Is There More?
Is there more for me?
Is there more to this life?
Is there more to this relationship?
We live in a society that encourages and often demands that we hide parts of ourselves to keep up appearances of success, happiness, and perfection. What would it feel like to live into the fullness of the human experience? The mess, the beauty, the pain, the joy, the shame, the anger, the desire, the disappointment, the wonder, and the fear.
Therapy is an Invitation to Listen to Your Life.
Our lives are speaking. In both big and small ways. I invite my clients to feel the whole of their experiences and their bodies. From the warmth in their chest to the knot in their stomach. From the expansion and lightness of their body as they engage in life-giving activities to the tension of their muscles as they engage with that person in their life. Imagine what could be possible if we were present to our lives with curiosity and compassion.
Therapy is an Invitation to be Seen, Heard, and Known
Initiating therapy for yourself, or as a couple, is an act of courage and love. It’s vulnerable to acknowledge our pain and our desire for more connection, attunement, and belonging. As a therapist my hope is to co-create a safe place with clients where their hidden parts are fully welcomed. A place where we can allow the spectrum of our emotions and stories to move through us instead of defining us. A place where we can wrestle with discomfort and find awe in our capacity for resilience.
Therapy is an Invitation to More.
Therapy allows us to take up space inside of our own unique stories and lives with curiosity and compassion. This leads us to the more we are looking for. More honest and meaningful connection to ourselves and others. More wholeness as we move from places of fear and splintered parts to one of integration, love, and spaciousness. And ultimately, more hope for what is possible for us all.
I work with kids, teens, adults, and couples and practice cultural, sexual, and gender-affirming care. My therapeutic practices are informed by systemic, attachment, and embodiment theory as well as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Narrative Therapy and Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy. When working with couples I incorporate Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Relational Life Therapy and research from The Gottman Institute.
In addition to being a therapist, I am someone who loves to learn, finds rest and strength in being outside and tending to things with my hands. I love stories in all their forms and can often be found reading, listening to podcasts, watching shows, and talking with others. I believe in holding the tension of the very real pains of this world with the radical act of awe as a means of growth and survival. I value my roles as a wife, mother, daughter, sister, dog mom, and friend.
I hold a Master of Arts in Couples and Family Therapy from Seattle University and have a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus on Care of the Soul.
