I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington, supporting individuals & families since 2011. I work with adults, teens, children, and families navigating a wide range of challenges—such as anxiety, depression, trauma and loss, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and parenting stress. Whether you're an adult feeling stuck or overwhelmed, a teen struggling to find your place, or a parent seeking support for your child or family, my goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered.
I take an eclectic, client-centered approach that’s tailored to your unique needs. Depending on your needs, I may incorporate Play Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), TF-CBT and EMDR to support healing and growth. Together, we’ll work not just to relieve symptoms—but to help you thrive.
I’m currently accepting new clients for both in-person and virtual therapy sessions. I know that finding the right fit matters, so I offer a free 15-minute consultation call to help you decide if we’re a good match.
