I believe that the quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives. As a marriage and family therapist, I work with individuals and couples to create thriving and vibrant relationships with themselves and the important people in their lives. I bring years of experience working with couples and families and have a deep understanding of the complexity of adult relationships. My work is grounded in attachment theory which establishes that we are relational beings wired for connection and belonging. I am passionate about guiding individuals and couples toward relationship health, healing, and decision making, and when inevitable toward intentional uncoupling.

I bring ten years experience as a family law attorney and mediator to my therapeutic work. I help clients gain clarity about their relationship. I work with individuals and couples to revitalize a relationship that has become stale or disconnected by rebuilding emotional and physical intimacy. I am highly skilled in working with couples who are in the midst of a crisis and are on the brink of divorce. I offer healing, insight, reflection, rebuilding, and relationship skills.

I believe that the process of healing begins through authentic and vulnerable connection with another. My counseling orientation is informed by attachment theory and the relational psychodynamic therapeutic model, which looks at patterns of relating from early life up to the present. Additionally, working with Emotionally Focused Therapy provides an opportunity for couples to experience attachment and deeper emotional intimacy in their relationship.

Years ago I read Hold Me Tight, and it changed the way I look at love, attachment, and relationships. It ignited in me a curiosity and passion for learning more about attachment and helping others understand it better as well. I love helping couples work though disconnection and difficulty and be able to find and explore their relationship in different and better ways.

Trained in the advanced core skills of Emotionally Focused Therapy, Joseph's approach is rooted in assisting clients to become fully aware of unrecognized, unshared, connective primary emotions and reactive, disconnecting secondary emotions. He helps couples, men, and women cultivate greater awareness and acceptance of emotion. With empathic support he will help you develop the ability to communicate primary and secondary emotion in powerful ways that will foster increased intimacy with partners, spouses, and others.

Joseph is also an active member of King County Collaborative Law. He is experienced in helping individuals negotiate the difficult task of divorce.

According to Sue Johnson, strong loving relationships are increasingly correlated with individual physical and psychological health. I support clients in discovering how they contribute to their relationship dynamic. Once they understand how they cocreate their dance, I help them explore new ways of managing their emotions in connection with each other.

My husband and I work as a team to help couples grow together. As former high-tech and legal professionals, we understand how work demands can affect relationships. As parents, we get how children are a source of both joy and stress. As an intercultural couple, we recognize the challenges in bridging different world views.

Counseling can help you get unstuck, set goals, reduce anxiety and depression, take action to feel better, and help you have more control of your life. With a compassionate and supportive approach, I help people find real solutions to important issues in life, work, and relationships. I help people identify negative emotions and limiting beliefs and replace them with healthy coping skills and positive strategies to change their lives.

Through integrating current research in neurobiology and attachment, I help couples acknowledge, respect, and understand each other better. I help couples break negative patterns that undermine their relationships and find real tools for improving their communication and connection. Education and understanding of each partner's emotional regulation is an important part of the process. Conflict is a normal part of couple communication. Every couple has both a positive and negative communication cycle. Conflict intimacy is learned and an important part of growing together. When couples understand how their emotions, needs, and behaviors affect each other in the communication cycle, they learn how to maintain secure attachment and foster positive relationships.

Every person, couple, and family struggles from time to time. Sometimes it is hard to get through these rough patches alone. Having a compassionate and supportive individual attending to your concerns provides a safe environment to create positive change. As a marriage and family therapist who uses emotionally focused therapy, I am curious about interactions that are keeping you stuck in the uncomfortable and enthusiastic about conversations that begin to create understanding and new patterns of connection.

I focus on many aspects of being human including relationship issues, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, life events, transitions and specialize in sexual health and intimacy.

I also utilize narrative therapy, trauma-focused therapy, tantric and mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. I am a Certified Integrated Intimacy Professional (CIIP).

You and your partner are struggling right now, and maybe have been for a long time. Life's transitions such as retirement, marriage, or birth of a new child can make staying connected with your partner quite difficult at times. Or other challenges in your relationship can leave you with difficulty trusting and feeling alone or like roommates. You both are tired of being stressed, tired of all the yelling, tired of being tired. Going to therapy can be scary, but you won't be alone. With me, you and your partner will cry, laugh, and work hard together!

My practice is in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle at Meaningful Journey Counseling, and I focus on couples counseling and relationship issues for individuals. I hold a Master’s degree and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. My training in EFT and interpersonal process therapies influences my approach to working with both couples and individuals in a present-focused and validating manner.

Please contact me for a complimentary 15–20 minute phone consultation to see if we'd be a good fit.

You know the best thing you can give to your children is a healthy marriage, and yet getting along with your partner is one of the hardest things to do? I help couples feel close and connected in their relationship, so it's a win-win situation for everyone.

Just because you've been fighting like clockwork or living like roommates does not mean it has to stay that way. If you only have one shot at life, make it count.

Let's do this together. Give me a call today.

Please note that my practice is full, and I am no longer accepting new couples.

Since 1984, I have been a licensed psychologist practicing in the Pike Place Market area. I see individuals and couples for depression, anxiety, life transitions, and interpersonal problems.

My career changed about four years ago when I first heard Sue Johnson speak. She described the yearning that all people have to feel safely attached, to feel secure in the arms of the person they love. She described EFT and showed videos of the work. Her lecture changed my career. I have taken both levels of training and hope to become certified as an EFT therapist.

I have been challenged, excited and inspired by the EFT philosophy, practice and approach. It’s neither simplistic nor easy. But it is tender, nonjudgmental, and optimistic. When EFT works, important moments happen…and those moments can lead to lasting change.

I work with all kinds of couples, and I particularly love working with couples where illness or disability is a relationship issue. I am in my mid-40s and was raised in New York. I graduated from Antioch University Seattle in 2009, after a career change, and am engaged in ongoing advanced training and supervision in Emotionally Focused Therapy.

I am a bilingual (Spanish-English) psychotherapist who helps couples and individuals improve their communication and develop their potential, to grow as personally and in relationships. Through EFT I have found the framework to enable my clients to see where their relationship is trapped without blaming one person. We focus on how 'my behavior influences how you react, which at the same time influences how I respond to your response.'

I can help you adjust to major life changes (acculturation process, medical illness, separation, empty nest, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and more) and strengthen your ability to cope with adversity and regain peace. I am interested in the psychological, biological, social, and spiritual well-being of the person.

I am originally from Chile, where I studied and provided therapy for 4 years. I earned my master’s degree in marriage and family therapy and a certificate in medical family therapy at Seattle Pacific University.

A marriage and family therapist since 1981, I enjoy helping couples rebuild their relationships. I provide a safe atmosphere to understand each partner’s hurts, needs, and vulnerabilities. If you wish to increase intimacy, resolve conflict constructively, and explore dreams for your life together, call for a free half-hour phone consultation.

I am passionate about using Emotionally Focused Therapy in my work with individuals, couples, and families because of how I have found it to help clients get in touch with and powerfully express the deeper feelings and needs behind what has kept them stuck with themselves and others.
