Relational therapy for adults in Washington

Hi, I’m Tamryn, an intern therapist in Bellevue, Washington.

Many people come to therapy feeling unsettled, stuck, or disconnected, without a clear diagnosis or label. You might sense that something from earlier in life is still shaping how you relate, cope, or feel about yourself today.

You don’t have to know exactly what’s wrong

Who this work tends to support

I work primarily with adults who carry early relational experiences into their present lives, often showing up as anxiety, self-doubt, difficulty trusting, or a sense of longing. Many are thoughtful, capable people who have tried to understand themselves, yet still feel something is missing.

If you’re not sure whether your experiences “count,” that uncertainty itself often belongs here.

But how do I go about choosing a therapist? There are so many to choose from and it feels too overwhelming to decide on one. Some ideas…

I currently offer 55-minute psychotherapy sessions at CoHear in Bellevue, as an intern therapist. This means I am able to offer a lower rate.
I work with individuals and couples, and adults of all ages. Let’s schedule a free 15-minute consult to see if we might work well together.

My approach

I believe we are all shaped by our early relationships, and that the patterns formed in these relationships influence emotional regulation, self-perception, and interpersonal dynamics throughout life. Because of this, I find it crucial that you feel safe in your process of self-exploration through a secure and meaningful therapeutic bond. I believe that over time this bond can create an internal sense of security and well-being outside of therapy.
