We reach out for help when something in our life gets our attention. It could be distressing feelings and thoughts, paralyzing indecision, stress, relationship challenges, trauma, illness, just to name a few. We can feel vulnerable, lost, alone. Oftentimes, the original issue which first got our attention takes us on an unexpected journey. We are given the opportunity to deepen into our relationship with ourselves and the divine in ways that heal and change us beyond anything we imagined. This reverberates into every aspect of our life bringing happiness, renewed vitality, a sense of belonging and feeling engaged in life, contentment and peace.

It takes strength and courage to face your problems head on yet, if we don't we will only continue to live in doubt of ourselves and the world around us. Starting therapy is not an easy choice but, hiding behind our fears will ultimately just leave us feeling stuck. I believe we all have a warrior inside of us that can get us through anything life has to offer and I would like to be a part of the process in your discovery of this internal strength.

I see clients in person at my office in the Wallingford neighborhood on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10 AM-7 PM and via telehealth.
I help clients find meaning, connection, clarity, and purpose. I am particularly well suited to working with clients amid life transitions, such as career changes, marriage and divorce, having or launching children, recovery from addiction, aging, and loss, as well as couples in distressed relationships. I aim to be fully present for clients, offering curiosity, careful listening, non-judgment, and authenticity. My approach is collaborative, honoring clients’ beliefs, emotions, and experiences as valid and true and recognizing them as the ultimate authority on the changes they seek.

Working via telehealth and in person at my office in Seward Park, Seattle, WA.
If you are in a painful repetition or trapped in a cycle that feels traumatic, hard or harmful, with your partner or marriage, work, or any relationship, I can certainly understand why you would reach out for therapy - with hope for change, and dread that what you fear is somehow ultimately true.
You may even be able to imagine an alternate way of being, even if you don't yet understand how to be different or why you keep repeating what you do not wish to. I trust that what you are doing is for a good reason, although perhaps not working for you anymore.
Moving on to the next chapter and finding meaning in the old is possible.

Life not quite what you expected? Come in and we can turn it around together. I have training and experience with a variety of issues including substance and non-substance addictions, deafness and hearing loss, relationship problems, depression, anxiety, adjusting to life changes, grief and loss, divorce, identifying and evolving toward life goals. Intimacy, improving self-esteem, self-confidence, and ability to communicate are often areas that people chose to work on. Sharing your life with another can be joyful and difficult. Therapy is a neutral place to explore the relationship.

Currently offering both in-person sessions and telehealth.
I approach therapy from an empathic relational orientation using a feminist, diversity-informed lens. My style is warm & non-judgmental. I believe the client is the expert their life & value being collaborative, transparent & authentic with clients. I don’t offer advice or quick fixes, but I see it as an honor to sit with clients in their vulnerability and help them make meaning. I see the role systems of oppression play particularly in the lives of those with marginalized identities & stand for reproductive freedom, racial justice and the rights of trans and non-binary people. These values are woven into my work as a psychologist.

The relationship I develop with both individuals and partners seeks to prioritize and build value around your own unique identity, as well as your singular and/or cultural understanding of wellness, safety, trust, and strength. Together we will explore the intersections of mind, body, community, and spirit to find new ways of being in the world that foster a lively and meaningful life. I consider you to be the expert of the meaning you pursue, and I value time spent letting you in on the “secret” of the therapeutic process so we can bend it to your individual need. I am LGBTQ+ affirming, as well as polyamory and kink affirming.

Currently, I see clients in person twice a week and also offer Telehealth appointments throughout the week.
It takes courage to seek therapy, and I commend you for taking this step. Are you looking for a safe space to process challenging feelings, thoughts, events and/or relationships? Do you want to learn tools to help you be more actively engaged and present in your life? Is fear or sadness preventing you from living in alignment with your values or accomplishing your goals? I believe that we all have an innate ability and desire to live our lives with intent, and sometimes we need support and guidance to connect to those values as we navigate our ever changing circumstances.
