Trauma Focused Therapists in Kirkland, WA
I am personally and professionally familiar with geek and gaming culture, and believe these experiences and identities have a place in a successful therapeutic relationship. Further, I have experience working with lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals, and all members of the LGBTQ+ community are welcome clients. I believe in the power of community that is built on shared values and experiences. If you identify as a member of the LGBTQ+ and/or gaming communities and would like to explore these identities as part of your therapy experience, or you would simply prefer a therapist within these communities, we may be a good fit.

I work with clients representing many ages and identities who experience issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, identity exploration and life changes. My therapeutic style is warm, accepting, and collaborative. I bring commitment to cultural sensitivity and social justice to my work, respecting that our lives are connected to and shaped by multiple cultural, communal, and societal influences. I value helping clients find their own best answers to challenges, understand how past experiences impact present life, engage in healing and find personal sources of creativity, health, happiness, and hope.

Welcome! If you have made it this far, then I want to say: keep going. You deserve a safe place to grow and heal, in an environment that is completely different from the traditional talk-therapy. I created Stable Ground Therapy in order to bring Equine-Facilitated Psychotherapy to those who are left out of the trauma and PTSD conversation: First Responders, LGBTQ+ community, as well as other communities.

In addition, I offer telehealth services for those seeking traditional talk-therapy services.

Are you high-functioning at work, yet struggle in your personal life or relationships? Or do you hold a persistent sense of shame and terror beneath the surface of your skin? Maybe you held a 'parent' role when you were younger and you feel responsible yet resentful at your parents. Whatever circumstances of life brought you here, I commend you for searching for a different way of approaching what pains you.

Are you at a crossroads in life? I support adults as they work through present struggles and past painful experiences like divorce, career issues, chronic pain, grief, parenting concerns, and other stressors. Another focus area of my practice is on processing religious abuse, deconstruction, and spiritual exploration. It is common to experience anxiety, depression, low self esteem, and a host of other symptoms in response to traumatic experiences, but healing is possible no matter what you are facing.

I work with adult women who are struggling with a variety of issues including (but not limited to) personal and professional transitions, relationships, identity, anxiety, and depression. I am interested in addressing the many unique challenges that women face while navigating their lives: not feeling seen, the mental burden of feeling overly-responsible for others, burnout, anger/irritability, emotional numbing, withdrawal and isolation, and issues of self-worth and self-esteem. I want to help women develop their sense of themselves and connect with their power.
