Whether you want to examine your relationship to archetypes and epic tales, investigate the mundane and extraordinary beauty in doing the dishes, or delve into your style of relating to another being: bring all of it - it is welcome and deserving of your attention. Fundamentally, I am fascinated by people - our stories, our journeys and our capacities for grace and awe.

For me, “psychotherapy has to do with…people playing together.”* My therapeutic approach is grounded in practicality, metaphor, and paradox.

My role is to co-create a therapeutic container of vital interactions that supports your goals. Vitalization, “the engendering of novel experience, the ignition of an enlivening internal process that can come about through deep engagement with the other”* lies at the foundation of my work as a psychotherapist. I make no guarantees concerning outcomes or results. I’m here to accompany your journey in the unknown, supporting your process in the sacred and the profane. 

I specialize in working with couples and adults who are curious (or especially not curious) about their landscape and humaning through it. I have worked with a wide variety of clients in a range of contexts, including working with individuals, couples and facilitating group work. My therapeutic approach is based on a foundation of curiosity and bringing presence to what is alive and available in the therapeutic dynamic. Often this manifests by taking a systemic macro-view while attending to what is directly present in the dynamic. Cultivating space, bringing an awareness to attention and developing a capacity for experience often arises in my work.

Using a direct, relational, person-centric approach, I pull from a variety of modalities. These include a psychodynamic Depth oriented approach, Buddhist psychotherapy, existential and somatic theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and a deep alignment with principles of ecopsychology and wilderness therapy. 

I am a graduate of Pacifica Graduate Institute with a master’s in clinical psychology with an emphasis in Depth Psychology, and I also hold a master’s of science from New York University in Construction Management. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Associate in Washington state (License # MG61378048 : NPI # 1952019275) and my supervisor is Nicole Greenwald (LH60600659).
