Offering Hakomi, Somatic Therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Couples Therapy, and Psychedelic Therapy in Seattle, Washington

Return to your nature.

Welcome. I’m glad you found your way here.

You are more than just your thoughts. You are made of stories, traditions, sensations, emotions, breath, imagination, energy, relationships, nature, ancestry, and mystery. Not everything must be transcended; some things ask to be held.

Therapy Modalities

When we are caught in repeating patterns, the body is often carrying what the mind alone cannot resolve. Through somatic and depth-oriented therapy, we slow down to listen, reconnect, and move toward what is true.

I am trained in the Hakomi Method, a mindfulness-based somatic therapy that invites self-inquiry through the body. Rather than analyzing your experience, we slow down and listen for the sensations, emotions, beliefs, and impulses that live beneath the surface.
Through mindfulness, gentle experiments, and embodied exploration, Hakomi offers a compassionate path toward deeper self-knowledge and a return to yourself.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) begins with the understanding that we all contain different parts of ourselves, each carrying its own history, protective role, and wisdom. Rather than trying to silence these parts, we learn to meet them with curiosity and compassion.
Together, we cultivate a relationship with your inner world that allows greater clarity, integration, and Self-leadership.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a body-centered therapy that helps the nervous system process experiences that remain emotionally “stuck.” Rather than simply talking about the past, EMDR supports the brain’s natural capacity to integrate difficult memories so they no longer carry the same emotional charge.
As old patterns begin to loosen, many people experience greater resilience, emotional freedom, and a renewed sense of safety in the present. EMDR can be a powerful path toward healing trauma, anxiety, grief, and other experiences that continue to shape how we move through life.

Transpersonal therapy expands the frame of psychotherapy to include meaning, spirituality, dreams, symbolic experience, interconnectedness, and experiences that may not fit neatly within ordinary psychological language. It can offer a place to explore existential questions, spiritual emergence, altered states, or periods of profound inner change without needing to dismiss these experiences as pathology or define exactly what they mean.
Drawing from depth psychology, somatic awareness, mindfulness, and creative exploration, we can attend to both the psychological and spiritual dimensions of what is unfolding while remaining grounded in the body, relationships, and everyday life.

Psychedelic therapy is not about the medicine alone. It is about the relationship we cultivate with the experience before, during, and long after it unfolds. I offer preparation and integration for psychedelic experiences, along with cannabis-assisted therapy as a legal, embodied modality that can deepen self-awareness, support nervous system regulation, and expand therapeutic exploration.
Approached with intention, these experiences can open meaningful pathways for healing, insight, and transformation. Together, we honor the wisdom of both body and psyche—helping profound moments become lasting change through thoughtful preparation, compassionate presence, and careful integration.

Relationships are a powerful mirror. They reveal our deepest capacity for love while also bringing our vulnerabilities and protective patterns to the surface. When old armor activates, it’s easy to become caught in cycles of conflict, misunderstanding, and disconnection.
My approach integrates somatic therapy, attachment theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Hakomi, and sex-positive counseling to help you understand what is happening beneath the words. Rather than simply managing arguments, we slow down together—rebuilding relational safety, deepening intimacy, and creating new ways of meeting one another.

MA, LMFT

My path into this work began long before I became a therapist. I grew up in a lineage of women shaped by grief that was rarely spoken about, yet still carried. I learned early that what remains unnamed can live through the body, our relationships, and the ways we protect ourselves.

Through somatic therapy, parts work, community, ritual, and depth-oriented practice, I came to understand the body as a place where memory, protection, pleasure, and aliveness can all become visible. That changed the way I understood psychotherapy and deepened my respect for the ways people adapt, survive, create meaning, and find their way back into relationship with themselves.

I believe there is an essential goodness in each of us, something deeper than the patterns we have developed or the ways life has shaped us. Our work together can help you stay connected to that ground with greater compassion, so grief, fear, conflict, desire, and uncertainty can have a place without taking over the whole of who you are. From there, presence, choice, steadiness, creativity, and connection have more room to emerge, along with a fuller participation in life.

LEARN MORE ABOUT ASH

“Ash has a rare gift for meeting the darkest material with steadiness and presence, never flinching from what's hard to look at, while also bringing levity and even laughter to the parts of it that are, in their own way, absurdly human.”

— Individual Therapy Client
“When we first started working with Ash, it felt like an adult was in the room helping us navigate what seemed like unsolvable problems. Her calm, grounded presence and patience helped us approach the larger forces within ourselves and our relationship with curiosity rather than fear. Through our work together, we’ve learned to be partners instead of adversaries, to quiet our assumptions about one another, and to share our burdens, halving their weight. Years later, our relationship continues to thrive, and we’re grateful to have her ongoing support as we grow our family.”

— Couples Therapy Client
“I have felt and seen a huge shift in myself and how I show up with other people, Ash's support has been pivotal in helping me to address challenges and unlock unknown parts of myself.”

— Individual Therapy Client
“Ash possesses a keen perception and depth of insight I've not encountered elsewhere. She is able to sense things invisible and unspoken, yet meets these things with sensitivity, warmth, and compassionate curiosity. No matter how difficult a topic, memory, or part of the self I bring, Ash remains genuinely inquisitive and unafraid of the dark and gritty. Perhaps most important of all, she has proved herself to be reliable and safe, even and especially to the parts of me that fear connection. It's clear that she is not just highly knowledgeable but has also been personally transformed by the modalities she in turn shares with others. It is from this place of lived-in, organic, embodied healing that Ash is able to introduce her clients to their own inner healers.”

— Individual Therapy Client
“Ash created a space where I could slowly begin to look at all parts of myself with honesty, compassion, and safety. Our work together has helped me grieve what needed grieving, understand myself more clearly, and advocate for the life and relationships I deserve. I feel more open now, more grounded, and more able to trust myself. Ash has a rare ability to hold deep pain with warmth, steadiness, humor, and care, and I am profoundly thankful for the support she has given me.”

— Individual Therapy Client
“Ash is a unique and particularly skillful clinician who holds tremendous wisdom of her own, while trusting in the client's innate wholeness. Her relational style, deep empathy and commitment to personal and community-based healing radiates in her presence.”

— Lisa Vaughn LMHCA
“Ash is insightful and intuitive. She’s well-trained and experienced in finding unique pathways to healing deep wounds. Ash brings a warm, curious and welcoming energy to her work. I highly recommend her for those looking to make real and lasting change.”

— Miranda Santisteban LMFT
