Counseling survivors of domestic violence is a secondary focus area of mine. For years, I've volunteered at a domestic violence organization and counseled survivors of domestic violence in clinical settings.Trauma underpins my areas of clinical expertise. I accept Premera, Regence Aetna, Oxford, United, Oscar, Cigna, and Optum insurances.
My Background and Approach
If you're looking for someone who can help you make sense of the struggle, I’m here to hold that space. I hope to be a co-investigator with you. I view therapy as a creative, interactive, and intensive process. A prior client once described therapy as, “all the lights turning on.” My role as a therapist is to help you gain further clarity and understanding. I am an attachment-based, relational therapist so I bring myself into sessions. Also, important to note about my clinical style is that it is integrative, and I pull from the following theories: attachment, polyvagal, somatic, and behavioral. I tailor what I can provide in therapy based on your specific needs. Once we build a working relationship together, I can strategize with you about how best to meet your therapy goals. I draw from a mix of behavioral strategies as well as somatic ones to provide relief. Longer-term solutions often involve a mix of trauma processing, medication (sometimes), and an agency for change.
