You deserve to feel whole, proud, and fully accepted for who you are.
EMDR intensive therapy for LGBTQ folks in Seattle, specializing in attachment wounds, religious trauma, and identity exploration.
You’ve worked so hard to heal, but something’s still not shifting.
You’ve been in talk therapy, maybe for years. The weekly sessions have brought clarity and helpful tools. But you notice you are holding back from sharing something because you don’t have enough time to really get into it. Or you find you are getting to the really good stuff 35 minutes in and then you have to gather yourself back up until next week.
Friends tell you how insightful you are. You’re the one who brings up attachment issues at dinner or invites your chosen family to share their childhood wounds over coffee. You pride yourself on your self-awareness and ability to cope. But something still feels stuck.
Spiritual retreats, support groups, radical book clubs all make a difference, but it’s not enough. Your nervous system still gets hijacked by old beliefs, and it makes it harder to have the kinds of connections you long for.
You’ve done the work to heal from your conservative upbringing, so why is freedom still feeling hard to find?
When the world treats your existence as a political problem, living out loud takes courage.
You feel the grief and rage of being targeted, but you don’t want that to be the only thing you feel. How can you be awake to both the pain and the love that comes with really being alive?
Despite all the internal work you’ve done, you find yourself wanting more. You are ready to really deepen your healing so that your life can be truly full.
You’re ready for something different. Let’s find out what’s possible together.
Hi, I’m Lacie.
I’m here to help you move past what’s been holding you back and into the fullness of who you are.
You’ve already done real healing work. But old themes keep showing up, and with the world pressing in on the pain of conservative upbringings and the attempted erasure of your identity, you know there’s more tending to do.
Intensive EMDR therapy gives us the space to slow down and listen to what our bodies are holding, to address both systemic oppression and internalized beliefs, and to support our nervous systems so that you can find enough safety to return to the rest of your world. Your body can learn to feel grief and gratitude, rage and compassion, despair and joy. You can be fully you, fully alive.
Here’s what becomes possible through our work together. You could:
Be able to relax into the love of a partner without needing to text them 15 times a day
Take another step in your exploration of your gender and begin to really see yourself
Find new ways to explore spirituality separate from the religious shame of your childhood
Deepen your relationships with your adult children as you embrace more of yourself
Enjoy the experience of being in your body
Feel more calm and ease available to you despite the distress of the larger socio-political climate
my specialties
-
Being queer is a gift, but it often comes with complex challenges. Many of us grew up in religious or conservative environments where our identities were denied, labeled as wrong, or even rejected. This often leads to a deep sense of shame and a struggle to rebuild self-worth. My work is rooted in healing those traumas while helping you embrace and celebrate your true identity.

Instead of the traditional 50-minute weekly sessions, I offer extended 3-hour sessions and immersive full-day packages. These intensive sessions give us the time and space to focus deeply on your healing without the stop and start feeling that can happen in weekly sessions, and you can find relief more quickly. Intensives often result in less overall time in therapy.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a highly effective therapy for processing trauma and shifting unhelpful patterns. This method helps rewire the brain using bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping, which allows you to process unresolved trauma safely. EMDR is a powerful somatic (body based) therapy that creates neurological change so that insight can move into life change.
