Do you struggle to trust yourself, validate your own needs and feelings, or set boundaries? Did you grow up with an unavailable, unpredictable, or critical parent? Are you quick to take responsibility and blame yourself for relational struggles? Longing to address these issues, process a painful loss, or find freedom from limiting patterns and beliefs, my clients are seeking clarity, healing, and empowerment. Often, we are navigating relationships, family conflict, career choices and satisfaction, and hopes for the future.

I enjoy working with healers and caregivers who are wanting to start over in one or more areas of their life. Conditioning can pull us into personas, beliefs and rules that have us make decisions from a dense energy, influencing our physical and emotional health. I use a holistic approach and expressive arts to repair old wounds while healing the communication between mind and body. I use expressive arts, IFS, food science, poetry, spiritual awareness and soul collage to help visualize and understand self led energy. I can help you connect to your mind/body intuition. I also provide walk and talk therapy in Seattle.

If you struggle with anxiety, stress, trauma and depression I can help. I use recent techniques learned from Neurobiology, Neuropscyhology research and Bio-Acoustic Sound Medicine that provide immediate relief. I have 31 years experience and bring that knowledge to make sure that you leave the first session with tools that help. There is no need to continue to feel stressed and overwhelmed any longer. I focus on building your self awareness and ability to control how you react to stress through becoming mindful of your needs and thought process and applying tools that work.

I help anxious & neurodivergent people process their relationships, emotions, and careers. You may feel stuck, trapped by your emotions or your relational patterns. You may be accomplished in your career, but still aren't happy. You are burnt out, working on fumes, but holding it together enough on the outside that no one really understands how lost you feel. I want to help you align yourself with your life - through insight we can intentionally help you experience true and sustaining change.

As a therapist, I believe that building healthy and fulfilling relationships is the foundation of change in all areas of life. I work with both couples and individual clients in identifying and achieving personal and relational goals. In therapy, we will work together to understand the struggles that a couple or individual client is facing and provide helpful tools to navigate them. I am committed to creating a safe, honest, and collaborative therapeutic space with a dash of humor, where I encourage my clients to explore and challenge their negative patterns and beliefs to produce lasting changes.

My approach is rooted in the belief that how we relate to ourselves mirrors how we experience life and develop relationships. Not many of us were taught how to compassionately attend to our painful feelings, critical thoughts, or impulsive behaviors. Instead, we may have been scolded, shamed, or sent away for showing big feelings such as anger or sadness, praised for being self-reliant, or withdrawn from by parents who did not have the capacity to be with our feelings. When we can begin to shift from judgment and avoidance of the parts of ourselves that we may not approve of to curiosity; healing can begin.

Being a human can be a lonely, confusing, and stressful experience. Although our modern world is a wondrous place, it can also feel overwhelming and isolating. And yet, maybe some part of you knows there is joy and connection to be had — so how do you access it? Before becoming a therapist, I spent over a decade as an organic farmer; without knowing why, I sensed that I needed to do work that was close to the ground — to be near things that felt fundamental and foundational to life. I view therapy in much the same way: as a space to work with what is deep and foundational in you.

In an out of control world, we all retain the human freedom of turning our attention inwards to find meaning and clarity. We all have times when life feels out of balance and the path forward seems uncertain. Our suffering does not have to be meaningless, it can be our most profound tool for personal transformation.
