Finding a good fit with a therapist can sometimes feel overwhelming when there are so many options to choose from. Reaching out is a huge step in navigating towards something different. You might be feeling stuck in familiar patterns or cycles that aren’t allowing you to live into your deeper desires. I believe that the relationship we co-create has the potential to bring a lot of breakthrough to these intimate aspects of life that can often get neglected and be hidden in nature. I look at each client as a whole person taking into consideration their body, soul and mind awareness.

I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, grief, and the impact of trauma in their everyday lives. We are taught to disconnect from our bodies, and this can leave us anxious, numb, depressed, or unsure of our current direction. In working together, we can learn to listen to what is at the root of these feelings, care for the needs that are found there, and become more connected, whole-hearted beings. I am particularly passionate about seeking to understand sexual trauma, attachment/relationship issues, as well as general life anxiety and perfectionism.

To quote Søren Kierkegaard, "The most common form of despair is not being who you are." Traumatic and painful experiences can leave one feeling broken, small, disoriented, without words, stagnant and isolated. It can be hard to ask for help, but you might be relieved to know that psychotherapy is not about pinpointing or exploiting what's wrong with you. It is about becoming who you really are. We all need safe spaces to breathe, think, feel, express, move and be seen; to begin forming language around our experiences and to find reconnection and integration to and between our emotional, cognitive and physical bodies.

I am a Christian therapist trained in the interpersonal/relational psychoanalytic theory. I've also engaged both object relational and cognitive behavioral theories through varied clinical experiences. I've mostly trained under Dan Allender. I am trained well to serve clients that desire to face issues of sexual abuse/trauma, narrative, and relational dynamics within relationships. I'm also able to help clients think through potential cultural issues that can also have impact on ones dealing with issues of abuse, story, and relationship.

I strongly believe that not every therapist is a good fit for every person, just as not every person is a good fit for every therapist. For the sake of my client, I choose only to work with people when there is mutual agreement that we are a good fit for each other.

Our subconscious mind holds the memories and perceptions of every experience from childhood to adulthood. And as we continue our journey, the unresolved past continues to negatively affect our bodies, influence our thoughts, behaviors and everyday life on an unconscious level. We may not understand why we feel or react as we do to certain situations or why the same patterns show up every time and unexplained symptoms and/or circumstances keep repeating themselves. Often this prevents us from moving forward with our lives, achieve clarity and authenticity.

Child sexual abuse is the deliberate exposure of a minor child to sexual activity that the child cannot comprehend or consent to. This means a child is forced or talked into sex or sexual activities by another person. This behavior includes acts such as inappropriate touching of a child's breasts or genitalia, someone exposing their genitalia to a child, fondling, oral-genital contact, genital and anal intercourse, as well as exhibitionism, voyeurism, and exposure to pornography.

If you're looking for a therapist that has treated clients who've experienced sexual abuse in Seattle or for Seattle sexual abuse counseling, these professionals provide confidential support for individuals in an abusive relationship. They include sexual abuse therapists, sexual abuse psychologists and sexual abuse counselors. Therapists can help with child abuse in Seattle and sexual violence in Seattle.
