Pacific Northwest Psychotherapy

My practice draws from psychodynamic and psychoanalytic theory (specifically British Object Relations), family systems theory, and even Buddhist philosophy. I believe, first and foremost, that one must feel deeply understood before thinking and introspection can evolve. I listen as closely as I can to you, reflect what I hear, and offer a trained perspective that can be helpful. One of the most important aspects of what I offer is to address what is being expressed both explicitly and implicitly (between the lines). The depth of this work often has significant effect and includes a myriad of emotions.

People often experience relief in having the help and the capacity to navigate their thoughts and feelings. Because my approach is inclusive and paced to fit the needs of each individual, many people experience a greater sense of personal freedom, intimacy, and creativity over time. Session frequency is one to five times per week, depending on your needs and the acuity of your symptoms. Meetings are available in person or via telehealth.
