    Niche

    What is my niche? (btw, I prefer to pronounce it “nee-sh”) This question has come up a few times since I began working as a mental health professional. I’m a trauma-focused therapist, trained at The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology and influenced by the work of Dr. Dan Allender. I have personally benefited from…

    What’s in a Name

    How to Navigate Anxiety about Going to the Dentist

    If you are like me, you have anxiety about going to the dentist. I think it is a lot to ask someone who has had trauma, to lay back helplessly while someone uses tiny torture devices on them. But if you have dental insurance, going to the dentist regularly can be a beneficial part of…
