Couples therapists in Kirkland, WA

As someone who suffers from anxiety, I understand how impactful therapy can be. If you are constantly in your own head, overthinking every decision, feeling anxious, or worrying about letting people down, I can help. You may be someone who looks like they have it together on the outside, but on the inside, you're overwhelmed and exhausted. You might struggle to say no and set boundaries or to stop the racing thoughts you have. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone - and it doesn't have to stay this way.

I believe healing happens best when compassion and laughter meet. In our work together, you'll find a space grounded in honesty, vulnerability, and genuine human connection-free of judgment, filled with support, and occasionally lightened by humor. My goal is to walk alongside you as you navigate challenges, deepen your relationships, and reconnect with what brings meaning to your life.

Hi, I'm Ben. Are you struggling? I'm listening. You can feel heard and accepted in a way that allows your own inner wisdom to grow from within. Then, old patterns and negative self-talk can be overcome by healthy thoughts, feelings, and habits. My approach includes listening with empathy, resolving trauma symptoms, guiding toward solution, and being supportive of your relationship success. You can request a more passive or structured approach anytime. I specialize in helping you with loss, self-improvement, and life transitions. I also have a fun and unique way of working with children and teens. Evening appointments are available.
