I draw on several approaches for treatment including EMDR, mindfulness-based CBT, and traditional talk therapy, tailoring my practice toward the needs of each person. I use a humanistic attachment lens informed by interpersonal neurobiology. I primarily work with people who have complex intersections of identity and those who have experienced trauma. The trauma may surface through symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, or difficulty managing relationships. In my master’s training I have done research on treating trauma and the various ways it impacts individuals, adoption issues, and issues relating to complex identities such as transracial adoption. I work with a lot of individuals who have experienced complex trauma, developmental trauma, a single traumatic event, emotional neglect, and physical neglect.

Instead of focusing on pathology, I prefer to highlight people’s strengths and resilience. I try to tap into people’s desire to self-actualize and express their authentic self, recognizing their capacity to grow, change, and make meaning. I foster a judgment free space where individuals can work at a pace that is appropriate for them. I incorporate mindfulness practices that help people tolerate uncomfortable feelings, achieve integration, and fully accept every part of themselves, including what they may view as bad (radical self-acceptance).

I got my bachelors in Spanish at the University of Washington and a master’s in the art of counseling psychology from the Seattle School of Theology and Psychology. I am an avid food lover and can never get enough gardening.
