Welcome
I am a Seattle-based psychotherapist specializing in the treatment of:
Trauma, loss and painful childhood experiences
Perinatal/postpartum anxiety and depression
Racial/ethnic identity and internalized oppression
The thread that connects all of my work is a desire to help people show up authentically for all that life has to offer, and the full range of human experience. I believe that no human life is without pain, and while pain does not have intrinsic meaning, it can be an opportunity to open to greater self-understanding and a deeper connection with others.
Because we bring our whole selves to therapy, we inevitably address a variety of interconnected concerns. My areas of expertise include
Depression
Anxiety, stress, and sleep
Exploring the impact of racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, ableism, transphobia, and other forms of oppression
Racial/ethnic identity development
Letting go of shame and perfectionism
Resolving painful childhood experiences and PTSD
Pregnancy loss, infant loss, abortion, and infertility
Transition to parenthood
Sexuality and sexual trauma
Relationship concerns
Healthy relationship to food and body image
Relating wisely to anger
Grief and loss
Career choice and life purpose
Spirituality and existential questions
LGBTQ+ and trans* concerns
