My Approach to Therapy

I help people in Seattle and across Washington with anxiety, burnout, trauma, perfectionism and eating disorder recovery. I view therapy as a collaborative, client-driven process guided by your goals and pace. My role is to offer insight, gentle challenge, and support as you navigate life’s complexities and reconnect with your inner wisdom. My approach is warm, calm, and integrative, helping you cultivate self-compassion, release old patterns, and build a life that feels authentic and aligned with your values. I draw from holistic and evidence-based practices, including polyvagal theory, parts work (internal family systems, IFS), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), somatic approaches, attachment theory, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), to support healing through the mind-body connection.

My Practice & Services

I help young adults with anxiety, burnout, depression, life transitions, perfectionism, and eating disorder recovery using ACT, CBT, IFS, EMDR and attachment theory. In person sessions are located in Eastlake Seattle and available virtually across WA.

How Psychotherapy Can Help

Therapy, with the support of the therapeutic relationship, can help you gain clarity, understand your patterns, and build the skills to manage emotions and stress more effectively. It provides a safe space to process past wounds, explore your identity and values, and reconnect with your intuition. Through guidance and support, you can strengthen your confidence, make intentional choices, and create healthier relationships with yourself and others. Therapy helps you move from feeling stuck or overwhelmed to feeling grounded, resilient, and more in control of your life.

Groups I Work With

Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, depression, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, eating disorder recovery, or a sense that they’ve lost touch with who they are. You may find yourself overthinking, people-pleasing, or feeling emotionally numb. Maybe you’ve learned to push through and keep going, but it’s no longer working the way it used to. If this sounds like you, therapy with me is designed to help you move from surviving to thriving. I offer support, tools, and insight to help you feel empowered again.
