I no longer offer life coaching — my focus is fully on therapy. Many people who consider coaching are actually looking for what therapy provides: a deeper space to explore emotions, heal past experiences, and reconnect with themselves. Therapy supports not just goals for the future but also the underlying patterns, beliefs, and body-mind connection that influence lasting change.

Research shows that online therapy absolutely is effective. A recent meta-analysis with 17 studies found that online cognitive-behavioral therapy, for example, was just as effective in treating depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and panic disorder. Similar results have been found in attachment-based and psychodynamic online therapy services. Also, research shows that the therapeutic alliance remains a key component of creating successful outcomes in psychotherapy.

Building a strong therapeutic alliance is just as crucial in online therapy as it is in face-to-face treatment. That said, many clients report that they find it easier (and faster) to build that crucial connection virtually. The right online therapist is still skilled in essential counseling techniques, including active listening, validation, gentle confrontation, and unconditional positive regard. 

Whether you’re a first-time client or have worked with mental health providers in the past, most people can benefit from online therapy. The following demographics tend to fare well with online treatment:

• Working professionals
• College students
• New and busy parents
• Clients living in remote areas
• Clients who enjoy the convenience of online therapy

I provide online counseling in Seattle, WA and Washington State and mental health coaching in the United States.

Finding the right therapist is about fit. I work best with adults who want more than just coping skills — they’re looking for deeper shifts in their life and a place to feel truly supported. My approach combines somatic therapy, relational work, and trauma-informed care, helping you connect with both your mind and body.

I specialize in supporting people experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, and life transitions, as well as those in the LGBTQIA+ community, adults exploring ADHD diagnosed later in life, and individuals healing from grief or emotionally immature parents. Many of my clients are also drawn to working on body neutrality, self-compassion, and building more authentic connections.

If you’re seeking emotional support from a warm, inclusive therapist in Seattle or anywhere in Washington State, I may be a good fit. I offer a free consultation call so you can see if my approach feels right for you.

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all timeline. Length depends on your goals, history, and how often we meet. The timeline looks different for everyone. Some clients feel noticeable changes within a few months, and others continue therapy longer-term as they explore deeper shifts and integration. Progress is often non-linear—ups and downs are normal and still part of change and healing.

I’m currently accepting Premera and Lifewise insurance. If you’re interested in working together but don’t have one of those plans, that’s totally fine!

I offer out-of-network services, and I can provide you with billing information to submit to your insurance for reimbursement at their out-of-network rate. These are known as superbills. Depending on your insurance plan, you could get reimbursed for part or even all of your session fees.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes  related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

It’s common to experience strong emotions during and after EMDR: things like sudden images, body sensations (tension, heart racing), emotional release, or vivid dreams. Fatigue or emotional sensitivity afterward is also typical — these are signs your nervous system is processing deep material.

Self-care helps you integrate EMDR work more safely. Some helpful practices include:

• Scheduling sessions when you have lighter obligations afterward

• Using grounding or soothing activities (deep breathing, walks, journaling)

• Checking in with your body and allowing rest

• Sharing with someone supportive what you’re noticing

There are several paths besides EMDR. These might include somatic therapies, parts work, relational or attachment-based therapy, and other trauma-informed approaches. The goal is to find what feels congruent for you and what supports healing safely.

Somatic therapy works with both body and mind. While talk therapy focuses on thoughts and stories, somatic therapy helps you feel and sense what’s held in your body, release tension, and connect more fully with yourself. It’s especially helpful if you tend to overthink or intellectualize.

Top-down therapy (e.g., cognitive approaches) works through thoughts, beliefs, and perceptions to influence emotions and behavior.

Bottom-up therapy starts with the body, sensations, and emotions — helping change from the ground up.
Both are useful; bottom-up work tends to support deeper emotional/trauma healing and reconnecting with body wisdom.

Absolutely. Many people who live in their heads benefit from learning how to reconnect with their bodies and emotions. Somatic approaches, mindfulness, relational therapy, and practices that cultivate awareness in the body help balance thinking with feeling.

Shame often comes from messages or experiences that make you feel unsafe showing parts of yourself. In therapy, we explore where those messages came from, how they affect you now, and gradually develop more compassionate, authentic ways of being.

Ending a friendship isn’t always simple — there’s grief, identity questions, boundary work, and sometimes guilt. Therapy offers a space to process what the friendship meant, what you need now, and how to take care of your heart through the transition.

PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) often develops after a single traumatic event, while CPTSD (complex PTSD) usually stems from repeated or long-term trauma, such as childhood neglect or ongoing abuse. Both conditions share symptoms like flashbacks, anxiety, and hypervigilance, but CPTSD often also includes difficulties with self-esteem, emotional regulation, and relationships.
