About My Clients
My clients struggle to know themselves after years of neglecting their bodies in service to others. They feel like no matter what they do, there is something fundamentally wrong with them. They often feel they are “bad” and need to work hard to “fix themselves”. At some point, they challenged the status quo which resulted in their exile. Now they are grieving the loss of their community and wondering what exactly went wrong.
My Background and Approach
My MA is in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Trauma and Abuse from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology. I am trained in EMDR and have completed Level II training in Narrative Focused Trauma Care with The Allender Center. I am trained psychodynamically and enjoy bringing depth and attachment theories to my work, along with internal family systems and somatic practices. My work considers how systems impact lives just as much as a person’s personal experiences.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I grew up in a world where adherence to an absolute truth forced everything into a binary category of good and bad. Thankfully, my curious mind left this judgmental stance behind. Now I love to play in the liminal spaces of uncertainty and nuance. I'm a justice-seeker and have a systems-based approach to the way I engage with the world around me. I am aware of the power and privilege I hold in addition to the ways I am marginalized. I am non-pathologizing in my therapeutic approach.
