Couples and Individuals. 

Welcome. I am a therapist practicing under the supervision of Dr. Carlson. I seek to honor and hold the space of an Anam Cara, a friend of the soul, in witnessing, encouraging and holding space for each person’s unique development, healing and unfolding. I believe that as we engage the journey of liberating ourselves from limiting beliefs and patterning of past wounds, our lives and interactions with the world become increasingly more an expression of our inner truth – a gift to ourselves and the world. Walking alongside others in this journey is very fulfilling work for me.  

With a deep commitment to equity, I am interested in the ways that our personal healing processes contribute to our collective wellness – as we heal, our relationships heal. As our relationships heal, our community heals. 

I have completed training in Emotionally Focused Couple’s Therapy (EFCT), and work within this model is the model for couple’s therapy.  EFCT is a highly effective form of relational therapy based on attachment science. Our primary attachment relationships can be a source of great support and resiliency as well as frustration and stress when there is more disconnection than connection. By supporting people in deepening understanding of their own emotions as well as their partners,  EFCT  helps relationships move from the dance of disconnection into greater connection and fulfillment.  

My approach would be considered integrative (applying various models) and somatic (working with the ways hurts and traumas have been stored in our body). I work from a psychodynamic and object relational lens, taking into account the impact of early life experiences on our interactions with others and the world. Particular therapeutic areas of interests include trauma, adoption, spirituality, mind-body and women’s issues.  I work with people of all genders ages 13+ and couples, LGBTQ+ affirming. Inclusive to neurodiverse populations and people of varying cognitive abilities. Hablo español y estoy disponible para trabajar en una manera bilingüe. I have studied with Anam Cara, Elder Kaia Svien and the Cultural Wellness Center (CWC) and value working within the CWC’s cultural wellness framework.
