About Me
I have a small private practice in the Eastlake neighborhood in Seattle. I prefer in-person work, but allow Telehealth as needed. I have a long history of specialized trauma and attachment focused work with members of the adoption and foster care constellation. Open adoption and encouraging healthy connections between birth and adoptive families is a particular passion.
My practice is now closed to new clients in need of long-term therapy. However, I do welcome clients for shorter term KAP (Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy) which pairs beautifully with EMDR.
I am a cisgender, heterosexual, married mother of one teenage son. I love live music, playing guitar, camping, practicing yoga and being with friends and family in any setting. I have Italian, German, and Catholic roots and recently became an Italian citizen through my paternal Grandmother. I speak some Italian, but not well enough for a therapy session!
I love learning and living! I consider it a huge honor to walk with my clients on their healing journeys. I believe in the power of the inner healer in all of us, and think I am pretty skilled at helping people find that in themselves.
Education & Experience
I received my MSW from Washington University in St. Louis in 1998 and have been a licensed clinician in the state of Washington since 2000. I spent my early career working in the area of public and private child welfare.
After years of agency work, I opened my private practice in 2014 and specialized in all issues impacting the adoption constellation. I became certified in EMDR, Theraplay, and the IATP (Integrated Attachment and Trauma Protocol). I also studied with and completed Deborah Gray's ATFT program through ATTACh and am listed as one of their recommended providers. Working with adoptive and birth parents remains a big part of my practice.
My most recent training passions include IFS (Internal Family Systems) and PAT (Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy). I completed Level 1 IFS training in 2024 and will complete Level 2 in 2026. I have also completed IFS informed EMDR training through the Syzegy Institute. I have specialized training in KAP through the AIMS Clinic and through the Psychedelic Doula Academy. Studying the intersection and synergy of KAP with EMDR and how these two models together catalyze growth is my primary focus.
