I offer a kind of therapy that doesn’t turn away from suffering.

I’m not afraid of grief, rage, shame, or the parts of us we were taught to hide. I listen with care. I witness with reverence. I stay with you in the places others couldn’t.

Together, we turn toward what hurts—not to fix it, but to tend to it with the skill, compassion, and presence it’s always deserved.

Drum sound rises on the air,
its throb, my heart.
A voice inside the beat says,
“I know you’re tired, but come.
This is the way.”

My Approach

I offer telehealth, mindfulness-based psychotherapy sessions using the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model to adults residing in Washington State. I have practiced IFS since 2014, starting my Level 1 training in 2015 and completing Level 2 in 2016. I love supporting other IFS-trained therapists and practitioners, as well as people who are brand new to IFS and curious about how it’s different than other therapy modalities.

I have advanced training in holistic, experiential, and trauma-informed modalities, including:

— Internal Family Systems
(IFS, Level 2)
— Hakomi
(Certified Hakomi Therapist)
— Gestalt
— Acceptance & Commitment
Therapy (ACT)
— Motivational Interviewing
— Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT)
— Seeking Safety
— Transgender and Gender Non-
Conforming Affirmative Mental
Health Care
— Neurodivergent-Affirming

What Therapy With Me Feels Like

I support people doing deep internal work, exploring and encountering the wilds of their minds, hearts, and psyches for the sake of growth, healing, and movement towards wholeness. This means you will not just be talking in therapy; you will also have the opportunity to have a lived experience that expands what you thought you knew about yourself. This type of work is not suitable for everyone and requires some foundational stability.

For this reason, I do not work with people who are as of yet unable to keep themselves safe.

This work can be powerful and we will modulate it based on what’s best and right for you. Most clients utilize a combination of parts work and talk therapy depending on their capacity at any given time. You set the pace. You may come into some sessions knowing exactly what part you want to explore, aware of an issue but unsure of the parts, or having no idea of what you want to work on. It’s all okay.

Sometimes I’ll offer information about patterns I’m noticing, because I believe truth, knowledge, and accurate language can be empowering—even if they’re hard to hear. I always seek consent and tread gently, and I never presume to know more about you or your experience than you do. I don’t want to define your truth. I simply share what I know, and you get to choose what to do with it.

What I’ve Witnessed

I’ve sat with people as they express deep love and care for parts of themselves they’ve hated, grieved the love those parts didn’t get, been compassionately with parts that are terrified, enraged, or suffering, released deeply held burdens, and grown their capacity to be in the breadth of their human experience. I can’t say what will happen for you, but I’ve seen this work change lives.

Boundaries & Safety

While all parts of you are welcome in our sessions together, I do expect that as adults we will both be practicing self-responsibility in our work and time together. I maintain as safe a space as possible for my clients by practicing self-responsibility and holding appropriate boundaries. I do not tolerate abusive behaviors. Together we create a container that allows all your parts to show up as they are, in everything they feel and experience, while doing no harm.
