A Healing Place To Tell Your Story
I uniquely help clients who are seeking to recover from complex trauma, whether it stems from childhood experiences or current toxic relationships and systems that they find themselves in.
Welcome.
Providing space for clients to tell their stories while holding a vision of them being well, recovered, and moving forward are essential parts of how I engage in therapy.

I provide space for you to get to tell your story and heal.
Areas of Expertise
Narrative Focused Trauma Therapy
Narrative focused trauma therapy, also known as "story work" is a framework developed by the Allender Center in Seattle. I am trained in helping clients to write and process their past experiences in order to heal from traumatic events as well as unhealthy relational patterns that may have developed because of them.
Because therapy isn't one size fits all, I also incorporate frameworks like Internal Family Systems, Attachment Theory, and Interpersonal approaches to find an eclectic, but effective way forward for my clients.
Recovering from Emotional Abuse
Therapy can provide crucial support for individuals in emotionally abusive relationships by offering a safe space to explore their feelings and experiences. I help my clients identify patterns of abuse and empower them to develop coping strategies, enhance self-esteem, and gain clarity about their situation, ultimately leading to establishing boundaries and making informed decisions about their relationship. This process helps clients reclaim their sense of self and move towards healthier, more fulfilling connections.
"Holding space is an important and rarely discussed concept. When we hold space for someone, we bear witness to them, their stories, and their pain…
We hold the vision of the person being well, being happy, having recovered…
Having a good story to describe a person’s travails helps us to hold hands and look in the same direction.”
— Lewis Mehl-Madrona
