It takes courage and strength to initiate and engage in therapeutic work. I respect and honor those seeking help and feel privileged for my role in their process. I work with adults to help relieve symptoms of anxiety and depression, improve their quality of relationships, heal past trauma and a variety of other human concerns. I have particular experience working with individuals who have experienced complex trauma. I help clients to become aware of beliefs, patterns, and behaviors that may be preventing them from living as fully as possible and help illuminate their range of possibilities.

In this day and age we have so many things pulling us in all directions. We have doctors appointments, school functions, social gatherings and so many other things where we constantly have to send our energy. Sometimes it can be hard to remember to take care of our mental health in there as well. Prioritizing this is so very important though. It is what helps us to be able to not just survive but also thrive.

At CIC I provide counseling services that are informed by the contextual backgrounds of your life (i.e. - race, culture, gender, faith, family dynamics, etc.), and adapt the therapeutic process accordingly. Most of my work involves addressing symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and interpersonal conflict with individuals, couples, and families. While also being intentional to deconstruct and challenge the impacts of oppression on the lives of marginalized communities.

We are all alive and trying to learn something about living; we live the way that we feel. We do this automatically (and whether we know it or not) in relationship: in relating to our self and to others. Therefore, my philosophy is everything is emotional and relational and mindful; everything matters.

I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, or trying to make changes in life.

Having worked many years in crisis mental health, I am adept at working with those experiencing episodes of acute mental health and suicidal ideation.

I am a licensed psychologist who provides telehealth services to California, Washington State, and PSYPACT state residents. While I've spent much of my specialist practice at the intersection of substance use, PTSD, and co-occurring disorders in adults (18+), my generalist training has also prepared me to support those experiencing anxiety, depression, perfectionism, boundary issues, deep wisdom experiences of grief and relational transitions, and overworking/burnout related to high-pressure or exploitative work environments. I regularly engage in culturally responsive training to support members of marginalized groups.

Feelings of despair, anxiety, rage, confusion, hopelessness, and depression are normal responses to a broken world. This brokenness manifests as oppression, inequality, trauma, destruction, and violence. Sometimes it can seem impossible to feel whole given the state of things. And yet, it is my deeply held belief that we can heal both individually and collectively, to find ourselves whole again, belonging.

In my work with clients, I use a combination of warmth, curiosity, directness, and respectful humor. I adamantly believe in the individual's right to self-determination, and I take a collaborative approach to therapy - I see you as the only person who can truly know what is important to you and what works in your life, and I see myself as someone who can help you understand what is contributing to your challenges, clarify your thoughts and feelings, help you learn strategies for thinking and behaving differently, and support you as you move toward the life you want.

Hello, I'm glad you found me. I like to begin sessions with this question: Where are you in time and space? Wherever you are moment-to-moment, I aim to follow with compassion and curiosity. Using wonder and inquiry, tell me the details of your experience so we can weave the parts of you together. ​No matter what you’re going through, whether it be apprehension about major life decisions; mourning the loss of significant relationships; or experiencing stagnation throughout your daily life, there is hope. Let’s explore together to come back into affinity and appreciation of you. ​

Accepting New Clients! - I am a counselor for women who hold themselves to high standards, who say “I’m sorry” more than they would like to, and for those who find it is somehow so much easier to care for others than to care for themselves. I am a counselor for women who are ready for change. Women who wonder why things have always been like this, and want to feel less anxious, more safe, and more authentically themselves. I am a counselor for women who want to learn to trust their own thoughts and feelings, and for those who want to truly believe that they are not a burden for being as they are and needing what they do.

Choosing to see a therapist is a courageous step filled with possibility. Do you feel tried, overwhelmed, stressed, stuck? How are you taking care of you? We've been through a collective trauma this last two years. Therapy is not for "broken" people. It is for those of us who choose support to move forward. "One day, you will tell your story of how you overcame what you went through, and it will be someone else's survival guide." Brene Brown. I am honored to join you in your journey of optimal health and wellness. We will explore the hard stuff, and you will gain insight to the shifts you can create. Call for 30-minute free consult

** Please Note: I am currently NOT accepting new clients** Are you frustrated and discouraged with the quality of your relationships with others? Do you wish that there were a manual or rule book that came with the people you love? Relationships are the most cherished and yet confounding things that we as humans long to have, and we get very little guidance about how to make and maintain them. Whether you are in a relationship with a friend, lover, spouse, or child, I can help you learn ways to find fulfillment, stability, and joy.
