“I specialize in art and trauma therapy with adults who want to connect their healing journey to breaking cycles of oppression. I help motivated adults who are struggling with their self-worth, have pattern of overriding their own needs and avoid feeling their feelings all while trying to break generational cycles. You want to make intentional changes that bring more joy, ease, and meaning but don't know where to start. Maybe you've learned to disconnect from your feelings and disregard your own needs filling everyone's cup but your own. Let's integrate your healing journey with anti-oppressive practices. Whether you're seeking support for depression, anxiety, grief, traumas, or just the everyday overwhelm of life, there's a vital role in connecting how oppressive systems impact you as an individual and as a part of the collective. Unlearning allows for healing, connection, & re-imaging.”

“I’m a marriage and family therapist who works through a systemic and attachment-based lens, exploring how past and present relationships shape how we experience ourselves and others. Early emotional environments teach us ways to cope and connect, but those strategies aren’t always sustainable. Therapy offers a space to explore and reshape those patterns. I specialize in working with couples and new parents navigating disconnection, communication challenges, and identity shifts. I also support individuals, adolescents, children, and families in learning to move through emotions rather than around them, building confidence, resilience, and secure connections.”

“I primarily work with individuals and family members of individuals with a substance use/misuse concern as well as those facing other challenges such as other anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and daily stressors.”

“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.”

“I help high-achieving women who are stressed, overwhelmed, or burnt out. My clients are typically navigating anxiety, life changes, career challenges, relationship problems, depression, maternal mental health, or BIPOC concerns. As a BIPOC woman, I am focused on culturally competent care for those I serve.”

“At Alafiora, Dr. Lapite-Garrett works with clients where everything feels out of control, and these individuals can see themselves moving toward the edge but cannot stop. For some, this has meant slipping out of the office to meet an escort, initiating sexual contact with a colleague or subordinate they know could cost them everything, or spending thousands on escorts and sex dolls with relief that lasts less each time. For others, it has meant a consuming, one-sided devotion to someone who may barely register their existence, a person who has gone silent while the longing only intensifies. Some have stopped engaging with people altogether, bonded to an AI companion that requires nothing and cannot leave, finding real human contact unbearable by comparison. Others are caught in trauma reenactment, pulled into situations that mirror what was done to them, not by choice but by a nervous system that has learned to find danger familiar. Alafiora specializes in working with these individuals and in helping them slowly, meaningfully begin to press the brakes.”

“Life can feel heavy, especially when you're carrying so much for everyone else. On the outside, you may seem capable and steady. But internally, you might feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of yourself. Maybe you're in a season of transition of becoming a parent, navigating relationship changes, shifting careers, or quietly questioning who you are now. The roles that once felt clear might feel unfamiliar, leaving you wondering where you fit in all of it.”

“Even if you seem to have it all together, relationships can feel heavy and confusing at times. Maybe you stay quiet to avoid conflict, replay conversations in your head, or worry you’re too much. Or maybe you find yourself becoming tearful and frustrated when you try to talk about how you feel. You might analyze all the little things your partner says and does because you need to make sure things are okay between you. You want closeness, but you also feel uneasy.”

“I work with individuals, couples and families who are ready for something to change but may not know how to get there. You may be overwhelmed, overthinking, struggling in your relationship, carrying the impact of past experiences, or finding yourself repeating patterns you promised yourself you wouldn't repeat. Many individuals function well on the outside but feel stuck, exhausted, disconnected, or unsure of themselves underneath it all. Some have been in therapy before and understand the problem but still need help actually changing it. I work with individuals who want therapy to be active and purposeful. We'll look beneath the surface, identify what's keeping you stuck, and work toward healthier ways of thinking, responding, communicating, and relating. You won't just have a place to talk, you'll have a place to understand, learn, practice, and make changes you can carry into your everyday life.”
