I am a licensed mental health counselor in Seattle, Washington specializing in perfectionism, relationships, anxiety related disorders, C-PTSD, and life transitions. I provide trauma informed counseling to couples and adult individuals, and mentorship to therapists in training and seeking licensure. I specialize in topics related to narcissistic vulnerability, feminist therapy, and character development.
As a psychodynamic and systems therapist, I center our universal needs for connection and relatedness at the heart of the healing process. This means supporting peoples unique, individual journey for belonging within the context of relationship to their work, intimate partnership(s), as members of families and broader communities of interest or service. I enjoy helping folks explore more authenticity in relationship where able, and support them around the care needed to navigate loss, leaving, and making changes when not possible. We’ll take a strengths-based, behavioral approach to recovery and life transitions. And we’ll also gently explore the patterns, habits, and environments that sometimes contribute to your best efforts feeling stymied. I believe therapy is most nourishing when we practice being open and conscientious, respectful of a pace that helps to enhance your agency and sense of safety. And I aspire to bring compassion to the challenges, seeing recovery as an incremental process and even a way to contribute to cultural growth. I feel honored to work as a team with my clients and I hope to be in loving service to your vision of what’s meaningful, purposeful, and heartfelt for you.
