Note: I am currently able to accept clients for ketamine assisted therapy only. I am unable to accept new therapy clients and do not keep a waiting list. Welcome! I am a licensed psychologist providing therapy in West Seattle. I believe that our work should be collaborative and will consider your strengths and preferences to tailor therapy to meet your needs. My style is informed by a relational orientation with the integration of evidenced-based strategies, including trauma-informed, feminist, internal family systems and mindfulness. By being adaptive, I can support you in making changes that can lead to a more satisfying life.
I work with adolescents and adults around issues of identity development, life transition, interpersonal and complex trauma, developmental and behavioral challenges, learning disorders, and mood disorders (including anxiety and depression). I also work with clients who identify across the gender spectrum as well as clients with LGBTIA+ identities.
Working alongside a psychiatric prescriber, I provide ketamine assisted therapy for people who are experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, complex trauma, and burnout. This includes preparation sessions, in-person medicine sessions, and integration to help you to make and sustain meaningful change.

For therapy to be successful, the relationship between the therapist and client must feel supportive, and the style of therapy must be a "good fit" for the client. I draw from several different modalities depending on client's needs and preferences. We will collaborate to determine if we are a good fit to work together to address your concerns and challenges.
