    My Services

    I provide individual counseling for children, adolescents, and adults. I offer telehealth sessions and see clients in person at my Kirkland office. My primary modality is Lifespan Integration, and I have specialized training in trauma and grief.

    I am a Lifespan Integration consultant and certified therapist and a Washington State supervisor.

    Trauma

    Unresolved trauma tells you that the traumatic event happened before, it is still happening, and it will happen again. Lifespan Integration therapy helps to resolve the trauma and releases the body-mind system from the endless loop of trying to process that overwhelming event.

    PTSD

    Posttraumatic stress disorder, also known as PTSD, can occur after a experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event.

    Complex PTSD (CPTSD) can occur when multiple or chronic traumatic events occur during childhood.

    Unresolved PTSD or CPTSD tells you that the trauma happened before, it is still happening, and will happen again, and you need to run, fight, or freeze to survive. Resolving the trauma using Lifespan Integration therapy diminishes the PTSD symptoms and enables you to live without fear of being triggered by current events.

    Anxiety

    Anxiety tells you that something bad is going to happen and you will be alone and will not be able to handle it. Lifespan Integration therapy calms your nervous system and enables you to replace anxious thoughts with reasonable options and empowered actions.

    Depression

    Depression tells you that you are alone, the daily tasks of living seem impossible, and it will be this way forever. Lifespan Integration addresses depression through gently changing your nervous system. As your neural networks are re-wired, your depressive symptoms diminish, and you begin to find motivation and pleasure in life again.

     

    Grief

    Grief and loss are a part of all of our lives, but the impacts of grief and loss are often not acknowledged by our society.

    Grief tells us that our loss is so big that there is no way forward. It feels like we will be stuck in this pain and hopelessness forever. Lifespan Integration therapy will not take away your grief, but it will help to reduce the sense of being overwhelmed and allow you to process your grief and loss in a healthy way while in the presence of a caring therapist.

     

    Relationship Issues

    Do you feel like your relationship is at a standstill? Are you and your partner stuck in the same argument loop every night? Do you feel like you and your partner are drifting away? Do you desire more intimacy between you and your partner?
