In practice since 2001

I am dedicated to helping people rediscover a true connection to themselves so they can live life from an authentic place. This is a process of peeling back the layers to find the true nature of what lies underneath the anxiety and distress that can accompany day-to-day living. Depression, stress, self-judgment and limiting beliefs keep us from living our full potential and experiencing life to its fullest extent. I have over 20 years of experience as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the State of Washington.

I work from a Contemporary Psychodynamic and relational paradigm including Interpersonal and Attachment theories. I am trauma-informed, with certification as a Level II Trauma Informed Therapist. Mindfulness is included as an essential part of my work and a somatic approach to bring awareness to the body-mind connection. For people who are truly dedicated to finding deeper meaning in the life they are living, I offer ancestral clearing, which is a body-focused (somatic) approach to healing. Given my experience, I work with a broad range of issues. With a specialty in depression and trauma, a somatic focus helps to heal body, mind and spirit. Through my work as an adjunct professor at Bastyr University, I have experience with a holistic approach to health and healing. 

It's quoted that "the hardest work you will ever do is the work you will do on yourself." I think this is true and I admire the courage it takes for one to enter into the process of growth and self-discovery that is therapy. I believe in the ability for all of us to heal and change ... no matter your experiences, background or predispositions. I am passionate about this work and I feel honored to be part of your process.
