About My Clients
I see adults, couples, and adolescents online and in the Maple Leaf neighborhood of North Seattle. Some of my areas of specialization include women’s mental health, recovering from harmful effects of patriarchy (all genders), adult children of Narcissistic or borderline parents, emotionally immature parents, or alcoholic parents, recovery from childhood abuse (emotional, physical, or sexual), recovery from abusive or controlling romantic relationships, and stress/trauma in academia.
My Background and Approach
My work is aimed at depth rather than quick fixes. My goals for you are not just reducing anxiety, but growing courage in the face of uncertainty or instability. Not just feeling less depressed, but experiencing aliveness that comes from connecting with your core self. Not just making a seemingly impossible decision, but growing strength to hold the many paradoxes life hands us. Not just feeling less lonely, but stepping towards others in faith that even the most hidden parts of you are worthy of love and care. In this process, we will look at how your relational patterns have both benefited and held you back. I will invite your reflections on how societal structures such as patriarchy, white supremacy, and cis/heteronormativity have impacted your being. And I will encourage you to expand your capacity for both joy and pain. I hold a Master's in Counseling Psychology from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology, and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the Wright Institute.
