Providing adult psychotherapy services in Washington State and Georgia

Hi! I am so glad you're here. 

Opening Cascade Psychotherapy in 2021, I dreamed of increasing accessibility of care beyond what a traditional therapy office space can provide. I provide individual adult psychotherapy to clients in Washington State and Georgia via telehealth. Teletherapy sessions are held on a HIPAA compliant video chat platform, bringing your most personal work into your most comfortable environment.

I work with adult individuals who are experiencing adverse religious experiences, anxiety, childhood and complex trauma, depression, existential processing, grief and complex loss, LGBTQIA+ specific issues, stage of life changes, and women+ specific issues. I have a non-direct approach in the therapy room and encourage you to lead your session. It's my goal to empower you to deepen your understanding of yourself and your relational dynamics. I hope to provide a safe environment for your most authentic self to be present.

In session, I practice through the lenses of ego-state interventions, psychodynamic therapy, and Gestalt. All three of these orientations use similar techniques: asking the client to engage in parts work, using the therapeutic relationship as a pathway to self-reflection, and understanding the mind, body, and spirit in the here and now. While our time together is still traditional talk therapy, we often check in with what is happening somatically in session.

When I am not working, I am also a client. I have been a client in groups, couples therapy, and individual sessions, and have benefitted from all of them in very different ways. In order to do this work, I believe it's my ethical responsibility to experience what it's like to sit on the other side of the therapeutic relationship.

I am only one provider of many and am lucky to work alongside other clinicians who do great work. Because my caseload and resources are limited, I provide a list of community resources for services I am unable to provide. Please reach out if you would like a list of specific providers to whom I regularly refer clients.

I also provide my current reading list. While this isn't part of my work directly, I like to share works that have impacted both my personal and professional journey in hopes that they will also impact you.

Thanks for sharing this time in space with me. Your journey matters.
