Therapy is about you. It's about your needs and goals. It's about healing from your past to flourish in the future. As your therapist, my job is to provide a safe, radically-accepting environment, whether you want to make a life change, cope with loss, navigate through a crisis, or simply open up to a supportive listener. I will work with you to identify and clarify your intentions, and facilitate the discovery of the inner strength necessary to live the life you want.

I combine neurofeedback (also known as EEG Biofeedback) training, cognitive-behavioral therapies and yoga psychology to help individuals achieve and maintain happier lives. My work is result oriented and I have maintained a successful practice for over 40 years in the Seattle – Bellevue - Bellingham area. During this time, I have worked with adults and children with a wide range of issues ranging from anxiety, depression, relationship issues, attentional issues, sleep disturbances, chronic headaches, developmental trauma, post traumatic stress disorder to stress related autoimmune disturbances.

I believe in the innate power each of us possesses to heal. Beginning with a gentle exploration of your story, your sense awareness and your feeling world, I seek to find a mutually agreed upon place to begin deeper work together. I hold close to embodiment (breath/gesture/sensation); creativity (playfulness/curiosity/possibility); and compassion (non-judgment/empathy/connection): all these are pathways to ground and support your healing process. I have found that depth of relationship itself is a healer, so I strive for a REAL, courageous relationship with my clients- capable of sustaining vulnerability, fierceness and deep transformations.

Something is “off”. Someone asks you what “off” means and you use a standard label, like “depression” or “anxiety”, but this label feels facile, incomplete. You wonder: “Then what is it?” Maybe, by exploring your “offness”, seeing what it’s connected to, by giving it our attention, something will shift. If you’re interested in exploring your unique “offness” in this way, I would be honored to work with you.

It takes courage to ask for support. Coming this far is a victory in and of itself. You’re in touch with yourself enough to know that you need something to change, although you may not be certain yet of what that change should look like. Perhaps you need a shift in perspective during a difficult time. Maybe you need to learn to cope with challenging emotions. Perhaps it is your child who needs help and you need help learning how to help them. Whatever your need, you deserve an empathetic and dedicated guide to join you on your journey. You don't have to do this alone. Currently taking clients intermittently.

Ultimately, addiction is a distraction from life's meaning and purpose. My primary focus is seeing my client connect to their own meaning and purpose--not only in recovery but life generally. Through these re-connections one can forge a prolonged and stable sense of progress that paves the way toward whatever goal is on the horizon. I do not believe I am in the business of ‘fixing’ anyone, instead supporting people as they realize their own potential to overcome whatever challenges are preventing them from living the life they deserve.

As a Certified Hakomi Therapist my offering is a Somatic Experiential Psychotherapy modality that is gentle, non-judgmental, and compassionate; a form of assisted self-study where the client studies his or her responses to explorations in a mindful state of consciousness. We become aware and touch upon the very organizing experiences that have been a part of our habitual life - the patterns that no long serve us. We increase clarity, creativity, confidence and awareness and break through obstacles towards ease, connection and vitality. I am available for phone or online sessions.

Positive change is possible when we are supported in identifying and harnessing strengths and building the capacity to understand ourselves more deeply and compassionately. Therapy begins with building a meaningful understanding of client experiences and goals and collaborating to build a beneficial approach. I have experience providing mental health counseling for a wide range of clients and presenting issues since 2012. In addition to individual treatment, I have completed Gottman level II training to provide evidenced-based couple's counseling.

I love working with individuals looking to make changes in their life. Its a big step to recognize we are stuck and need some help. I enjoy working with folks that don’t feel they easily fit in societal constructs. I have experience working with teens to adults using various modalities to address complex trauma, adoption issues, relationships, body image, parenting, and crisis stabilization, I enjoy supporting folks in exploring gender and sexuality and I'm supportive of all gender expressions, sexual orientations, and family compilations. I am a queer cis woman and parent and strong advocate for queer and trans rights and autonomy

Hypnosis works, even when everything else has failed, because it works differently, at the subconscious level. I you are trying to make a change but cannot, there may be a subconscious reason. I became a hypnotist after a 39 year career as a registered nurse, after realizing the value of hypnosis for helping people change habits, behaviors, and manage pain. I am skilled and I develop a targeted hypnosis plan for each client based on their particular needs. Compassionate and confidential.

Please know that I respond fastest to texts to 360-205-1870 (preferred) or emails.

Your journey is a collaborative approach so we will work to find what we feel is the best fit. I plan on supporting you down your path of self-authorship where you'll work to trust yourself, reflect on experiences, learn coping skills, and lead your life.

There are times in all our lives when we need emotional support. Reaching out for professional help takes strength and courage. Whether you are dealing with relationship issues, grief, depression, anxiety, a life transition or an emotional crisis, it can feel overwhelming to carry all of those emotions and worries alone. At times it can be difficult to even know what you want and need. I provide an open-minded, nonjudgemental, nurturing environment where you can feel safe to be yourself and express whatever emotions you are having.

Our subconscious mind holds the memories and perceptions of every experience from childhood to adulthood. As we continue our journey, the unresolved past continues to affect our bodies negatively and influence our thoughts, behaviors, and everyday life on an unconscious level. We may not understand why we feel or react as we do to certain situations or why the same patterns show up every time and unexplained symptoms and circumstances keep repeating themselves. Often this prevents us from moving forward with our lives, achieving clarity and authenticity.

Beginning 1st of October, I am accepting new clients! Living with anxiety is hard, and chances are you’ve really tried to manage it on your own. Maybe you have a general sense of worry all the time, or maybe there's something specific that brings it on. Either way, you want to feel better. On top of the exhaustion and overwhelm, you might worry there's something wrong with you. At this point, your anxiety is giving you anxiety! What if you felt in control of your anxiety? What if you were your own biggest cheerleader rather than worst critic? What if you could live a full, bright life without anxiety holding you back?

Welcome! I hope you aren't too overwhelmed looking for a therapist. It took me months to find my first counselor as an adult, but it was worth it! I specialized in seeing neurodivergent adults with PTSD and trauma issues. Please know that there is hope to feel better. I'm a regular guy, a nerd, a Dad, an athlete (Jiu Jitsu), socially awkward, and I love Wes Anderson movies and Star Wars. It's fine to ask for help, we all need a hand once in a while.
