Specialized Couples Counseling in Washington State -
I look forward to meeting you!
It’s time to stop the loop and start truly moving forward.
Scroll for information about my approach, training and education as well as testimonials and FAQs.
Hi! I’m Isabelle, I founded Break Free Therapy to help with the messy, beautiful, and sometimes agonizing work of human connection. With over a decade of experience helping couples when they needed it the most, I am here to guide you into the next chapter of your relationship.
Here, we look at the whole "system", your identity and your experience living in your day-to-day life.
You are not a set of symptoms, you are a whole person.
Our approach is built on a simple belief:
Love is more than a feeling; it’s a promise, one that requires real skills and sometimes, some truly deep work.
Breaking cycles is not only the bravest work you will ever do, it is a huge part of building and maintaining love that lasts.
Education and Training:
I spent over a decade working in the postpartum space, supporting my clients in their transition from couples to parents.
In my graduate and post-graduate work, I leaned in further, taking on mental health training that covered everything from TTC, to peripartum, to infant mental health. I did deep research into attachment throughout the lifespan as part of my doctoral thesis.
The love that fills our lives has always been my focus.
In my work from postpartum doula services to selecting my graduate program to developing this practice and the Break Free Method, quality has always been the top priority.
All of us here are graduates of COAMFTE-accredited programs (the gold standard for relational and systemic therapy training) which means we hit the ground running, studying directly under nationally renowned clinicians who were directly trained by the founders of models used throughout the field.
Who is a good fit for working with me?
Busy couples who know they need a specialist who understands the trials they are going through as well as a clear set of pathways out of the struggle.
Whether you are struggling to communicate with your partner or trying to ensure you don't pass down the same traumas you grew up with, we provide the space and expertise to help propel you forward.

Specialized, high-impact psychotherapy designed for lasting transformation:
Couples & Relational Therapy: Working together, we will de-escalate the conflict, heal deep attachment injuries, and restore secure attachment and rebuild intimacy with evidence-based high impact therapy (EFT, IFS, etc). This is the path to moving out of constant survival mode and building a resilient, deeply connected partnership that actually feels like home delivered in a dynamic, conversational format with maximum efficacy (my clients currently boast a 96% successful reconnection rate and a 99% satisfaction rate with the choice to separate when it comes to that).
Individual Psychotherapy: Depth-oriented therapy for busy adults who are ready to break generational cycles, drop the emotional weight they have carried for years, and achieve sustainable change. We skip the passive nod-along listening to deliver active, bespoke care tailored specifically to maximize your time, energy, and financial investment.
Parts Work & Narrative Integration: Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Narrative Therapy to align your internal world and rewrite any limiting narratives. This is essential if you find yourself chronically wrestling with inner conflict, battle an unrelenting inner critic, or feel like different parts of you are constantly pulling your life in opposite directions.
Flexible, High-Touch Delivery: Seamless, confidential online therapy across Washington State, alongside dedicated in-person sessions in Federal Way. You receive premium, adaptable care structured intentionally around your demanding schedule and privacy needs without compromising clinical depth.

I take this so seriously.
That is what Break Free Therapy is built on, caring as if it was my dearest loved one getting the care.
Therapy with me is not about nodding politely or offering generic surface-level advice. The Break Free Method combines advanced relational frameworks (EFT, IFS, and systemic theory) with grounded, real-world insight and wrap around care from automated superbills to after-hours administrative support.
Here, you get an active, engaged collaborator who helps you identify root causes, understand emotional triggers in real time, and create lasting relational transformation rather than temporary band-aids.
Going beyond the therapy room, I purposefully limit my caseload. Not only so I can remember your childhood dog’s name but so I can reserve time on my calendar to take on-demand and live trainings directly related to your case.
You are not just getting the hour to two hours you reserve, you are getting hours more of specialized trainings, reflection and consultation with industry excellence.

Working with me is warm, collaborative, and focused on meaningful change.
Personally, I am an over-achiever and a total goofball. The good news is that makes for therapy that is enjoyable in addition to being effective.
We will not just analyze what is wrong; we will actively map your emotional world, challenge self-limiting beliefs with compassion, and build the practical and emotional tools you need to feel grounded and connected.
Your New Ending Starts With a Specialized Strategy
You are in the right place, not for a passive listener, you need a dynamic specialist with a strategy to end the cycles that leave you depleted. Are you:
Looking to rekindle a relationship that once sparkled
Exploring how generational patterns affect your present
Ready to heal, grow, and create a new path forward
At Break Free Therapy, we provide direct clinical intervention for high functioning couples.
With years of experience and thousands of hours of specialized training, you are in great hands.
Here, we bring a unique combination of empathy, clinical insight, and efficiency to every session. Using models like EFT and IFS, we perform the specific work required to break negative cycles.
We prioritize genuine results and deep transformation with evidence-based practice. The Break Free Method is designed to help you move past surface challenges and build the meaningful, secure connection you actually desire by combining the gold-standard of clinical care with wrap-around support beyond the limits set by agencies that overload their clinicians (limiting the quality of your care), limits set by insurance companies (who require in-network clinicians to justify your need for stabilization-not encouraging work towards truly thriving all while requiring access to your treatment information), and limits set by solo-practices that lack wrap-around administrative support, a dedicated billing specialist and so on.
Stop settling for a life that looks good on the outside but feels empty on the inside.
Schedule your intake today to begin the process of breaking free from the patterns that no longer serve you.
