What to Expect
Compassion, consistency, and consideration for your therapy goals.
A free 30-minute video consultation gives you a chance to ask me questions about the therapy experience and ensure that I am the right therapist for your needs.
I truly care about your treatment goals for therapy. At the first session we will discuss your history, present situation, and hopes for the future. The most important thing to me is that we both feel that I understand why you are here.
I offer a depth of experience in somatic art techniques, energy work, breath exercises, meditation, and embodied movement. Each session is uniquely yours and intuited to meet your presenting needs. As we talk, I may offer personalized intuitive art activities inspired by your story. By making art we can sometimes understand new depth to situations that do not have easy words. Of course, creating art is always an invitation, not a requirement.

Wallingford History
Wallingford’s history begins long before it became a Seattle neighborhood. For generations, the north shores of Lake Union were part of the Duwamish homeland — a place of travel, gathering, and deep connection shaped by Indigenous stewardship.
Colonial settlement in the late 1800s brought rapid change as forests were cleared and early lakeside communities like Edgewater and Latona emerged. Rail lines and later streetcars linked the area to Ballard, the University of Washington, and downtown, setting the stage for Wallingford’s growth. After annexation into Seattle in 1891, a wave of plats established the street grid and residential character that still define the neighborhood. By the 1910s and 1920s, Wallingford had become a thriving streetcar suburb filled with bungalows, small commercial hubs, and a strong sense of community.
Today, Wallingford is known for its walkable streets, early 20th‑century homes, lively business districts along 45th Street and Stone Way, and beloved landmarks like Gas Works Park and the Good Shepherd Center. It remains a neighborhood where history is visible — and where community continues to shape its future.
