I am so glad you have decided to embark on this journey to live a fuller, happier, and purpose-filled life. I love working alongside clients to maximize their potential and help them find hope and healing for the many difficulties that come with life. My counseling approach integrates research supported techniques with your personal value system.

Hello! My speciality is working with children, tweens, adolescents, and young adults. As a Child Mental Health Specialist (CMHS), I enjoy working with youth while providing a safe, nonjudgmental, supportive, and comfortable environment to discuss challenges and hopes. My passion is helping children and adolescents increase self-awareness, find balance, and develop a healthy emotional awareness by strengthening interpersonal relationships, improving conflict resolution skills, improving communication skills, while learning and developing coping skills. I believe that having good mental health leads to positive self-image and the ability to work with life changes.

My clients are youth struggling with social/parental expectations, being judged, understanding social cues, establishing deeper connections with others, being confused about themselves, having low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addictions. Struggles exacerbate with a history of being bullied, dysfunctional families, trauma, and health concerns such as being underweight, insomnia, abdominal pain, brain fog, and learning difficulties. My clients want to have freedom, be listened to, and explore the world with their ideas to find who they are without being judged.

For years, I assisted people in dissolving their marriages humanely through mediation. However, I found that too many couples who separate can repair and strengthen their relationships. So, today, I apply my therapeutic skills to support couples in healing their relationships. My primary approach is Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. I also work with people who want to work on their intimate relationships as well as those trying to adjust to divorce.

I began seeing clients in 2008 for a variety of therapy issues including anxiety, depression, life stage transition, trauma, grief, and loss.

Psychological wounds can leave us feeling broken, damaged, and disconnected from ourselves and the world around us. I work with individuals who struggle with relationships and intimacy and those who have lost a felt sense of meaning and purpose in their lives. The people I work with often struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-worth, or somatic issues. It’s important to me to provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore the barriers that may be keeping you from your goals. I am here to support and guide you through the process of healing, while respecting that you that you are the expert on your life.

I believe that meeting people where they are in life, the inherent strength that every client possesses, and a strong therapeutic relationship are the most important aspects of therapy. I work with people seeking help with healing from trauma, who are experiencing dissociation, who are trans/gender non-conforming, who have queer identities, who are military or military families, and anyone else who wants to work through their anxiety, depression, or other emotional difficulties. I believe in body positivity/neutrality, sex positivity, and anti-racism/sexism. I'm offering online therapy in Washington State.

Have you been struggling with feelings of anxiety? Are you feeling exhausted, disinterested, or unmotivated? Do your relationships feel chaotic, confusing, or unfulfilling? We all have times in life that seem unmanageable or perhaps even unbearable.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel safe and understood. I love working with individuals who are trying to reconnect to themselves and with couples who want to strengthen the bonds they have. I want you to feel seen and supported through the therapy process, and I am here to listen without judgment and help you find ways to make your life feel more manageable. I will walk you through the process of self-discovery, helping you find the strengths you already possess and encouraging you to grow in ways you need. I see the beauty and hope in making small changes that will make your life feel more fulfilling.

Are you feeling on edge or restless often? Do you struggle with sleep and often feel fatigued or low energy during the day? Do you have a lot of muscle tension? I help people whose anxiety feels out of control. What if you could learn how to soothe yourself during distressing times and feel more in control of your emotions? Sometimes, the best solution for anxiety is to get help from a supportive and skilled therapist who knows how to guide you towards a calmer and more fulfilling life. I can help you focus on what you have control of during this uncertain time where so much is out of our control.

"I now see how owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do." - Brené Brown I agree. You've already taken a courageous step. I hope to begin a counselor/client relationship that I believe will be a helpful, rewarding, and healing process. Choosing a mental health counselor must be an attentive and conscientious course of action. I offer both individual and group therapy to help increase your self esteem and shame resiliency, combat perfectionism, and to foster your journey towards authenticity, vulnerability, and embracing your story.

I started Golden Story Therapy to help adults suffering from anxiety, burnout, negative self-talk, and the stress and pressures of people-pleasing and perfectionism. My clients are burnt out, stressed, and constantly overthinking. The fear of failure and shame keeps them up at night. They are usually doing everything for everyone else, and so there is nothing left for themselves. Despite their packed schedules they never quite feel seen or understood, which leaves them feeling lonely. They are starting to wonder how they got here and if it will always be this way. It doesn't have to be.

I believe that having a compassionate and non-judgmental person to talk to can feel like a breath of fresh air. If you are feeling ready to begin exploring your thoughts, feelings, behaviors and experiences in order to gain insight and find solutions, I would be honored to help.
