Cigna and Evernorth Therapists in Downtown, Seattle, WA

I view therapy as an opportunity to recognize the strengths of each person, the uniqueness of each story, and to find ways to use those strengths to create change and growth. I enjoy having the chance to walk alongside people through all types of challenges and triumphs as a willing listener who can provide empathy, a non-judgmental view on current and past experiences, and support to work towards meeting goals.

The first step to healing is recognizing that you need support reaching your desired emotional and mental wellness. Choosing a therapist you can connect with is critical to successful treatment. When working with clients, I use a non-judgmental collaborative approach while receiving authentic validation of life struggles and also encouraging clients to move toward change and healing. My expertise includes helping client process loss, navigating through life stressors, and adjusting to life transitions.

Due to my social work background, I approach therapy with one initial goal: to meet someone where they’re at. This means utilizing the unique strengths, experiences, and identities inherent within each person to help them live fuller, happier, more meaningful lives. All work done in therapy is built on a true collaboration, where a client can present themselves as they are and use tools presented by the therapist to gently challenge them, and help them navigate whatever they’re struggling with. My clients are mainly individuals experiencing depression, difficult life changes, anxiety, and trauma.

My clients are often facing transitions that may leave them feeling alone or unlike themselves. By creating a nonjudgmental space where they can feel seen and understood, I help my clients discover what is most important to them so that they can find more ease in their lives. Therapeutic sessions will be tailored to clients' individual needs. I prioritize using a strengths-based approach, along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and similar modalities. In therapy, clients often learn that their current coping strategies, even those that are harmful, have served a purpose.

Being a therapist is my passion and I consider it an honor to be able to work with everyone of my clients. My passion for being a therapist come from my own healing journey. I understand what it is like to struggle. I also know what it is like to find peace through healing.

My practice is informed by my eclectic educational background, eastern and indigenous teachings, and the body’s innate sense of wisdom. I consider myself to be a warm, grounding individual, and am here to learn from you and walk with you on your mental health journey. I have learned a great deal about the ‘mind-body split’ and the reality that western therapy often leaves the body and spirit out of the picture, much to our detriment. I work with clients to begin building relationships with their bodies, nervous systems, and greater selves, with the goal of increased coping skills, embodiment, resiliency and neuroplasticity.

I enjoy working with adults from all walks of life navigating complex trauma, demoralization, anxiety, transitions, grief, end of life and chronic medical issues. Many clients are striving to move beyond "stuck" and the feeling they are just surviving to a more hopeful perspective allowing healing and growth.To move through change there is often a feeling of loss, uncertainty, a redefinition of roles or self-identity.

Life is hard. We are going too fast in too many directions, and we haven't had time to heal from things that are still hurting us. Divorce, peer issues, relationship problems, family dynamics, stress, and just being human is HARD. I have learned that what people often need is to tell their stories from a safe place and have someone truly hear them and see them. I want to honor your story. Life is messy. Let's talk.
