I offer 55-minute telehealth psychotherapy sessions to adults in Washington State.

I listen, make room for your feelings and experiences, share what I know, gently encourage you into your body, and help you see the fuckery. I am invested in your healing if you are.

I am highly skilled at guiding people into relationship with all of their parts. It’s easy for me to bring love to the parts you hate most because I’ve learned how to love the parts in me that I hated.

Therapy can hurt. I’ve yet to find a book on self-love that honestly describes how brutally painful it can be to grow love from an absence of love.

When we bring love to a place that’s lived without it, we touch the heartbreak of not having had it. Grief is an integral part of healing.

I will ask you to feel grief, and I will be with you in the heartbreak. I may cry too.

I will ask you to turn towards shame with compassion, and I will bring my love and care there too.

I will ask you to sit with your fear and learn from it. Don’t worry. I will teach you lots of tools for doing it.

We may reckon with trauma during our work together. I have yet to meet an untraumatized person.

Trauma work tends to scare people. That’s fair. But it can also bring tremendous relief because you don’t have to be alone in it anymore. You are already traumatized, my dear.

It’s also part of my job to ensure you are ready at each step we take.

I can help you become the safe adult you never had. I cannot make up for the fact that you didn’t have one.

I do all of this with you because you asked for my help healing, and this is the path to healing that I know.

If you are abusive or currently unsafe, you deserve help and support too, and I genuinely want you to get it. However, I am not the right therapist for you. Please find someone who is.

I do not want to work with abusive people. This does not mean you don’t sometimes get mad, lose your temper, or say a shitty thing. It means those behaviors are not part of a larger pattern seeking power and control over other people. It means you care deeply about any hurt you’ve caused and want to make it right. You want to show up well, even if you don’t always know how.

I’m great with moms who get mad. I am a mom who gets mad. Getting mad is not abusive unless it’s abusive.

If you sometimes lose your shit and rage because you are being abused, and then are gaslit into believing you are the abuser, that doesn’t make you abusive. I’m great with people who’ve been made to believe they are abusive by their abuser.

I do not provide services to people who are actively suicidal or homicidal, or who are experiencing delusions that interfere with their ability to stay connected to shared reality. If you need a higher level of care than I can offer in my telehealth practice, please contact your current provider or local crisis line for help finding appropriate care.

This does not mean you don’t sometimes scream, hit yourself, or otherwise self-injure during meltdowns. It doesn’t mean you don’t sometimes wish you didn’t exist or could disappear.

It also does not mean you aren’t struggling. Of course you are struggling. That’s why you are here.
