Please note: Therapy sessions with Rosa are offered in-person or through telehealth on Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays, and Fridays are only over telehealth.

Many people come to me when their relationship feels strained — whether from constant miscommunication, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, or big life changes like welcoming a new baby or navigating loss. They want to feel more connected, supported, and understood. I offer both in-person counseling in Seattle and online therapy across Washington State, so you can choose the format that works best for you.

Rosa’s Specialty Areas:

• Couples therapy, marriage counseling, premarital therapy, and dating support
• Communication, emotional connection, rebuilding trust, and deepening intimacy
• Relationship stress linked to life transitions — new baby, parenting changes, or blended family dynamics
• Sex therapy, intimacy concerns, and sexual identity exploration
• Cross-cultural couples and adult children of immigrants
• Grief, loss, trauma, and emotional overwhelm
• Anxiety and depression impacting relationships and daily life

Professional Credentials:

• Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate (LMFTA), Washington State
• Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy
• Certified Prepare / Enrich Facilitator
• Group facilitator, author, and speaker
• Member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) and Washington Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (WAMFT)

As a Certified Prepare / Enrich Facilitator, I give couples practical tools to communicate clearly, resolve conflict without losing connection, and build a relationship that feels sturdy even during hard times. I’ve also led quarterly couples workshops for years, creating spaces where partners can practice new skills and leave feeling more like a team.

I work with couples at every stage — from those preparing for marriage to long-term partners trying to rebuild closeness. Whether you’re navigating intimacy challenges, parenting stress, or the complexity of cross-cultural relationships, I’ll help you untangle patterns that keep you stuck and create new ways forward. My therapeutic style is grounded in Family Systems Theory, Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), supported by training in the Prepare / Enrich curriculum, Play Therapy for grief (through the Atlas Institute), and Esther Perel’s Turning Conflict Into Connection.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 20 years leading community development initiatives and supporting families through challenging transitions. I’m also the author of two books: the young adult novel The Monster In My Room, which explores themes of childhood trauma and healing, and the children’s book Tot’s Big House, which highlights courage, family connection, and resilience. My upcoming book on romantic relationships is set to release in 2025.

As a therapist, my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, valued, and understood. Together, we’ll clarify what you’re experiencing, why it’s happening, and how to move forward with greater purpose and self-trust. You deserve a treatment plan that reflects your strengths, values, and goals — and one that you help shape every step of the way. I am also excited to explore and embrace the spiritual and religious parts of your story that matter to you.

Outside the therapy room, quality time is my love language. I find joy in yoga, movies, beach days, karaoke, long walks, game nights, and travel — always making space for connection and self-reflection.
