My Approach to Helping
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 in-person sessions and telehealth (when appropriate).
