Teletherapy for Washington

I am a leader in somatic, body-mind psychotherapy and the expressive arts, including dance/movement therapy. Together, we co-create a space that values respect, honest connection, and communal support with a focus on your nervous system's response to stress. Relationships and our capacity to live in alignment with our core values are a top priority. My approach is always humanistic including multicultural, trauma-informed, and client-centered. I counsel while being a whole person myself, part of the holistic path of recovery that you might be seeking.

Updated 2/19/24: My clients have come to me experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, and many other presenting concerns. In therapy I strive to understand and clarify my clients' goals and help them work toward building insight around their concerns. You don't have to know exactly what your goals might be, and during our work you can always add or change goals. This is your treatment and my hope is that you take an active role in determining the direction and depth of the work that we do together. My hope is that we can end every session feeling that we have made progress.

Accepting New Clients in MAY 2024. Are you looking for a compassionate and socially conscious therapist who provides trauma-informed care? Then we might be a good fit to work together! Sometimes we need guidance to resolve our conflicts and difficulties. Talking through our thoughts and putting words to our deeply held emotions can give us a sense of relief, clarity, and direction. This is what I offer in therapy.

Being a human can be a struggle even in the best of times. For many of us, now is not the best of times, making support for your mental health and well-being more important than ever.

With warmth, humor, sincerity, and care, I strive to build a relationship with each of my clients that cultivates empowerment and deep compassion for self. I believe that change is possible for everyone and anyone when they have the right support.

“Loving ourselves through the process of owning our story is the bravest thing we will ever do” Brene Brown. My clients are those who are ready and willing to take ownership of their story in a way that feels authentic and empowering. This story ownership often involves self identity work, discovering or reclaiming values, setting boundaries/interpersonal work, learning how to both accept emotions and take action, self compassion, and learning to "come home" to yourself. Common issues I support are anxiety, depression, relationships, pregnancy and postpartum, life transitions, ADHD, perfectionism, and family of origin issues.

I am passionate about working with adults who might be feeling stuck or stagnant, finding themselves repeating old patterns, and just wanting to do things differently. I support people in finding a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. I enjoy working with adults of all identities, backgrounds, and orientations, including working with communities of color, adult children of immigrants/refugees, and individuals that identify with multicultural or multiracial.

In my approach to counseling, I listen attentively and non-judgmentally. I focus on people’s stories and the stories the world tells about them. I value these narratives, and hold them during our work together so that we may reference them in the process of creating a story that feels more in line with my clients goals and purpose. I also work with clients in exploring ways to alleviate suffering, reduce stress and increase self empowerment and enjoyment of one's life. My approach is strengths based and I believe we each have all the answers we need within us, sometimes we just need help teasing them out or trusting them.

I help individuals, families, and couples create or restore secure secure bonds in family and intimate relationships.

I am not currently accepting new clients. “The curious paradox is that when I accept myself as I am, then I change” (Carl Rogers). This is the work of therapy. I approach this work holistically, attending to how each of us is impacted by past and present relationships, and by systemic influences. My perspective is grounded in humanistic and attachment theories, and influenced by multicultural and feminist thinking, with an emphasis on counteracting oppression. Research has demonstrated that our bodies hold important information that contributes to healing, therefore I incorporate body-based techniques into therapy as well.
