-achieving adults navigate trauma, anxiety, ADHD, and burnout. I offer a warm, collaborative space where we use approaches like EMDR, IFS, and CBT to create meaningful, lasting change—not just short-term coping. My goal is to help you feel more grounded and secure.

My life has led me to believe in the power of internal peace. An individual, regardless of one's past, present, and future, is deserving of the peace that comes from loving oneself and being able to show love to others. Ready to learn the tools and foster pathways to create personal peace and fulfillment? You can achieve this and peace with/ me.

I am an MSW, LICSW, an adoptee, and a therapist who specializes in psychotherapy for adoptees. I understand how adoption can shape identity, grief, attachment, and relationships in ways that are often misunderstood. I offer a thoughtful, validating space where the full complexity of your experience can be explored.
