My style as a therapist is laid-back but engaged — I’m not a blank wall. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a real relationship, grounded in trust, respect, and genuine care. I use a Person-Centered approach, which means I meet you where you are, without judgment, and with a deep belief in your ability to grow and heal.

Psychotherapy for Real People Living Real Lives

You’ve taken the first step, and that matters. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for a change, therapy can help you reconnect with your strength, clarity, and sense of self.

About Me


I’m a Seattle-based psychotherapist with over a decade of clinical experience and a lifelong passion for psychology, personal growth, and human connection. After a successful career in high-tech Training & Development, I returned to my roots in psychology to support individuals in navigating life’s complexities with confidence and authenticity.

My approach is grounded in Person-Centered Therapy, where you are met with unconditional positive regard in a space that’s affirming, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I tailor each session to fit your unique story and relational experience, because no two people — or journeys — are the same.




Chris Paton

I work with adults across the lifespan and welcome individuals from all backgrounds, identities, and relationship structures. I'm especially passionate about supporting members of the queer, LGBTQIA+, polyamorous, ethically non-monogamous, and kink communities. Whether you're facing anxiety, going through a life transition, exploring your identity, or simply looking for a space to feel truly heard — you're not alone. Together, we can explore what healing and self-discovery can look like for you.

 

I do write secondary letters for those seeking gender affirming surgeries. Because I consider this an essential service to the trans and gender diverse community, I do this at no cost to the client. I will bill insurance if you are insured, but if you are uninsured it will be free to you.

 

I see clients virtually, by appointment,  Monday through Thursday from 10am to 6pm.
