Great to meet you!

Hey there! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with a Masters in Counseling from City University of Seattle. I have also been trained in EMDR, a technique for processing trauma. I'm here to support those who've faced sexual and relational trauma, concentrating on healing attachment wounds and navigating tricky interpersonal relationships. Looking forward to helping you on your journey to healing and growth!

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy revolves around building a secure and understanding environment for you. I believe in teamwork, where we jointly delve into your emotions, thoughts, and hurdles. I aim to provide a space for you to authentically connect with yourself by offering warmth, genuineness, and understanding. My goal is to assist you in healing attachment wounds and improving how you connect with others. Let's collaborate to reach your objectives and foster positive change.

What you can expect from me

Clients can anticipate leaving our sessions with a deeper understanding of themselves and their experiences. Together, we'll work towards setting achievable goals that promote personal growth and healing. My aim is to create a warm and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable exploring your thoughts and emotions. As we progress, you'll likely gain tools to manage challenges, enhance your relationships, and foster a stronger sense of resilience.
