Online in California and Washington, ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS

My particular calling in this work is people struggling with trauma. I specialize in C-PTSD, grief and loss, and spiritual/religious trauma. I approach therapy from a relational, psychodynamic model, meaning the relationship between client and therapist can be a healing vessel in your therapeutic process. I pull from attachment theory, neuroscience, somatic approaches, and utilize EMDR very often in my work. My therapeutic approach also draws from my personality, which integrates humor, playfulness, and authenticity. I am now licensed in both California and Washington and am accepting WA & CA clients virtually.

In my work with clients, I have focused on unresolved grief, life transitions, anxiety, depression, abuse and trauma, issues with spirituality, mind/body connection, perinatal issues, and relationship concerns. I'm active in session and believe that we all have an inherent desire to heal and grow.

My practice respects all aspects of people including race, ethnicity, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, religion, body size, and ability. I strive to make my practice as safe and supportive for all.
