About My Clients
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, sensitive people who have spent years adapting to stress, trauma, or relationships that taught them they had to stay guarded, responsible, or disconnected from themselves. Together, we work toward helping you feel safer in your emotions, more connected to yourself, and less stuck in survival mode.
My Background and Approach
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Seattle, Washington. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Antioch University Seattle and specialize in EMDR, parts work, attachment-focused therapy, somatic therapy, and nervous-system-informed care. I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, dissociation, relationship challenges, identity exploration, burnout, emotional overwhelm, and the lasting impacts of difficult experiences. My approach is relational, experiential, and collaborative, grounded in the belief that many of our patterns began as adaptations rather than failures. Sessions with me may include EMDR processing, nervous system and emotion education, IFS parts work, mindfulness, body awareness, creativity, humor, movement, or experimenting with new ways of expressing emotions safely. I aim to create a space where clients feel less pressured to perform and more able to show up as themselves.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe healing does not happen separate from the world around us. Our identities, relationships, communities, and environments all shape how we experience safety, stress, and belonging. I approach therapy through a relational, feminist, trauma-informed, and anti-oppressive lens while recognizing that every person's lived experience is unique. My worldview is shaped by both my clinical training and my lived experiences as someone who holds both majority and minority identites. I understand how identity and systems can impact the nervous system and sense of self, and I value creating spaces where people feel less pressure to mask, perform, or fit neatly into expectations. Outside the therapy room, I value community care, social justice work, creativity, mindfulness, and finding ways to stay meaningfully connected to the people and world around me. I believe therapy can hold depth and seriousness while still leaving room for humor, curiosity, experimentation, and being fully human.
