While my work isn't all of who I am, it is intricately woven within the fabric of my Being. From my earliest memories, I recall being a "people watcher" - drawn to the observation of human nature and relationship, wondering why we make the choices we do, why and how we grow (or don't) and what the purpose is of the challenges we face.
As my own journey of healing and self-discovery unfolded, my thirst for wisdom and understanding led me to earn multiple degrees in social work and to employment in the human services arena.And thus began a process for me that continues to this day: my life informs my work, and my work informs my life. I received my master's in clinical social work from the University of Denver in 2001 and was licensed in Colorado in 2003.
I am currently licensed in Washington, and am located in West Seattle. I have provided psychotherapy to individuals, couples and families in a variety of settings including: outpatient community mental health, managed care, and private practice.

Services
My practice centers around helping people heal from trauma.
Be it a big-T trauma or a little-t trauma, the effects on the nervous system are the same.
I am passionate about assisting clients with getting unstuck from old ways of thinking, behaving, relating, and emoting.
It takes a lot of energy to maintain those old patterns and keep the traumatic material at bay.
When we can shift those patterns, there is more energy that is freed up that can be used for creativity, spontaneity and genuine connection with others.

Astrology gives us a road map to the depths of our personality and provides direction toward living a more soulful life.
In these private astrology readings, we will spend 45-50 minutes exploring your natal chart, which reflects the alignment of the planets at the time of your birth.
What you can do to live more soulfully (how to get the personality to be in service to the soul - not the other way around!).
Compassion for yourself in areas that challenge you and affirmation of areas in which you are naturally gifted.

4E was created by world-renowned psychotherapist and astrologer, Debra Silverman.
As a trained 4E facilitator, I will guide you through a powerful, transformational experience using the four elements of Water, Air, Earth and Fire.
This personal quest will empower you to find clarity, and the practical application to your life's direction will guide you significantly to wake up to possibilities for the future.
During your 4E Process, you will be guided to observe your current interpretation of your situation from four different perspectives by embodying the archetypes of each of the elements.

Are you confused about your purpose in this life?
Would you like more clarity about your career, relationships, finances, innate gifts/talents?.
When we are clear about our purpose, our drive and motivations for daily life are more focused, and we experience a greater sense of peace.
The problem is, our purpose gets skewed by what others expect of us or the unconscious beliefs we hold that keep us from living into the truth of who we are.
This is where the gift of astrology comes in, giving us clear access to the promise you made when you came into this life.
