Life is painful. You may feel lost or trapped, overwhelmed or numb, fearful or broken. You need someone to hear and understand you, to support you and help you find a way forward out of anger, depression, anxiety, addiction, or grief. I want to provide a place where you can feel safe, grounded, valued, and respected so that you can face with courage whatever blocks you from discovering your true and unique beauty. I would be honored to join you in this important and brave work, using my expertise and your honesty and commitment. A major part of my work is also helping couples find better mutual understanding and support.

Whether you are experiencing an especially difficult season or just want to learn more about why you get caught in painful, repetitive cycles, together we can explore what brings you to therapy and your personal goals for healing. Current neurobiology shows us that through a healthy therapeutic relationship we can learn new ways to relate to ourselves and others, enabling us to heal from past hurts and live into our full selves. I provide a welcome space for childen, adults, and couples to explore what is hurting them and to open up a path to deeper connection, meaning, and joy.

I have over 25 years of mental health and addiction treatment experience. My goal is to make each person comfortable in their life, be who they are, to feel confident and live a fulfilled life. Therapy is an opportunity to understand ourselves, to increase self-confidence while in various phases and transitions in life.

Life can be hard. Lonely. Confusing. Painful. As woman, we are called on to do a lot and to be a lot - often at the expense of our own health and well-being. When loss or a major life transition occur, it can become too much to handle. Overwhelm floods in. We can reach a breaking point. Are you struggling to function well in your daily life, plagued by sleepless nights, physical discomforts, illness, apathy … just going through the motions of living? Do you worry your relationships are being impacted too much by nagging bad moods or angry outbursts? It doesn't have to be this way. You don't have to do this alone. I can help.

I primarily approach therapy from a relational, psychodynamic framework. I view therapy as a place where we explore how we've been shaped, grieve the pain & loss we've suffered, and try on new ways of relating to ourselves and others. This approach informs my work with both individuals and couples. When working with couples, I help them locate their innermost feelings and engage each other with compassion and vulnerability.

Since the beginning of time, people have been guaranteed a few things. One of those guarantees: Life will be challenging and at times, devastating. Another guarantee: Life will be beautiful and at times, breathtaking. Sometimes, the challenges of life feel too much to bear alone. In those times, we may need help in order to building a life worth living. I would be honored to journey with you, helping you find the strength you need to navigate your life. I am trained in client-centered therapy, effective communication strategies, DBT, mindfulness, dance/movement therapy, and traditional Coast Salish teachings.

I see individuals with anxiety, depression, phobias, dissociative disorders, and with histories of trauma, (including service members returning from Afghanistan and Iraq). I use EMDR combined with other client-centered therapies. What is most important, however, is that your therapy is tailored to your individual needs and does not follow a strict set of guidelines. Using a humanistic and transpersonal approach, we explore how longstanding beliefs and values affect how you feel about yourself and about the choices you make. We will identify and eliminate your "stumbling blocks" so that you feel in control of your destiny.

"What is within you that longs to come forth, what waits for you to say Yes?" In my work with clients we work together as a team to create a mutual, shared space of compassion, caring and healing. In this space, problems are explored together, losses and hurts are held together. Where there is trauma, it is transformed through bodily-centered somatic therapy and EMDR. I bring a wide array of therapeutic techniques, from ancient wisdom traditions to cutting edge neurobiology, to support your healing and provide practical skills for reaching your goals. Whatever difficulties you face - healing is the rule, not the exception.

*Currently accepting new clients* It is not uncommon to feel stuck in unhealthy patterns that feel impossible to break. If you are feeling anxious, discouraged, and unsure of what to do, you are not alone. You deserve a life full of joy and vitality and there is no shame in taking the courageous first step in seeking help. I believe that healing can truly begin when we are in the presence of someone who is deeply committed to understanding us. When we are understood, we feel safe to explore our emotional experiences that often times feel too overwhelming to revisit.

From an early age, experiences within our families and the social and religious communities we are a part of can significantly influence how we develop. As we strive to make sense of our experience, we often develop coping strategies to keep us safe and whole. Despite our best efforts, some of these strategies can lead us into distressing cycles that affect our relationships, mood, motivation or life direction. Add on a world pandemic and you may be feeling chronic pain, long Covid, or other physical symptoms. You may feel grief, confusion or a loss of sense of self from narcissistic relationships, spiritual abuse or other trauma.

What keeps you awake at night, or awakens you suddenly at three AM? Or you have that dreaded feeling of having to wake up and face the worry, or situation again with no resolution. It's not pleasant experiencing these feelings alone, feeling you have no one who can really understand, or partner with you to find some clarity, or answers.
If this feels familiar, I hope you will consider contacting me. I'd be honored to partner with you, to see if together we can find your joy, clarity and the confidence to be all that you are meant to be.

Accepting new clients in person only. Insurance NOT accepted. Often mental health issues such as depression and anxiety manifest from unresolved trauma and/or an inability to know or express their true selves. I approach life dilemmas through an existential lens to find hope and meaning through suffering and by increasing awareness and potential for choice and being. I enjoy helping people explore their authentic selves by asking the question “What does it look like to be me?” Integrating the answers with spiritual, emotional, physical, and social aspects of their beings, I help others to live a more fulfilling life.

There might be past traumas, or feelings of anxiety and depression making it feel as though moving forward is impossible. I know first-hand the importance that having a supportive and caring person in your corner during these struggles.
