Therapists in 97212
My ideal client is someone who is ready to engage in reclaiming their personal power. Therapy is just as much about unlearning, as it is learning. I enjoy working with folks who have a history of "people pleasing" and who have experienced emotional abuse. In particular I enjoy working with those who have experienced narcissistic abuse, and are looking to come back into contact with feeling grounded in their own reality again.

Trauma can shape how you relate to yourself, your body, and the people you care about-often in ways that don't feel obvious at first. If you've done years of therapy but still feel stuck, overwhelmed, or fragmented inside, you're not broken. Your nervous system learned what it needed to survive.
I specialize in working with adults who have experienced developmental trauma, relational trauma, and dissociation. My approach is thoughtful, paced, and collaborative, with an emphasis on safety, curiosity and helping your system regain choice and coherence.

Now accepting new clients - If you’re reading this, it probably means that something is shifting inside you. You are ready for things to be different. How did you end up here? People have told you you’re smart, destined for success, “so much potential,” and yet you often find yourself feeling down, anxious, moody, overwhelmed, or stuck. You feel immobilized, unable to reach your goals or even to totally know what your goals are anymore. You think - why can’t I just get it together? It all feels so complicated, so opaque that you don’t even know where to start.

My approach to counseling is to create a safe space for you and your family to build hope. We will work to raise awareness around the emotions that so often drive our behaviors. As emotional awareness increases we can choose different responses. Rather than the instantaneous reactions that plague many of us, we will be able to respond intentionally and thoughtfully. As we come to understand the emotional basis of our reactions, and choose to change our responses, we can break negative patterns of behavior with our partners, family, children, colleagues, and other people in our lives.

You’ve mastered adaptation and performance. Now it’s time to reclaim your authentic self and your highest potential. I help clients on their healing journey to Self using somatic-based Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, and Hypnotherapy. Together, we can transform anxiety, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and over-thinking into clarity, confidence, and intentional action. Maybe you've done talk therapy and understand your trauma well, but you're still stuck. Healing happens from your nervous system, not your intellect. I will give you the tools to operate from grounded authenticity rather than survival mode.

Finding a therapist can be a difficult task; actually calling one is even harder. When I am struggling with something I find myself irritable, directionless, and without energy (or too much nervous energy) a difficult time to build new relationships. It is my hope that stepping into my office might feel like finding an oasis; a welcoming place where you can put down your burdens, relax, and see what you can unpack or unload. I engage with people with acceptance and curiosity. I find things I like and inspiration in conversations. I am constantly amazed by people’s creativity, perspective, and desire to connect in a personal ways.

It happens to everyone at some point, but still there is no way to fully prepare for it. The unthinkable. The potential loss you never want to acknowledge. The loss that never even crossed your mind as a possibility. And you find yourself completely side-swiped by unrelenting grief. Waves of depression, shock, anger, and sheer pain wash over your life leaving you feeling unstable, out of control, and many times misunderstood by those closest to you. You need someone to talk to who really understands the impact of grief and hard transitions, and gives you permission to speak and feel anything and everything you are experiencing.

Grief is involved in any life change, whether that change is welcome or unwelcome, abrupt or expected. Grief is part of being human, yet our society struggles to acknowledge and support it. You might arrive grieving the death of a family member or friend, the end of a relationship, or even anxiety or depression that only seems to grow. Perhaps you are grieving previous life events you wish had never happened, or the life you lived before the pandemic. My expertise is in providing a place for your grief to land—a place for you to not have to be ok. And in doing this, I help people process grief so it does not define their lives.
