My Approach to Helping

My lenses include Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Somatic Experiencing (traumahealing.org), Internal Family Systems, Organic Intelligence (organicintelligence.org), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. I came to Marriage and Family Therapy after working with adults for over ten years as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and coach, supporting the resolution of chronic fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses through body-based processing, movement, grounding work, and mindfulness. I am passionate about applying this experiential work to therapy with individuals (with OHP or Cigna) and couples (offered on a sliding scale for private pay clients) at Cascade Wellness Center, where I am a student intern completing requirements for a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy under the direct supervision of Lupita Makowski, LCSW.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe all symptoms, maladaptive behaviors, and limitations make sense in context, that healing comes from support (not from trying harder, being saved, or making it on your own) and that we are fundamentally good. In my life outside of work, I am a toddler parent, love being outside (hiking, backpacking, gardening, and paddle boarding), doing amateur ceramics, reading, and chilling with my husband, friends, and family. My lens is anti-capitalist, anti-racist, and queer.
