Therapy for Women Navigating Identity, Sexuality, and Other Big Life Changes
For Clients in Seattle and across Washington State
Who Am I, Really?
Maybe you’ve always played by the rules—checking the right boxes, meeting expectations, doing what was “supposed” to make you happy. But somewhere along the way, you lost yourself.
Or maybe you’re in the middle of a major shift—reexamining what you want, who you are, and what no longer fits. A career change, a breakup, a shift in your sexuality or gender expression, or an unraveling of beliefs that once felt certain. It’s unsettling to feel like the foundation you built your life on is shifting beneath you.
You want clarity. A sense of ease in your own skin. The freedom to define your life on your own terms. But right now, it feels messy, complicated, and isolating.
When You’ve Been Told Who You Should Be, It’s Hard to Know Who You Are
So many of the beliefs you hold about yourself didn’t start with you. They were shaped by family, culture, religion, or society—often in ways you didn’t even realize. Messages about how to be a “good” daughter, partner, or woman. Expectations about how to look, behave, and move through the world. Ideas about success, love, and belonging that you thought were your own, but now… you’re not so sure.
If you’re feeling lost, conflicted, or disconnected from yourself, you don’t have to figure this out by yourself. You might relate to:
Feeling like you’ve outgrown the life you built but not knowing what comes next.
Struggling with questions around gender, sexuality, or self-expression.
Feeling pressure to conform to traditional roles but wanting something different.
Grappling with the impact of family, culture, or religion on your sense of self.
Navigating big transitions—divorce, career shifts, aging, or becoming a parent.
Reevaluating long-held beliefs about love, relationships, and success.
It’s not just about making a decision—it’s about giving yourself permission to explore who you are and what you want without shame, guilt, or the weight of external expectations.
Therapy Can Help You Reclaim Yourself
Therapy isn’t about handing you a set of answers—it’s about creating space to ask the right questions.
We’ll explore what’s yours versus what was placed on you. We’ll untangle the narratives that have shaped your identity, relationships, and choices. And we’ll work toward a version of your life that actually feels like yours.
In therapy, you can:
Clarify your identity and values without pressure to fit into a mold.
Work through life transitions in a way that honors who you’re becoming.
Unpack the impact of family, culture, and society on your sense of self.
Explore your sexuality or gender identity with curiosity and self-compassion.
Let go of outdated expectations about who you “should” be.
You don’t need to reinvent yourself to meet another set of expectations—I’ll help you strip away what was never truly yours so you can step into who you’ve always been.
Why Work With Me?
I take a feminist, intersectional approach to therapy—one that acknowledges the real-world pressures, social conditioning, and systemic forces that shape women’s lives. I’m not about “fixing” you. I’m about understanding the larger context of your struggles and helping you build a life that feels aligned rather than forced.
I don’t offer empty empowerment slogans or self-love clichés. Instead, I focus on helping you make meaningful shifts—ones rooted in your values, agency, and authentic self-expression.
If you feel like you’re unraveling, that might not be a bad thing. It might be the beginning of something real.
Ready to Step Into What’s Next?
You don’t have to figure this out alone. Therapy is a space where you can question, explore, and redefine what your life looks like—without judgment, pressure, or expectations.
