Online Therapy in Seattle & Washington

I specialize in a modern, somatic-based approach to resolve the trauma and childhood wounds that underlie issues like anxiety, depression and PTSD/CPTSD. For anyone searching for the best therapists in Seattle, my evidence-based approach often takes clients beyond where they were able to go with past therapies. Healing is possible for everyone.

My approach is not only effective, it can also be done from the convenience of your own home and in a way that is tailored to your own unique perspective, strengths and healing process. If you’d like to discover how I can help you finally feel good being you, please reach out for a free consultation.
