I am a psychotherapist trained in systems theory. I have a master's degree in Applied Behavioral Science - Systems Counseling from the Leadership Institute of Seattle (LIOS) at Bastyr University. Systems counseling embraces each client as an individual living system. It examines how clients' memberships in other living systems (such as family, friends, co-workers, partnerships, etc.) interrelate, influence, and impact each other.

Let's face it, life can be stressful. That stress can become even more pronounced as you navigate new transitions like becoming an adult, moving to a new city, starting a new job, or leaving a relationship. Often times we have the answer but just need help sorting things out. Sometimes family and friends can be too close to help you identify your challenges. Sometimes THEY are the challenge. Working and trying to manage day-to-day responsibilities is no simple task. This is why I a firm believer in therapy.

Often the safest way we cope with the aftershock of childhood trauma and neglect is by creating a workable persona or "protector," fervently committed to keeping us safe by avoiding further emotional injury at any cost. As adults, daily challenges trigger our protective parts with anxiety-provoking situations that elicit reactive, shielding responses, and keep us stuck looping in repetitive cycles. While these protective defenses with their "never again" mantra have reliably sheltered our vulnerability in the past, today they function as painful reminders of lingering wounds and barriers to joyful, meaningful connection with others.

Hi! I'm glad you're here :) It's not easy to sift through profiles, trying to find a therapist who will be the right fit for you, but it will be worth it. If you think we'd be a good match, I'd love to help! Are you having a hard time getting societal beauty standards off of your "to-do" list? In a culture that seems hell bent on showing us what we should change about ourselves, it's hard to let it go. The inner critic gets loud, and we become so hard on ourselves for all sorts of everything. If you're looking for some self-love, a peaceful relationship with food and your body, or anxiety management, you've come to the right place.

Thanks for your interest in my profile. As a marriage and family therapist, I am specifically trained to see couples and families, but I very much enjoy working with individuals as well. Developing insight towards learning how to love others and be loved by others is the key to building healthy, connected relationships. If you are finding that you are struggling in maintaining or developing relationships with others, if you have experienced betrayal, or if you struggle to maintain connection with others, especially your partners, then I am the therapist you are looking for. I also enjoy working with a variety of individual issues.

Taking new clients. Therapy can help shift something within our control or change how we relate to things outside our control. This might look like understanding why we're repeating personal patterns and what we can do to change them or developing healthy strategies and boundaries to deal with people, places, and things we can't change. We'll work to identify the patterns of emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships currently showing up in your life, and how you might want to adjust them to live a life more in alignment with what you truly value. A life enabling you to find and lean-in to your best self. I take most insurance

Healing occurs when there is an acknowledgement and readiness for help. None of us, as humans, walk this earth without wounds. But wounds are not the sole problem. It is how these wounds are tended to - often not tended to, and sometimes worse, which determines one's capacity to embrace and feel security within themselves and others. Tending to wounds, not forced healing, is the key mentality of individuals I work best with. Your wounds deserve the time they need to heal and healing requires medicine which is uncomfortable and requires effort. I work best with individuals who struggle with PTSD, anxiety, depression, self-insecurity,

Open Relationships Non-Monogamy Therapists
Why might an individual want to see a therapist specializing in open relationships and consensual non-monogamy?
A client seeking help with an open or consensually non-monogamous relationship will prefer to talk with a professional whom they can count on to be nonjudgmental. Talking with a supportive therapist may on its own help relieve some of the stigma and challenges partners face. That said, the most important factor in the success of any type of therapy is the ability of the client and practitioner to form a strong, trusting bond. For this reason, an individual or couple could find success with a therapist who does not specialize in non-monogamous relationships but with whom they can build trust.
When should open or consensually non-monogamous partners seek counseling?
Like other couples, polyamorous partners typically seek counseling when they face relationship challenges they can’t solve themselves. In non-monogamous relationships, this could include breaches of trust, including infidelity; unclear rules or violations of boundaries; jealousy of outside partners; the stress of juggling the needs of multiple partners; or the effect of high partner turnover on children. Like those of other couples, polyamorous bonds can be threatened by increasingly frequent arguments, poor or dysfunctional communication, diminished emotional or physical intimacy, or the feeling that something is wrong, even if they don’t know what it is.
Do therapists have special training to gain expertise in open relationships and consensual non-monogamy?
No, but individuals seeking help with non-monogamous relationships would most likely consult a licensed professional with specific training in couples counseling or couples therapy. Couples counseling and couples therapy both involve teaching concrete strategies to navigate conflict in relationships. A good therapist can engage both partners as they explain these approaches but can also work with a single partner.
How long does therapy for consensually non-monogamous couples typically last?
Couples therapy for any type of couple, tends to be relatively time-limited, lasting around 12 weeks on average. A good therapist will tailor sessions to the individual partners’ emotions and sometimes their past, along with patterns found to be repeating in the relationship. In many cases, clients should expect their therapist to assign “homework” between weekly sessions.
