Welcome to Sober SoulTide, a coaching program uniquely designed for those seeking not just sobriety but a transformative lifestyle change.

Coming to the realization that you are facing challenges that cannot be remedied on your own may feel confusing, frightening, and overwhelming. I offer empathy, compassion, and a safe space to explore the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and barriers to self-fulfillment. My holistic approach focuses on increasing your overall wellness as you work towards overcoming unhealthy life patterns that have left you feeling stuck and defeated.

I provide individual therapy to older adolescents and adults of all ages. I am drawn to working with individuals who want to resolve issues stemming from childhood and or adult trauma adversities. The areas I most work with are trauma and somatic related disorders, depression, mood and schizoaffective disorders, ADHD and learning difficulties, interpersonal relationship skills, narcissistic abuse, phase of life issues, and spiritual concerns/issues. Furthermore, I am passionate to assist individuals who are suffering with health issues, traumatic brain injury, and strokes to overcome mental and physical barriers.

I use a compassionate, holistic, person-centered approach because I recognize that you are the expert on you, and that exploring vulnerability began with you choosing to reach out for support. Because you are an individual with your own collection of needs and goals, I draw on several practices and modalities, including: Strengths-based Therapy; Narrative Therapy; Experiential Therapy; Somatic Therapy; nonviolent communication; personality typing; core values; identifying and holding boundaries; processing personal, social, and cultural roles; and achieving your best Identity of Self.

Therapy is a process of self-discovery and self-awareness.

Accepting New Clients in MAY 2024. Are you looking for a compassionate and socially conscious therapist who provides trauma-informed care? Then we might be a good fit to work together! Sometimes we need guidance to resolve our conflicts and difficulties. Talking through our thoughts and putting words to our deeply held emotions can give us a sense of relief, clarity, and direction. This is what I offer in therapy.

Are you concerned about your child? Does your child struggle with: anxiety, feeling sad, behavioral outbursts, difficulties falling asleep or staying asleep, problems at school, low grades? Is the stress affecting your family? I am here for you! I work with children, teens and families to find solutions that can help the whole family live a healthy life and deal with the challenges that we deal with daily. I believe in healing through playing, being creative and talk therapy. I advocate for children and teens who need that extra support in school.

I have always had a love for the process of therapy, mental health and wellness practices including mind-body techniques. I have incorporated these passions as an occupational therapist in the inpatient mental health and school settings and as a counseling intern in community mental health.

I am passionate about working with couples who are struggling with conflict resolution and communication. I enjoy teaching couples new skills that can help them have the relationship they have always hoped to achieve. I also find it rewarding to work with adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression and trauma. I also enjoy supervising new clinicians as they work toward their license. I currently teach and supervise in the MAP program of Seattle University. I have my PSYPACT certificate and am able to see clients from any PSYPACT state for telehealth.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process and that the client steers the direction. Internal motivation and a willingness to ask yourself the difficult questions are essential to success. The beauty is that the power lies in your hands at all times. I am happy to help facilitate the process and smooth the path along your way. I have training in cognitive behavioral therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (both the original and radically open subsets), holistic health, humanistic approaches, and existential approaches.

My goal is to reconnect you with the wisdom and depth in your life that make all problems workable.

My practice is LGBTQ-affirmative and welcomes diversity of all kinds. I have two offices. One is located in the cozy, historical neighborhood of Wilburton and the other is located in Wallingford on Lake Union on houseboat Grace.

Let’s work together to better your communication, resolve conflict, create a stronger, more secure attachment, and learn how to express and receive your emotional and sexual needs. I support all relationship dynamics and structures, especially LGBTQIA+, kink, BDSM, and polyamorous/ENM.

I am now offering ketamine assisted therapy in my practice. I have an online ketamine group starting March 25, 2024! Is this you?

I offer skillful therapy with warmth, gentleness, humor, and an interactive, down to earth style.

I work with adolescent and adult individuals, couples, and groups. This work is about igniting what works, what is strong and beautiful in us, as much as it is about resolving old hurt and compassionately holding the difficulties of life. Therapy can facilitate powerful shifts creating greater room for happiness, authenticity and a deeper sense of purpose and meaning.
