When we understand our past and present selves, and begin to experience the full complex richness of our lives, we are freed to grow and change naturally. As your therapist, I will help you through this process with openness, curiosity, and respect for your individual experience.

I approach psychotherapy with a relational and humanistic perspective, using the connection and working relationship between client and therapist to facilitate healing. Depending on your needs, we can utilize a variety of treatment modes including emotion-focused, mindfulness and mind-body therapies. We will work together to address your concerns and to explore possible new ways of being.

I received my M.A. in Existential-Phenomenological Psychology from Seattle University in 2000.

I work with individuals, couples, and teens experiencing depression, anxiety, panic, post-traumatic stress, anger, confusion and grief as well as issues around chronic pain/illness, life transitions, LGBTQ identity, ethnic and cultural identity, neurological differences, and work and school stress. I strive to help clients embrace their experience and strengths, discover value and meaning in their lives, and find new healthy and compassionate ways to be with themselves and others.
