Psychiatrists in Federal Way, WA

Whether you are struggling with everyday life or living with chronic illness, my passion is your wellness. I work with clients across the lifespan, because no matter where you are at in your walk in life, you are worthy of help. I work off of the recovery model with a firm belief in the unique path to healing of each individual. No one size fits all and I am here to discover with you what works, with support all the way.

I have twenty years’ experience providing healthcare services to a wide range of populations and within a variety of specialties. In the last decade, I have provided psychiatric care as a registered nurse in inpatient psychiatric units. This experience has given me an understanding of individuals with severe mental illnesses, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and psychosis.

I'm passionate about the importance of people having easy access to mental healthcare. Before joining the healthcare field, I taught in low-income and underserved communities. Seeing the impact that a lack of mental healthcare had in these areas drove me to return to school and begin a career focused on providing that much-needed care. In my eyes, treatment can significantly increase the quality of life both mentally as well as physically.

I take a collaborative approach with my patients. I like to know what my patients’ goals are so I can tailor the treatment to help them achieve their goals as much as possible. Knowing what’s important to my patients helps me know what treatments to recommend or when to suggest a change to the treatment. I find that patients experience the most success if they are open to talking about their treatment options.
