Psychotherapist
(she/her)
As a people-pleasing perfectionist, you dedicated so much energy toward putting others' needs before your own. But you realize that when all the performance is stripped away, you’re not sure who you really are.
This is a familiar story for my clients. Despite being hard workers, risk-takers, and loyal friends, they feel anxious and alone.
When they first come in, my clients struggle to know themselves after years of neglecting their bodies in service to others.
They feel like no matter what they do, there is something fundamentally wrong with them. They often feel they are “bad” and need to work hard to “fix themselves”.
They challenged the status quo which resulted in their exile. Now they are grieving the loss of their community and wondering what exactly went wrong.
They feel like they can’t do anything right, no matter how hard they try. They don’t know how to achieve the happy and whole life they are desperate for. Their self-confidence is tanking.
Before they came to see me, my clients saw themselves as the common denominator to all of their problems. They worried I would be just another voice telling them what to do or how to live their life. And they were pretty certain they were stuck in a pattern that would never change. The fear and powerlessness they experienced was slowly choking them out.
Like my clients, you deserve to be in control of a life you are proud of. A life where you are connected to your body, connected to your goodness, and connected to your authentic self- which is the safe space you can always come home to.
If you want to remember what it’s like to feel at home, I’d love to help you get there.
My MA is in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Trauma and Abuse from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology. I am trained in EMDR and have completed Level II training in Narrative Focused Trauma Care with The Allender Center. I am trained psychodynamically and enjoy bringing depth and attachment theories to my work, along with internal family systems and somatic practices. I utilize I-CBT/IBT for OCD treatment. My work considers how systems impact lives just as much as a person’s personal experiences. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in various non-profit settings while I traveled the world and engaged in cultures and contexts distinct from my own. I'm a curious human and love exploring new hobbies in my free time.
I work with individual adults.

“Finding yourself is not an immediately beautiful thing. It’s less meeting your soul at the mountaintop and more sorting through the debris that prevents you from seeing the path. It’s less falling into peacefulness and more confronting the inner voices that stir up self-loathing. It’s less revelations, and more honestly allowing the heaviest thoughts to simply pass without taking action that disrupts your day. I know it is counterintuitive, but finding yourself is one of the hardest things you will ever do-and it is also the most life-giving. There’s nothing else that will bring you back home to yourself”
