Currently Accepting New Clients In-Person In Downtown Seattle. Have you felt overwhelmed by recent events, and caught in a tension between having, wanting and fearing impending loss. Have you lost dimensions of your world, and struggle to find yourself in the unfamiliar space that remains? Where does your attention shift to? Is there a lack of community or beauty to turn to, and to focus on? Therapy can never replace these things, but together, we can make a space for the hope and possibility of new relational worlds to return, and we can notice paths toward ways of cultivating the life you are meant for. A life of growth and wonder

As a therapist, I try to share the awe I feel at the way rigid and gentle aspects intertwine. I draw on my education in the existential approach, somatic wisdom from my past as an athlete, and my artistic practices writing, woodworking and creating clothing.

I welcome your questions, and hope that if you are looking for deeper connections in your life, that you will reach out so we can talk. I know finding a therapist can be difficult so I appreciate your effort to make it this far and look forward to beginning our work together.

My approach is rooted in the existential tradition. What does that mean? It's about your relationship to yourself, and our therapeutic relationship to each other. Existentialism brings us back to the central and ongoing questions of your life as the root for understanding our relationships. What are the guiding questions of your existence?
