Being human is challenging. Am I enough? Too much? Feelings of anxiety and inadequacy can interfere with one’s ability to connect with the self and others. Personal growth requires integration of the mind, body, and soul. Understanding past wounds, exploring difficult emotions and identifying behavioral patterns are steps to creating more fulfilling relationships and providing relief from pain and hurt in one’s life. With empathy, acceptance, and openness, I aim to be a guide along your path toward self-discovery, authenticity, and belonging. *I am an LGBTQIA+ Kink/Poly Ally, I believe in social justice and racial equity.

We live in an overly stimulated world even while hiding from a virus, with constant choices regarding how we spend our time and energy and procure our needs. The amount of content we engage with daily has most people overloaded and unfocused. Which means, most of the time, we are not truly listened to or seen. For some, stepping into therapy is the first time they have experienced being heard and seen, wholly, genuinely, and comprehensively. The initial experience of being heard, can have a profound effect on one’s life. That is where we will begin. In a space with presence, non-judgmental empathic listening, and acceptance.

Are you feeling stuck? Do you feel numb, unable to find joy in things that once made you happy? When we're struggling, it can spill out onto our relationships, showing up in ways that create more issues. In our efforts to make change, we may try to solve them by reading self-help books or talking to our closest friends, only to find the problem is still a problem. That’s where I can help. Together we’ll identify goals and collaborate on a treatment plan. The beginning of any journey or change begins with acceptance, the proper treatment, and a healthier relationship and connection with ourselves and the world around us.

Are you struggling with over-functioning, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and burnout? If you invested in time and space to explore, heal, and grow, how might life be different? How might you be different? In the past, you have constantly prioritized others' needs and are now feeling exhausted, resentful, and frustrated. The perfect image you maintain for the outside world comes at the expense of yourself. Internally, you feel numb, insecure, lonely, and lost. You are tired of feeling this way and ready to change this unsustainable pattern once and for all.

As human being, I know that life situations could be difficult to manage by our own. However, past traumas, bad relationships (toxic/domestic abuse), stress, divorces, financial struggles, mental health disorders, depression, grieves...DON"T have to determine our life moving forward. IT IS POSSIBLE to recover from those big stones that we find in our life path! I love to work with my clients from a healing/recovery perspective and none judgmental attitude to help them get a better quality of life.

Are you looking for a beginning, that pays attention to the subtle healing and shifts that you are making and wanting to bring into the world? Often times, the areas of our life that are not working well are guided by trauma informed emotional patterns and feeling habits, that pull us away from self trust, progress and healing. Fear and the energy it holds can unconsciously play a role in self sabotage, anxiety and counter manifesting. Using expressive arts, IFS, food science, poetry, spiritual awareness and a holistic approach, I can help you connect to your mind/body intuition. I also provide walk and talk therapy in Seattle.

They love you immensely, but friends and family can be hard to talk to when they don't understand "why you don't get better." Many of my clients have experienced depression, anxiety, and trauma symptoms for years. They're used to being judged and judging themselves. But that doesn't help us get better. I bring empathic, nonjudgmental understanding to our sessions so I can see what it's like inside your world. When you're ready, I offer evidence-based coping strategies and treatments (like mindfulness and EMDR) to help you feel better as quickly as I know how. And once you're feeling better, you'll gain insights into your issues.

My people are the ones who were picked on or picked last. I love working with geeks, devs, tech leads, managers, engineers, and scientists. Helping people find sense and meaning in a life filled with mindless meetings, unending emails, and open seating is my calling. I get the people whose fun became work and then the joy was replaced with worries. Whether they are hopefully going to board game meetups to make friends, getting bad reviews from direct reports, or trying to juggle multiple partners, I can help them find a path through the struggle. These are people who want life to be better, but can’t seem to crack the code.

I work with people individually, and in relationships that struggle to effectively communicate their needs. Because of how they were brought up, or conditioned through experience, they might have vastly different ways of showing up in relationships, especially through conflict. We all want to work on what drives our behavior so that we can better understand ourselves and each other. This allows us to be vulnerable with one another and experience our real selves, so we can connect and love on a much deeper and more meaningful and satisfying level.

I work with individuals who want to make sense of their emotions, heal from trauma, and build authentic relationships with their loved ones. Many of my clients are brave change-makers, the first in their family to break multi-generational patterns. They wonder how to forgive, cast away anger, and move forward while at the same time standing up for themselves and their needs. They want tools for immediate relief, but they want to go beyond managing symptoms. They know that this work is so much bigger than themselves and that they are creating a new legacy for future generations

Online Therapists
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialized therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
