Navigating through pain with Ministry Leaders

I’m glad you’re here.

I’m a licensed mental health therapist in Seattle passionate about giving people a safe place to wrestle with pain, loss, trauma, shame and grief where they know their unique story will be honored.

I invite you to healing, to a place of restoration, to the person you want to be.

Our work together is to help you make meaningful changes in your life: this may mean learning new ways to cope, learning and leaning into your strengths, finally allowing yourself to feel the sadness or anger that has always felt too scary or dangerous to acknowledge, or finding new insights into the way you relate to yourself and others that hinder who you really want to be.

— IF YOU’RE HURTING, THERAPY CAN HELP —

  • Rediscovering your sense of self-respect and worth in relationships

  • Rebuilding after loss— death, divorce, break-up

  • Healing from damaging relationships - emotionally immature parents or abusive partners

  • Healing from trauma with EMDR

  • Recovering from loss of what you thought your life was going to look like

  • Finding your sense of self and confidence

  • Healing from postpartum depression and/or anxiety

  • Navigating complexities of depression and anxiety in ministry leadership

You can heal from even your deepest pain and use it to bring growth and new life. If you know you’d like things to be different, but don’t know where to start, reach out to set up a consultation.

I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation. Feel free to give me a call. Get to know me, ask questions, and from there we can decide if we're a good fit working together. 

 

Postpartum Depression and/or Anxiety
If you have been brought down by emotions you never thought you would feel toward yourself or your baby: we will work together so you feel strong and resilient again, and then rebuild joy and trust in yourself as a mother.

Depression
If you are struggling to feel like you used to, if you don’t have the energy or courage to do the things you value: we will explore what is holding you back for you to heal and engage with the world in a new way.

Sexual Abuse
If you feel like there’s something wrong with you because of what’s been done: we will work together to help you recover who you really are and find freedom from the misplaced shame. Don’t let your story doesn’t end with what happened to you.

Counseling for Christian Leaders
If you or your partner are in ministry and want a safe place to wrestle and weep, admit you’re depressed, or process an intense time of change or loss: I will walk alongside you to face the suffering God has allowed as we work together to rebuild your faith for the road ahead.

Couples Counseling

If you’re not connecting the way you used to, and miss the relationship you used to have: I help you rebuild trust, and a deeper understanding of yourself and your partner and what you both mean to each other.

Healing Trauma with EMDR
If you’re recognizing how your past still haunts you- whether that is one terrible moment or a time riddled with them: I utilize EMDR to help you process through the trauma and build a stronger sense of what you’ve overcome.
