Nervous system informed therapy for anxiety, trauma healing, and childhood rooted patterns. Telehealth therapy for clients in Seattle and across Washington State. Many people come to therapy feeling deeply misunderstood in relationships, in past therapy experiences, or even within themselves. You may notice big emotional reactions, anxiety, shutting down, or patterns that feel confusing, especially when present day situations stir up old feelings. Therapy can help you make sense of what is happening and feel more grounded over time.

I work with clients who have experienced early relational wounds, ongoing invalidation, or emotional overwhelm. My approach is trauma informed and guided by an understanding of the nervous system, helping clients make sense of their reactions as meaningful responses shaped by past experiences rather than personal failures.

Clients often seek support for anxiety, trauma related stress responses, emotional overwhelm, and relationship patterns that feel hard to break. I integrate emotional regulation, gentle education about how the nervous system responds to stress, and steady support so therapy feels grounded, validating, and practical.
