Navigating relationships is perhaps the most challenging area of our lives and yet we get no formal training on how to do it in school. This is where I can help. I can assist you and your loved ones to change old ways of interacting and to stop those circular arguments that go nowhere. Please take the time to call me for a free consultation.

Hi, I'm a licensed psychologist who is passionate about improving women's mental health, addressing sources of anxiety/stress, perfectionism, grief/loss, and trauma. I'm sensitive to the unique challenges women face, particularly related to societal expectations of wives/ mothers, women in the workforce, and other social organizations (like church). Women often come to me when they have exhausted all of their resources and are at the end of the rope in managing their anxiety and stress. I often hear that despite a strong desire to break through their circumstances, they often feel overwhelmed and stuck. They share that they need practical, hands-on strategies to help them overcome their problems.
I take a highly collaborative approach in our work, meaning that while I give clients necessary information to make an educated decision, clients are in control of their treatment throughout the entire process.
To get a feel for my style, I've included several pieces of feedback I've heard from clients who have enjoyed working with me:
1. "You see me and you hear me. I'm not alone anymore. This is the first time I've felt so understood."
2. "You are a safe place to just be myself with all my imperfections. I don't have to worry about putting on a mask."
3. "You give me practical tools to help me deal with my problems. I've made so much more progress in working with you over the past month than I did with my last therapist in years."

Hi! My name is Carmen. I'm a Marriage and Family therapist from the Seattle area. My therapy style can be described as warm, candid, and communicative. Therapy is a collaboration and I am here to be the mirror for you to feel empowered to access the answers inside of yourself. To get "unstuck", and and move forward on the path of healing for you to live your fullest life.
I am a trauma-informed Social Worker who provides counseling to individuals, couples, families, and polycules. I support my Clients to live on their own terms and have the best life that they can. My goal is to support the dignity, autonomy, and self-expression of everyone and work within a feminist, anti-racist, liberatory framework. I believe in freedom and vitality for all people everyone and have been working towards that world for decades. I believe in supporting my Clients to pursue their own goals in therapy and to live according to their own values.
I have been a clinical psychologist for my entire professional career. I began seeing patients beginning in 2010, and have continued to do so with dedication and passion ever since. I was drawn to this profession because I desire to help others. I chose to pursue my doctorate because I wanted to research and be trained in the most effective ways to accomplish this. Being trained in a number of evidence-based interventions, I work to utilize the approach that is the right fit for YOU as an individual; I aim to provide evidence-based skills and tools to help you to feel empowered to manage your symptoms in the context of a caring and supportive therapeutic space.
I approach therapy as easing into interactions in your time, with warmth and understanding. We work together to identify and reach goals. This space is collaborative, non-judgmental, moving at your pace. This involves self-compassion, observation of self-talk, engaging in reframing. Skill building is also identified and practiced, both in session and between sessions. We will discuss what you connect with, may identify patterns and talk about what shifts may look like. Identifying emotions, validating and holding space for them will also be a part of this journey. I draw from modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), as well as skill use from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).
I live in the beautiful Southwest, and I embrace my Hispanic heritage. My best childhood memories are family road trips between Mexico and the USA. I learned at an early age that diversity was something to cherish, and yet I realized that differences can lead to division. With this in mind, I decided to pursue a degree in social work. I chose to focus on mental health in order to be a catalyst for hope and healing in my community. I have worked with nonprofit organizations, schools, and State agencies delivering best-practice mental health services. Currently, I provide tele-health services in three States. I am a bilingual therapist- Spanish. and I specialize in helping adults process childhood trauma due to family substance use, domestic abuse and neglect. The focus is to treat the anxiety, depression, grief, difficulty with relationships, challenges in parenting, and a host of issues that may result from unresolved pain. I believe that healing is a journey we do not have to travel alone.
Did you grow up in high-demand religion, such as a small fundamentalist church or an extremely conservative denomination? Has this affected your life in more ways than one, even if you're now an atheist adult? Maybe you still struggle to trust people, or feel like you fit in, or have strained family and romantic relationships.
I've been there, and I can help. Not all therapists understand what religious trauma is like, especially "lower-case 't' trauma" when you can't point to one single explanation for why church was harmful to you. A lot of religious trauma therapists are also Christian; this doesn't mean that they're bad at what they do, but you might feel the need to work with someone from a more agnostic or skeptical worldview.
