I provide a safe and compassionate space for you to reflect, find clarity, and feel supported as you make changes to make your life more what you'd like it to be. Sometimes this is after many years of trying to make relationships work without therapy. Sometimes this is when you realize you're too lonely and isolated and need some support to break those isolating habits. Sometimes this is when you have taken on all the stress and responsibility of your family and you feel at your breaking point. Psychotherapy can help you find ways to make your life the one you want to be living.

As we all know life is full of ups and downs, but for you it may feel like your life has been filled with more challenging places then maybe others around you have experienced. You’re starting to feel like it’s time to make some changes, and feel good about yourself and about your life. There may be a loss, a difficult relationship, or other challenges in your life. You're in a place where you can’t continue on the path that you are on, even though you feel like you should be thankful for what you do have in life. It’s okay to have those very thoughts and feelings.

I began my career over 20 years ago helping survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, inspiring a lifelong passion for trauma work.
I am a licensed mental health counselor in Washington state and provide psychotherapy to individuals ages 16 and up. My passion is trauma work; I care deeply about the ways in which trauma impacts people’s lives. Symptoms like hypervigilance, emotional flashbacks, anxiety, and insomnia can be exhausting and disruptive. Trauma can lead to challenges in our relationships and even show up in our body as tension and inflammation. My work is focused on helping people identify the pain points in their lives and then partnering with them to effectively reduce symptoms, promote recovery, and safely reconnect to themselves and others.

As we get to know one another you will find that my approach is curious, compassionate and direct. Therapy can be serious work, but that doesn’t mean we have to take ourselves too seriously. You can expect that I will use some humor as a means to challenge maladaptive coping or self defeated thinking. Most days we will laugh, some days we may cry. Sometimes I will tell you things that you may not want to hear. My role is not only to provide emotional support, but hold you accountable. There may be moments of discomfort, but through our honest work together you can achieve the relationship with yourself that you deserve.

Domestic Abuse Therapists
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.

When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.

What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.

How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
