Somatic Therapists in Seattle, WA
I have extensive specialized training in Somatic and Mindfulness techniques.
For over 20 years I have been in private practice in Seattle serving adult individuals and couples. I am an active and engaged therapist. Science is confirming that we are wired from birth to develop emotionally within the context of compassionate human relationships. Thus we will work together to create an atmosphere of emotional safety and nonjudgmental awareness. I will pay careful attention not only to your pain and challenges but to your strengths as well. Together we will generate a creative dialogue. New approaches to your dilemmas will emerge allowing emotional crises to become an opportunity for personal growth.

My approach is relational and collaborative, blending somatic practices to strengthen the mind-body connection.
In a world that can feel overwhelming and uncertain, trying to navigate your own struggles on top of everything else can be exhausting. Maybe you’re facing a major life transition, wrestling with big existential questions, trying to cope with the state of the world, or in need of a supportive space to help life feel more manageable. Whatever you’re carrying, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Together, we’ll create space for you to process your experience, explore what truly matters to you, and reconnect with yourself. You deserve to feel at home in your mind and body, grounded in who you are, and free to live the life you want.

My approach is somatic-relational and evidence-based.
Therapy is a great place to gain perspective on what you can change. Also, to widen the horizon from managing pain to living more fully like yourself and to thriving. Because, as Thich Nhat Hanh said, "suffering is not enough".

I specialize in IFS (parts work) and somatic psychotherapy, as well as couple, relationship, and family therapy using a systemic, liberation-rooted, neurodiverse- and queer-affirming, and BIPOC-allied framework.
As a couple, family, & individual therapist, I honor the importance of our inherent human need to be in fulfilling connection with others; and I recognize how difficult this can sometimes be. Whether you're feeling disconnected from your partner, overwhelmed by the level of conflict in your day-to-day family interactions, going through major life transitions, or seeking therapy to explore how past hurt and current challenges are constraining your capacity to fully inhabit your life, individual, couple, and family therapy can help illuminate new paths forward. I invite you to reach out to me for a free consultation.

As a sports lover and previous athlete, I also explore and value the mind-body connection through somatic work.
Change is difficult and I deeply honor the growing pains that can come with change. It is hard to be uncomfortable, as growth and change happen outside of our comfort zone. Therefore, I also enjoy empowering and supporting clients to find the correct tools that can help foster their wanted growth. I place a high value on working to understand where you come from and your experiences. I am curious to learn about you and create a collaborative relationship with you so we can work together towards your goals. You are the expert of your own life, and I am here to walk alongside you.

In therapy I also draw from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), relational and somatic/movement approaches.
Perhaps you’ve been feeling alone, misunderstood, as if you are the only one in the world experiencing a sense of hopelessness, stress, and sadness. You may be overwhelmed by recent changes in your life and wondering how you will possibly cope. Maybe old patterns that you thought you had moved past are creeping back into your life and you’re beginning to feel out of control. You are not alone. I’m here to help!

I integrate trauma-focused, attachment-based, somatic, and narrative therapies within a culturally sensitive, relational framework.
Life is full of transitions—some expected, others surprising. Whether you're navigating pregnancy, postpartum, fertility challenges, or facing shifts like grief, career change, or relationship stress, feeling overwhelmed is human. As a therapist with a background as a birth and postpartum doula, I offer a warm, trauma-informed space to explore emotions, strengthen self-trust, and move through change with clarity and compassion. My approach is collaborative, relational, and rooted in deep respect for your lived experience.

As an existentialist & somatic-based therapist, I work from social justice principles such as anti-racism & feminism, which help us create a collaborative, embodied & relational therapeutic process.
Are you finding yourself stuck in patterns that used to help but now are holding you back? Do you have this subtle, or not subtle, sense of something must be wrong with me? Are you struggling to feel connected to your body? Many of us have learned ways of being to keep us safe against the harshness of our experiences. If you are curious about your patterns & what might not be serving you so well any more, this is the place for you. I help individuals, couples, & folks in other relational formations create more compassion, connections to their bodies, & understand that those subtle, to not, signs are critical to moving forward.

I primarily work from a relational psychodynamic perspective with a focus on interpersonal neurobiology and trauma-informed narrative and somatic therapy, as well as Equine Assisted Psychotherapy.
Welcome to Hawthorn Trail Therapy; I'm so glad you're here. Human-ing is hard. As relational beings our hearts are broken by grief, loss, and harm, and we can become disconnected from ourselves, others, and the world. The Hawthorn tree symbolizes courage and resilience, and is known for healing of the heart. It takes courage to seek therapy; it's a step on the path of compassionate awareness toward healing and home. For me, this path is one of developing safety and flexibility in the nervous system, moving out of bracing or collapse toward openness and connection, and finding new ways of being that lead to freedom and flourishing.

” My approach is rooted in the depth psychology tradition but informed by somatic (body based) and neurobiological modalities.
I offer psychotherapy to people who feel drawn to explore and expand their self awareness and transform emotional confusion and suffering. I believe that it’s in relationship with others where we are harmed and it’s also in relationship with others where we can heal. The therapy relationship facilitates a healing conversation because it is a place of safety where you can begin to expand your ability to communicate, develop your capacity for self compassion, deepen your emotional understanding, and increase your self confidence.

For example, some folks get more benefit from a somatic approach and some folks get more benefit from cognitive-based approach.
I am a trauma-focused practitioner and have experience working with adults and elders on a variety of concerns, including life transitions and stress, traumatic experiences, toxic and abusive relationships, chronic illness and disability, gender, sexuality, anxiety, and depression. As a person-centered practitioner, I believe that recovery is possible and that you know yourself best. I work to create an environment of unconditional acceptance as we work together to explore what's unresolved, unbalanced, and causing pain in your life. I draw from several evidence-based practices to provide individualized treatment to every client.

My approach is compassionate, holistic, and somatic.
You deserve to feel grounded, and at home in yourself. If you’re feeling stuck, anxious, disconnected from your body, or simply going through the motions of life, you’re not alone. You may be caring for everyone else while feeling lost in the process—numb, overwhelmed, or unsure of who you really are anymore. I help people reconnect with themselves, their bodies, and their inner wisdom so they can move through life with more confidence, clarity, and vitality.

Using relational therapy, internal family systems, and somatic awareness as my primary approaches, I bring my own human experience to reflect back parts of your story you may not be able to see or feel.
Approaching therapy with a holistic lens, my focus is to uncover the unconscious sources of behaviors, thoughts, and feelings while bringing an awareness to what your body wants to communicate with you. I work to integrate the fullness of who you are—mind, body, and soul so you can feel more alive and connected to yourself and those around you.
We will create a space together where deep understanding, self-care, and emotions that may feel scary can be explored without shame.
