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
