Are you ready to begin making significant changes in your life? A trained professional can help stand by and guide you; you're not alone. I typically treat depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, adjustment, and relationship issues, but I was educated to work with a broad spectrum of mental health issues. During my training, I received specialized clinical experiences for working with survivors of traumatic events, have felt marginalized by society or their family systems due to their identities, career issues, relationship problems (e.g., loneliness, insecurity, preoccupation, attachment, etc.), and issues with body image and eating.

I am a licensed couples and family therapist and have worked in private practice and agency settings for more than 15 years. I provide therapeutic support to couples, families, and individual adults out of my office in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood. Your comfort level with and relationship to your therapist is a primary factor in the success of your therapy, so after you've had a chance to review my information, I invite you to give me a call to see if we'd be a good fit.

Hope, possibility, insight, change; these are the gifts therapy can offer. Because anxiety, sadness and fear are part of what it means to be human, I feel it is essential to find meaning in our challenges. There is strength in understanding. I believe we all have the seeds of healing within us and my role in this process is to listen carefully and to provide feedback and support along the way. I respect your unique perspective and your gifts.

I work with adolescents and adults facing a wide range of challenges and life experiences including anxiety, depression, and life transitions. In our work together, we’ll explore your unique story, strengths, and the social and systemic factors that may be impacting your mental health.
It can be intimidating to reach out for support especially if you're already feeling anxious or overwhelmed. I'm here to talk and spend time on what you are carrying whether it be navigating a big life change, trying to make sense of who you are and where you’re going or anything else that may be weighing you down.

You should feel seen, heard and understood. You should never feel judged, and you should always feel welcome. If you choose to spend your time with me, that is what you can expect in therapy. Therapy is at your pace, and it starts with us building a relationship. I listen to your story, get to know you and your goals and learn how to best support you. Together, we look at who you are, what you believe and how you cope with challenges to determine a treatment plan that is right for you.

Many of my clients look successful on the outside but feel stuck. They find themselves overthinking, people-pleasing, and questioning their worth. Many grew up with a parent who was critical or emotionally immature, and now struggle with boundaries, self-trust, and anxiety in relationships. Others are navigating the impact of a more recent event like a difficult breakup, accident, illness, or loss that they just can’t seem to move past. Longing to address these issues, my clients are seeking insight, healing, and empowerment.

Life can toss us around, leaving us feeling confused, hurt, overwhelmed and not knowing how to pick up the pieces. I help people recover from these hurts so they don't leave you feeling broken forever.
Sometimes this happens after a breakup you didn't see coming, or when you realize the relationship you're in isn't healthy, when you're just tired of being lonely, or when the baby arrived and you're not feeling like yourself, or if you are in a relationship but you've noticed a disconnection and that despite your best efforts you haven' been able to understand teach other.
If this is you, reach out. I'd be honored to walk with you.

My clinical approach is largely psychodynamic with existential and humanistic elements. Some of my clinical interests include: adult developmental life transitions, the impact of chronic illness (on both the person with chronic illness and those caring for someone with chronic illness/ongoing health needs), and men's issues.

I specialize in issues of early childhood (ages 0-5) and perinatal (pregnancy and postpartum) mental health, working with young children and their parents who are in need of support. Parenting is a big life transition and unfortunately rarely goes as planned. Birth trauma, illness, separation or loss of a caregiver or parent, interpersonal conflict, accidents, developmental delays such as ASD or FASD and other stressors can further complicate the already very difficult job of being a parent. That's where I come in! I'm here to help you and your child connect and heal through the unexpected challenges that life has thrown your way.

I want to understand the struggles you’ve had in your life: how you’ve been hurt, how you’ve gained strength and coping abilities, and what your journey has been in becoming the person that you are. I want to know how your coping habits are working in your current life situations; to strengthen those that are serving you well, and to help you shift negative patterns that are blocking you from getting what you need from your life and relationships. I want to help you increase your self-understanding, and to help you feel empowered to make conscious choices that serve the highest direction for your life.

If you keep having the same argument, you’re not alone—and your relationship is probably not broken. Most couples I see still care deeply about each other. They’re simply stuck in a cycle where one partner pushes, and the other shuts down, and the same fight keeps repeating. My role is to help couples interrupt that pattern, stabilize communication, and create a way forward before frustration turns into distance.

I am a marriage and family therapist who helps couples, families, and individual adults, navigate through challenging transitions in life. My work is focused on helping people get unstuck from unhelpful patterns in themselves and in their primary relationships, and in amplifying their strengths and resiliency.

Something isn't working in your relationship and you're not sure what the solution is. Maybe it's arguments about anything and everything, the aftermath of infidelity, or a growing disconnection. Most of us aren't taught how to navigate adult relationships which can leave us floundering trying to get it right. While this can feel hopeless at times, I deeply believe in our ability to learn, grow, connect, and change. Together, we start with organizing what you're experiencing, we deepen our understanding of it, and ultimately we begin to walk toward a more peaceful, empowered, and authentic life.

I began my career working at a bank on Wall Street and spent over a decade in corporate finance and strategy — I understand work stress and managing how we are perceived by others. I know it can be hard to find a sense of purpose and direction in life. I strive to help you embrace challenges as part of life, approach yourself without judgement, and uncover the values necessary to chart a path forward.

Holistic and embodied existential therapy for trauma recovery and life transitions. Rather than diagnosing and prescribing, I offer a uniquely individual and empowering experience. Many of my clients struggle with feeling fragmented, overwhelmed, dissociated, or misunderstood. Healing happens through curiosity, compassion, and trusting connection - with yourself, others, and the natural world. I help clients transform suffering and self-alienation through parts work (IFS), somatic & nature therapy, mindfulness, and depth psychology. This goes beyond symptom management to address the root cause, inviting greater wholeness within.

Often, beginning is the hardest part. Maybe you’re struggling with parenting or your relationships, recovering from trauma, or have experienced a transition that is weighing heavily. I am really glad you’re here. I work well with clients who come as they are and who are up for the process, even if it’s scary or unknown. You might laugh or cry (or do both simultaneously) in therapy. I’ll make sure we have enough Kleenex and we will proceed at your pace. I commit to being fully present in our sessions, to caring about your story and about you as a human, and to walking alongside you toward your goals.

I was drawn to practice therapy out of a desire to honor the inherent worthiness of people, provide empathy and space for our shared human vulnerabilities and to give encouragement in the process of finding wholeness. I am a licensed social worker and have been working in the mental health field since 2007 in a variety of settings including shelter, emergency, and clinical practices while gaining experience in multiple therapeutic approaches and with a diverse clientele. I have been described as warm, engaged and compassionate; it is my highest priority to create a space that is safe, trusting, and nurturing.
