My goal is to help you step into your life more fully, in a way that is both authentic and resourced. Using the body, values, dreams and imagination as guides, we can work together to cultivate the ability to accept what is, with an eye toward building a life full of meaning and purpose. This work is experiential, meaning we don't just talk about what's happening, we get into contact with it, with safety and support. We also may draw on your own cultural and/or spiritual practices as you wish or see fit.
Compassionate, body-inclusive therapy anywhere in Washington State, from the comfort of your home.
The therapy I offer is from a weight-inclusive perspective, is trauma-informed and from an anti-oppression lens. I am passionate about providing a safe space for you to explore who you are, and who you want to become, while helping you learn how to tune into your own internal resourcing and inner-knowing.
Our work together is not about simply giving you coping skills (though these are helpful at times!). Rather, it is a type of relationship between us, and a perspective you build through that relationship, which opens you up to new ways of being in the world (and with yourself); ways that are more workable and values-aligned.

My theoretical orientation is Integrated. I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with Focusing Oriented Psychotherapy. ACT is often considered a "third wave" Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; Focusing Oriented Psychotherapy is part of the experiential, person-centered tradition. I also integrate relational and depth/psychodynamic approaches depending on your unique needs and goals.
