About Therapy

Sometimes life knocks us down. Other times, it wears us down slowly. In moments of pain, loss, or confusion, there is also an opportunity — to reflect on where you’ve been, understand where you are, and begin moving toward where you want to be. Choosing to be seen and heard is a courageous step toward healing.

In therapy, I work alongside you to explore how your past experiences and relationships have shaped who you are and how you relate to yourself, others, and the world around you. Within a safe, attuned relationship, we can begin to heal past wounds, recognize patterns that may be holding you back, and create new, more fulfilling ways of being.

My approach is psychodynamic, rooted in depth psychology, relational psychoanalysis, and attachment theory. I have additional training in trauma and abuse through the Allender Center, where I am certified in Narrative Focused Trauma Care, and with Janina Fisher through her Complex Trauma Certification Program. I also integrate principles from Internal Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy—honoring the power of being deeply heard while recognizing you as the expert in your own life.

I offer both telehealth and in-person sessions at a Seattle office near Woodland Park. I would love to meet with you to see if we are a good fit! Please contact me to learn more.

I welcome individuals from all backgrounds and identities, addressing issues including:

• Trauma and abuse - childhood trauma, sexual abuse, narcissistic abuse, religious trauma, racial trauma, etc.

• Relational and attachment challenges

• Grief and loss

• Depression & anxiety

• Life transitions

Story Work

I also offer dedicated Story Work coaching, a focused process that engages specific narratives from your childhood. Our work is tailored to your needs, but typically begins with an invitation to write a childhood story that has shaped you—where you may still feel stuck or long for greater freedom.

Groups

Occasionally, I offer online Story Work groups where participants share their stories, connect in meaningful ways, and explore greater freedom in their relational patterns. Please reach out to learn more.
