Therapists in University District, Seattle, WA
I support people to come home to life and liberation in their bodies. I believe that we heal through the body and that the body is the most direct route towards feeling more alive, more connected, and like your contribution to this world really matters. It is my hope that our work will leave you feeling more free, alive, whole, and capable of having authentic connections with yourself, your body, and others. Through our body-based somatic work together, you will identify what truly matters to you and gain practicable skills that will help to align your actions with your vision for your life.

I use a strengths based approach, which means I reinforce and build on internal and external strengths, or protective factors, with each of my clients. My goal is always to first try to deeply understand my clients, while empowering them to choose how we will best work together. I invite open and honest conversation, while supporting my clients in accessing all of their different 'parts', feelings and lived experiences that might benefit from being experienced with a supportive other to undo aloneness, and deepen the capacity to fully feel and live authentically.

Are you unhappy with the path you are on? Are you feeling disconnected from people in your life? Do you want to build, strengthen, or repair your relationships? Sometimes we know we're dissatisfied, but are perhaps not sure why, and are even less certain about what to do to change it. My aim as your therapist is to offer a different perspective and to support you as you increase self-awareness and make conscious choices. We will examine attitudes, beliefs, and life patterns that may be impacting your functioning, self-esteem, and ability to deal with life's challenges.

I am part of PsyPact and offer telehealth in 42 states. I currently offer Supervision to pre-licensed clinicians in Washington State. I hope that therapy will be a safe place to process life and better understand who you are. My main therapy focus is grief and loss. Many challenges and complications we encounter fall under that umbrella from trauma to fertility to relationship dynamics evolving to identity changing. I'd be honored to walk with you through this season of grief (both death and non-death losses) and the myriad of feelings that come with it. It's okay to ask for help and prioritize yourself. I'm glad you're here.

There comes a time when we are forced to meet ourselves, hard as we might try to avoid it. It can happen for different reasons and during different life stages. Maybe you’re experiencing a big change that’s bringing everything up all at once, or perhaps you’re realizing the mask you’ve been wearing doesn’t quite fit right anymore. What you’ve always done is no longer working for you, and the new things you’ve tried so far aren't cutting it. And while you feel ready for change, the path forward feels messy, confusing, and overwhelming.

No one seeks therapy for the same reason. I do not know your story or why you are seeking, but I know it is not easy. Should you choose to work with me, my hope for you in our work together would be that you would find freedom from whatever binds you--whatever keeps you from joy, from peace, from living as fully as you have within you to live.

Many of us learn early on that our belonging in this world depends on our ability to banish aspects of ourselves that cannot be safely held by others. We skillfully fold and shrink ourselves into the shapes that allow us to survive, sometimes with great reward for doing so, but find that our deepest longings go unmentioned and unmet. I am here to hold space for those parts which are too big, too unbearable to be held alone, so that my clients can expand in ways that help them contact their feelings, connect to their desires, and begin to find a home in the world.
