I am a psychotherapist in the Ballard area. I work primarily with adults in individual therapy. My approach is based in Relational therapy and attachment-based, psychodynamic and trauma-informed theories. You may long to be accepted as you are—fully, without judgment or restriction—and to feel truly seen, heard, and understood. Maybe you’ve noticed old relational patterns, shaped in childhood, repeating in your adult life, leaving you feeling disconnected, anxious, or stuck. You may want healing from wounds formed in past relationships and a new way of relating to yourself and others. You want to feel more genuine, confident, and free to live the life you truly desire. I hold a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology. My approach is grounded in Relational therapy and supported by psychodynamic, attachment-based, and trauma-informed theories. If our wounds are formed in relationships, they can be healed within them. Together, we’ll explore your story with compassion, uncover patterns, and begin healing what has kept you from the life you want. I provide telehealth sessions only.

I consider therapy to be an alliance in which you and I work together to relieve unbearable aloneness, discover your strengths, encourage your innate strivings toward health and build new confidence in feeling and being in relationship. Every person has a need to be known and heard in an authentic, non-judgmental way. Every person has wisdom about themselves and what is needed to heal their lives. And fundamental to this, every person has the natural capacity for healing, for love and self esteem. In our work I may use a variety of tools and techniques to help move the therapy process but I recognize that change comes from the freedom to be and find oneself in the company of a trusted Other. There have been many influences on my thinking about therapy, most prominently my own life journey of healing transformation. Along the way Existentialist thought, Buddhist practicality, Relational, Experiential & Humanistic therapies have all made their marks. Participating in Nature?s cycles of change and renewal through gardening has profoundly influenced me. My experience as a parent, as a partner, as an artist has illuminated for me the endless horizons of human possibility. I will always talk with you about exercises or techniques I think might be helpful and, because our work is a collaboration, your agreement, choice, input and feedback is a necessary part of the dialogue of working together. Finding a therapist can be an intimidating process. If you would like an in-person meeting to decide whether I might be a good fit for you, I am happy to offer a 30 minute meeting at no charge. When you call make sure to specify if you are requesting this.

You deserve to feel empowered during your journey of self-discovery. My experience integrating a social justice lens into my practice allows me to recognize your identities and how they may impact your experiences. I strive to take the mystery out of therapy and encourage openness and honesty during our work together. My therapeutic style embodies the belief that our environment, society, and the people that we come into contact with can play a variety of roles in how we interact with the world. I primarily utilize systemic, person-centered modalities while integrating skills and strengths-based approaches that fit best for you and your individual goals. I believe that your interests and passions should be celebrated and emphasized in your therapeutic journey. I am personally and professionally familiar with geek and gaming culture and encourage you to bring these interests into your treatment if you also belong to these communities. I invite you to reach out to me to learn more and to see if we may be a good fit.

I am a psychotherapist in the Ballard area working with children, adolescents, and adults. I work with clients around relationships, anxiety, depression, trauma (past and present), self-esteem, and other psychological concerns. My approach to therapy is relational and psychodynamic, which means that I am interested in the ways that our relationships have shaped both how we interact with others as well as how we have come to understand ourselves. I believe that therapy is a unique relational process and an intentional space where we can begin to explore some of these patterns together so that you can move towards a more integrated sense of self, and more confidence and fulfillment in your relationships.

Are you feeling a sense of increased anxiety and obsessive thinking? Are you struggling with self-doubt and inner conflict?

The way to achieve progress is by building awareness, having the courage to problem-solve, and committing to and engaging in a new plan. I am a licensed independent clinical social worker with 18 years of experience in treating anxiety, distress, trauma, eating issues, and obsessive compulsion (OCD). I believe in empowering my clients to face their fears, supporting and empowering them along the way, while challenging them to thrive. We cannot manage our anxiety and distress alone.
