finding balance from within
My Personal Story:
When I became a parent, I was introduced to hypnotherapy as a client to address childhood trauma that was triggering some depression and anxiety. I quickly realized that even with all the work I had done as a professional social worker, I still faced unresolved issues that came up while parenting two girls. As I delved deeper into my own healing, I became more and more interested in hypnotherapy and felt first-hand the curative capacity of working on a subconscious and somatic level. I was able to change some core beliefs and behaviors that allowed me to heal and realize my goals. I immediately pursued my own training to be able to offer this modality to others and have been in on-going trainings and group retreats ever since to learn and continue my own healing. I firmly believe that through my own work, I am able to be more present and hold space for others, while sharing both my clinical and personal experience.
My Professional Story:
I am a licensed independent clinical social worker and certified advanced hypnotherapist with a private practice in the heart of central Seattle. I have worked in the field of addiction and trauma for over 20 years as a mental health clinician in community mental health clinics, a public health community worker with high risk individuals, a chemical dependency counselor, a manager of programs focusing on PTSD among young adults and as a coordinator of research teams examining the factors that help individuals change behavior. I have an undergraduate degree in psychology and a masters degree in social work from the University of Washington.
I have training and experience in hypnotherapy, chemical dependency treatment, systems, humanistic and psychodynamic theory, mindfulness and somatic approaches, transpersonal psychology and trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I continue my search for greater meaning by delving into existential philosophy and pursuing my own spiritual practices. I am excited to offer hypnotherapy as a very powerful healing tool to get to the root of your problems. I especially love working with groups and leading retreats to heal dysfunctional family dynamics in a therapeutic community.
My areas of expertise are:
- trauma related disorders
- dissociative disorders
- anxiety and depression
- substance use issues
- self esteem
- age regression hypnotherapy
- personal and spiritual transformation
