I am here to be with you as you sort out and discover what is best for you, who you are, and the best ways to manage your symptoms so that you can create the life you have always wanted.

I earned my MA in Mental Health Counseling from Antioch University Seattle. I believe that having a safe and calm space through which we can explore ourselves and our identity can provide an increased level of understanding as well as new ways through which we can interact with the world around us. At the core of my therapeutic approach is the belief that our thoughts and actions form to meet a need based on the context of our experiences and our body’s responses, and that by understanding the individual and systemic context in which we live we can find new ways of meeting our needs.

The goal of therapy is determined by you, and what you want to accomplish in the process of therapy. I believe you have the full potential to reach your goals and have a better understanding of your true self if you allow self-compassion and compassion for others. You are people who experience hardships in life transitions, struggle with identity issues, have relationship conflicts, seek healing from traumatic experiences, suffer from social injustice and people who seek personal growth.

In life we have experiences that shape us. Some of these experiences have a major influence as to how we view ourselves and how we view the world around us. These experiences may impact confidence, relationships, and ability to cope. Each day may involve work stress, family stress, relationship stress, financial stress, and ideally we want to find a way to healthily manage all that life entails. We want to learn and find new ways to navigate through our own lives with more balance and positivity.

You’re constantly juggling the demands of your job, your family, and your inner turmoil. You feel overwhelmed and exhausted. Ongoing stress, along with unpleasant past memories, weighs heavily on you, making it hard to feel at ease. You struggle with feelings of loneliness and helplessness, get caught in a cycle of people-pleasing, and interpersonal conflicts only add to your stress, leaving you feeling unworthy and unsupported. Perhaps you find it difficult to express your needs and vulnerability, and the defenses you put up only hurt your partner and push them further away. You feel lost and disconnected.

My specialties include low self-esteem, anxiety, trauma-related issues, insecurity, attachment styles, and FOO (Family of origin) issues. I tend to work well with clients who appreciate connection, honesty, and humor; who are interested in learning new things; who are into music and arts; who possess sensitivity, intuition, and a spiritual inclination. I particularly enjoy working with bilingual/bicultural individuals experiencing an identity crisis; college students or young professionals feeling stuck; and parents/couples who wish to improve their parenting/partnership by healing their own emotional wounds.

It is common to feel loneliness and heartbreak when experiencing relationship difficulties (sexual concerns, poor communication, conflict without repair, lack of intimacy, codependence, wanting different things, working through a betrayal such as infidelity). I work with individuals, couples, and intimate partnerships who are experiencing relationship and sexual difficulties or mental health concerns, supporting each partner’s growth in self- and other-intimacy by helping each of you identify and skillfully communicate what you think, feel, and prefer and listen with curiosity and compassion as your partner does the same.
