I believe that personal growth is a lifelong endeavor. People can grow and change if they are willing to invest the time, given the tools, and if they are provided with support. As your therapist, I will help you achieve self-awareness, satisfaction, and happiness. I want you to become the best version of yourself and for you to be in satisfying relationships. I possess experience working with individuals of all orientations and genders and with couples on various issues ranging from the simple to the complex.

Is depression, anxiety, and/or trauma getting in the way of having fulfilling relationships? Maybe you're feeling stuck in your relationship (s), going through a change in identity, or entering/letting go of a particular life stage? Perhaps the complexity of transition is causing you to feel overwhelm, fear, grief, confusion, or loneliness? I’m here to journey with you to tender territory, taking a gentle, warm, yet direct approach. As a Contemplative Psychotherapist, I use mindfulness to tune into and reflect back your brilliant sanity – an innate wisdom and wholeness that is already within.

If you're hoping to feel more grounded and connected with yourself and your most important values, perhaps I can help. This might mean working on issues related to anxiety, your relationship with food and your body, and healing from past hurts. Collaborating with sensitive, creative, artistic folks is one of my biggest passions, including fellow therapists and healers.

I enjoy working with people from a wide variety of backgrounds and concerns. Are you experiencing depression, anxiety, life stressors, work or relationship dissatisfaction, grief, the impact from trauma, trouble adjusting to life transitions or illness, sleep problems, OCD, phobias, substance use issues or some other problem? I want to help you reach your optimal health, which may include both mental and physical health goals. I know it can be difficult to share such personal experiences with a new person, so it’s important to me to create a trusting bond to work on your concerns.

Welcome everyone to my practice!! I have been working with children, teens, families and couples since 2001 at non-profit agencies and private practice here in the Seattle area . I specialize in relational issues, loss and grief issues, depression, anxiety and fears, and general unhappiness and desire for growth. With my experience and education I have been able to hone my skills to create what I believe to be a positive, caring atmosphere necessary for the growth and change that can occur in a therapy session.

Through our therapeutic relationship I will work collaboratively with you to move toward a greater sense of wellness, balance and meaning in your life and in your relationships.

I incorporate the exploration of family systems and culture with your personal narrative, listen to your emotional landscape, and use a variety of somatic, mindfulness approaches to supported embodied change.

Loss doesn’t only occur when someone dies. At times, the grief that accompanies loss can be debilitating. Whether it is caused by the death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship , the loss of an opportunity, or the loss of faith in ourselves or our world, grief can make us question everything we know. But you don’t have to go through this alone. Together we can work through the pain of grief to accept the reality of the loss and adjust to living a new and fulfilling life.

I have experience working with adults of all ages carrying a wide range of diagnoses. I work with individuals as well as couples . My specialties are working with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, and life transitions of all kinds. I am dedicated to tailoring a treatment plan specific to the needs of the individual or couple. I am also flexible and understanding of changes that may come up during our work, and always willing to change up our plan to reflect this. We work collaboratively on these goals while utilizing open and clear communication about our progress.

Being human is challenging. Am I enough? Too much? Feelings of anxiety and inadequacy can interfere with one’s ability to connect with the self and others. Personal growth requires integration of the mind, body, and soul. Understanding past wounds, exploring difficult emotions and identifying behavioral patterns are steps to creating more fulfilling relationships and providing relief from pain and hurt in one’s life. With empathy, acceptance, and openness, I aim to be a guide along your path toward self-discovery, authenticity, and belonging. *I am an LGBTQIA+ Kink/Poly Ally, I believe in social justice and racial equity.

The therapeutic relationship I create with my clients is the most important part of this process, I collaborate with my clients throughout to find the most effective evidence-based treatments and create a personalized experience towards what wellness means for you.

I am licensed in Washington State and I work with adult children, partners and siblings of individuals with Narcissistic and Borderline Personality Disorder traits. It can be difficult to find a therapist who truly understands the impact and wounds of being raised in a home or being in a relationship with someone who has narcissistic traits or borderline traits. My work includes creating a healthy psychological separation, changing the negative internal messages, learning how to respond to others, creating healthy boundaries, stopping the legacy of distorted love and becoming your true and authentic self.
