I believe therapy is the process of getting to know and like yourself better. By looking inward, we discover how we support or undermine ourselves with thoughts, feelings, habitual body patterns and behaviors born out of pain and trauma. We start to distinguish our authentic self from who we think we need to be. When we have more information about ourself and more freedom to be authentic, we can then begin to make changes to better support ourself and create a life that is fulfilling.

As your therapist, I’ll walk alongside you in cultivating self-compassion, curiosity, and the courage to face life’s challenges. No two people are alike, so our work will be collaborative and tailored to your needs, history, and goals. My style is warm, grounded, and authentic, creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. I draw from trauma-informed, feminist, humanistic, psychoanalytic, relational, and existential perspectives to explore both the deeper roots of struggle and the possibilities for growth—with openness, curiosity, and meaningful, lasting change at the center.

On our journey it can be helpful to have someone to help us read the narratives which often define our lives. Some of those narratives keep us from experiencing what we want for ourselves now and in the future. Since graduating with a Masters in Counseling Psychology from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology in 2010, I have been working as a therapist with people in various stages of life. A relationship between a therapist and client can provide someone with a deep reflection of how they live and are experienced. I believe therapy can give us the opportunity to rediscover our story in a new way. Real change is possible.

Therapy should be a collaborative approach, where you’re supported in defining and living your most authentic life. What does it mean to be liberated from the roles we've been forced into for survival and to embrace every part of ourselves? Let's work together to find your path and make your life what you always hoped it would be.

I draw from ACT, somatic practices, mindfulness, and humanistic & transpersonal psychology.
The weight of trauma, loss, or change isn’t something you have to carry alone. A nervous system on edge, bracing for impact. A loss that lingers. Not feeling like yourself. Chronic pain or thoughts that won’t quiet. Together, we slow down and safely make contact with what’s here. Our partnership is rooted in creating safety, expanding self-compassion, and supporting your unique neurobiology and experiences. With a specialization in Art Therapy, we may engage in art-making as a grounding tool and also as an embodied process that can create a visceral shift in how we see and process experience.

I am a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience providing care from a relational perspective. Working from a relational analytic/interpersonal approach implies many different things, but perhaps the most central is that the nature of the treatment I provide will always depend on your needs, and typically only become apparent after a nonjudgmental and deeply collaborative exploration of your experience. Put simply, I assume that successful treatment requires me coming to understand your experience and value commitments in a deeply nuanced fashion, as opposed to applying generic treatment strategies.

You’ve likely spent years trying to understand yourself. Staying up late analyzing your emotions, researching trauma, replaying conversations, and trying to figure out why you feel anxious, fearful, and overstimulated. Perhaps you’ve even read the popular books, listened to the podcasts, and you still feel lost. Despite all of that awareness, something still feels unresolved. Insight alone often doesn’t lead to peace and ease. Rewiring beliefs and experiences using a mind-body approach can help. Often, when we teach the body how to have a different physical response to our experiences and our stressors, we reconnect with ease.

Transpersonal Therapists
How does transpersonal therapy work?
Transpersonal therapy focuses on a patient’s spirituality and meaning in life. Transpersonal therapists might borrow from Eastern traditions as well as Western psychology. They may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualization, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork to produce altered states of consciousness. The therapist helps the patient to access their consciousness and spirituality to work through difficult mental states.
How long does transpersonal therapy last?
Because the goal is to understand a person as a whole, including their spirituality, treatment can range from months to a year or beyond. While patients learn the philosophy behind transpersonal therapy during treatment, they can also practice its principles throughout life after therapy sessions have ended.
Is transpersonal therapy effective?
Patients have found success with transpersonal therapy; this method is useful in improving anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, fears, relationship problems, and other concerns. Improvements in problem areas can continue even after transpersonal therapy ends, as individuals can utilize the tools they’ve learned during treatment sessions.
What are the limitations of transpersonal therapy?
There is some research on the effectiveness of transpersonal therapy, but empirical support for this therapy approach is sparse. It does not have the robust evidence base of other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy.
