Therapists in Seattle, WA
My clients often identify as high achievers, with a rich inner world, a beautifully full mind that sometimes attracts anxiety and hypervigilance. Occasionally their past wounds trick them into thinking their present will inevitably suffer. Many remember feeling emotionally/mentally unsafe while simultaneously trying to make decisions that keep them safe. This can lead to seasons of intense self-criticism, fear, and persistent negative thoughts. However, these folks are often ready to break free from old patterns and achieve joy despite it all! Many have succeeded at this but are too close to survival mode still so they reach out.

I'm a clinical psychologist with a doctorate from the PGSP-Stanford PsyD Consortium. My training includes a clinical internship at the Sacramento VA and postdoctoral fellowships at the Palo Alto VA and Stanford School of Medicine.
I’ve worked in a variety of clinical settings with diverse populations, drawing from several therapeutic approaches. I currently work with adults who are exploring questions of purpose, meaning, and loss, and who may also be navigating life transitions, relationship and family dynamics, chronic stress, burnout, grief, trauma, serious mental illness, or other emotional challenges.

I believe one of the most important things in life is a fulfilling relationship. If you find yourself experiencing disconnection and misunderstanding with your partner, I can help you clarify what is happening for each individual and the relationship as a whole. As a specialist in couples therapy, my goal is helping you experience more fulfilling communication, connection, and intimacy with each other. Working together, we will uncover the negative patterns of interaction preventing your relationship from reaching meaningful connection. We will engage with your deepest attachment needs to bring a greater sense of clarity.

Everyone carries emotions, memories, and physical sensations from difficult experiences, and consequently there are parts of yo (i.e. behaviors, thought patterns, etc) that work very hard to help keep you safe. I welcome every part of you. Together we will hold space for your pain without rushing to distract, avoid or escape from it, and my goal is to help you access the active healing presence inside. I personally understand that being a POC poses many challenges in this country and seeking support from clinicians who don't look like you or talk like you makes it far more difficult. I see you and I'm here for you.

Many people come to therapy seeking tools; others seek transformation. My work is for those called toward deeper authenticity—who sense more beneath the surface of their symptoms, relationships, dreams, or emotional patterns. You may feel an inner pull to explore the roots of your experiences, not just the behaviors that grow from them. I offer a therapeutic space where that exploration becomes possible. Healing unfolds in the context of relationship—to our psyche, bodies, histories, & those who shaped us. Together, we examine your emotional landscape, attachment patterns, inner symbols, & unconscious material to help find meaning.

I work with adolescents and adults who are experiencing concerns related to depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and complex trauma, gender transition, sexual identity, neurodivergence, self-exploration and identity, and other issues.

I specialize in delivering evidence-based treatment for anxiety disorders and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). The science is clear on what works best for these issues, yet often clients who need it most never access the right type of care. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) treatment is considered the gold standard, and while many therapists use various CBT tools and techniques, they are not incorporated in a structured way as the research indicates. With over a decade of experience and thousands of hours delivering CBT treatments, I have cultivated a profound understanding on how to help folks with these issues.

By being present with my clients' suffering, I help them to achieve both acceptance and change. I believe that everyone deserves happiness and that the path to happiness requires honesty, kindness, and compassion for both self and others. My style is interactive and collaborative with an emphasis on making changes via concrete, specific plans of action. I believe in creating a safe place where clients can feel seen, heard, and accepted for who they are. My understanding of the healing nature of the therapeutic relationship is grounded in attachment theory. I especially enjoy working with issues of identity and differentness.

You might be navigating anxiety, trauma, chronic pain, or the ongoing stress of trying to hold it all together. Many of my clients feel disconnected from their bodies or caught in cycles of overthinking, fear, or self-criticism. Using a mind-body approach, we explore how emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations intertwine—creating space for greater awareness, regulation, and compassion toward yourself.

I provide therapeutic care and support for children and young adults facing changes or challenges. In my work with this age-group over the past 11years, I have found that an incredible amount of development, exploration, and identify formation occurs during these stages of life. It can be difficult at times to separate out who we really are, from the problems and situations we may face. Through my strengths-based approach, I aim to provide a safe and encouraging space for each of my clients to work through their unique experiences, identify their individual strengths, find healing, explore their goals, and recognize their potential.
