I entered the field in 2015 and practiced as a medical social worker prior to becoming a psychotherapist. My approach is influenced by these experiences working with those living with PTSD and chronic/acute illnesses.
I use a psychoanalytic approach to therapy with a particular focus on the psyche-soma (body-mind) connection.
I am Level II Hakomi graduate and a psychoanalyst-in-training at the
Northwestern Psychoanalytic Society and Institute (NPSI).
Through the University of Washington I provide supervision to graduate students as a Practicum Field Instructor.
