About Tilth Therapy
About Me
I am a licensed clinical social worker. in the state of Washington and Oregon. I received my graduate degree from The University of Washington and my undergraduate degree from Western Washington University.
I have over 30 years of experience as a social worker, advocating and supporting adults and youth navigating deep grief and trauma.
When I’m not working, I love spending time with friends and family, gardening, going to music shows, being outdoors, and big slobbery dogs.
My Approach
I use different modalities to meet each individual's needs. My modalities include: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), Psychoanalytic, Trauma Focused CBT, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Somatic Experiencing and Art Therapy.
Personal Note
I am passionate about helping others find joy in living. Many therapists come to this work from their own painful experiences, and after coming out the other side, want to help others engage in a life that brings happiness, without fear, self-doubt, or daily sorrow. I am here to listen, to hold your stories, your grief, and to see you thrive. I acknowledge that many factors influence one’s choices when embarking on work with a therapist. I support and encourage everyone’s right to access supportive therapy within their cultural framework. Wherever your background is from, or whatever your story contains, I promise to listen, do my best to understand, and to learn if I make a mistake. Everyone should have access to healing, and choosing a therapist that feels comfortable.
What You Can Expect
I provide active listening, in a supportive environment, while helping clients gain insight, through questioning, and interactive exercises. I provide services to adults and adolescents ages 14 and up, integrating a number of different therapeutic styles and modalities depending on client needs.
