“anxiety, depression, grief, substance abuse, mood disorders”

“I work with clients who are facing a variety of challenging life experiences, including grief & loss, anxiety, depression, major life changes, and relationship issues — all through the lens of being highly sensitive. I often find that single women, people from the LGBTQ+ community, and fellow therapists/helpers/healers are drawn to work with me.”

“As we work together, we'll focus on understanding what happened, making sense of where you are now, and figuring out where you want to go from here. I specialize in working with adults navigating trauma-related symptoms, mood disorders, depression, anxiety, and the complicated business of figuring out where you fit; and whether you even want to. And, fortunately, there is hope, and you don't have to figure it all out alone.”

“It’s hard to feel like you don’t have all the words to describe what is going on for you. And the vulnerability of pain, from whatever the emotional or physical source, can be disorienting. Especially when you are the one typically who holds it together. But instead of holding it together, you feel like you are all over the place. Your emotions. How you are responding to people. What you are trying to do to cope. You do not know exactly what you want or need, or even who you are sometimes. And it feels like you should have it more figured out by now. In fact, it is amid pain and uncertainty that growth most often occurs. Not when we are ready. Not when things feel settled. Right now. In all our messiness and contradictions. You’ve been trying to outrun the pain, outsmart it, or just ignore it. But when you meet with me, you will start to see that pain is not a space to escape, it’s a place to begin. And you will get the sense that I’ve been here before. Because I have. Personally, and professionally. And I am unafraid to join you in profound feelings of sadness and pain.”

“Folks I work with: individuals, couples, groups & families who are located in WA state (more locations soon!), all genders, ages 13+ (Note: I'll happily consider younger clients, too, just send me an email.) Communities I enjoy working with: LGBTQIA+ & BIPOC, neurodivergent folks, veterans, first responders, & healthcare workers, artists, musicians, & creatives, survivors of trauma & high-control systems (religious or otherwise), kink, polyamorous, and non-traditional relationships, caregivers and helping professionals, entrepreneurs and small business owners. Issues I enjoy working with: anxiety & depression, trauma & (C)PTSD, grief & loss, burnout, business & entrepreneurship, neurodivergence, identity shifts & life transitions, relationship stress, conflict, change, or growth.”

“Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and stretched thin are common experiences for the folks I work with. Many of my clients struggle with burnout, perfectionism, self-criticism, insomnia, relationship stress, or the sense that they're not quite "doing enough." Sometimes big transitions, like early parenthood, career shifts, or divorce are contributing to this, and sometimes it's just due to patterns folks have learned that were once helpful for surviving day to day, but aren't serving them anymore. The clients I work with often want to find relief from anxiety, depression, or OCD, but also improve their sense of balance in their lives, working toward creating sustainable change.”

“Dr. Dos Santos has a particular interest in clients with complex medical and mental health conditions and has pursued advanced training in addressing the mental health symptoms associated with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and Long COVID. Dr. Dos Santos has particular expertise in working with young adults who are transitioning to and managing the stresses of college and young adulthood as she provides strategies and techniques that lead to increased autonomy and independence as well as improved relationships with family, peers and partners. She has a strong background in treating anxiety and depression in adolescents and young adults.”

“I work primarily with adults seeking individual, couple, or family therapy. I focus my work on providing space for members of the Queer and Neurodivergent populations, as well as folks experiencing or interested in non-traditional relationship structures. I work well with folks who value honesty and humor in the therapy room. I tend to enjoy collaborating with my clients to explore topics related to identity, navigating complex relationships, and working through trauma that may be influencing our present day experience. I center my work on exploring how our patterns of behavior, emotions, and the stories we are carrying impact how we show up in our relationships and our beliefs about ourselves.”

“I work with adults who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about how to move forward. I support clients navigating trauma, substance use, anxiety, depression, co-occurring mental health concerns, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and complex experiences that can be difficult to make sense of. Together, we work toward greater understanding, connection, and meaningful change.”

“Many of my clients are navigating infertility, anxious or medically complex pregnancies, reproductive loss and grief, or the overwhelming emotions that can arise with the transition into parenthood. Family building doesn’t always unfold the way we imagined it would. When the path feels uncertain, heavy, or different than you expected, you don’t have to walk it alone. If you’re on a difficult path, I’m here to walk alongside you and to offer thoughtful support and guidance as you move forward.”
