I don't believe that the ideal client exists. Therapy is for everyone. I practice from a Health at Every Size (HAES) perspective, and would love to work with larger-bodied clients on building and growing self-compassion, and self-esteem, working toward an attitude of fat liberation, and reinforcing the knowledge that all bodies are deserving of love and respect.

I love the diversity and uniqueness of the clients I meet. I prize developing a warm and close working relationship with my clients. The rewards can be great, especially with kids that are experiencing big emotional, physical and situational changes that can often be so intense and so indescribable at the same time. I have demonstrated a knack for helping to supply words and meaning to adolescent and young adult experience and for helping to alleviate uncertainty, anxiety, tension and strife. I also identify and utilize a person's strengths as a primary means of positive change.

Accepting clients with Premera, First Choice, and private pay.

Hello! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate dedicated to providing counseling services for children, teens, adults, and families. With a firm belief in the power of human connection, I strive to foster a collaborative, safe, and judgment-free therapeutic environment where individuals can explore their unique journey towards healing and change. Grounded in a client-centered and trauma-informed approach, I recognize the profound impact of relationships and experiences on shaping individuals from a young age.

I earned my master’s in counseling psychology from the Seattle School of Theology and Psychology in 2016. With experience working as a residential case manager and intake coordinator in community mental health care settings, I have experience supporting individuals dealing with emotional, psychological, and substance use disorders. I am most drawn to those who identify on the margins or who do not feel they fit into the box society tells them they should fit into.

So, you know how there are those therapists who are calming, soothing, and usually have one of those freaking awesome rock formations with streaming water behind them? Yeah, well... I'm not one of those therapists! First off, I just used the word "freaking" in my intro, and that's when I'm trying to be my most professional self! Secondly, and more importantly, I'm just not into all the head bobbing and "tell me more." I'm more of a "what's going on? Talk to me" kind of therapist. I will listen, and never judge you. I will laugh (and sometimes cry) with you, and I will use every therapeutic tool at my disposal to help you!

There are many different things that can impact how we show up as our authentic selves and for others - so many of us struggle with depression, anxiety, the effects of past traumas, relational difficulties, work-related stress, life transitions, exploration of sexuality, the list goes on and on. Regardless of where you are in your journey, there is always a way to move forward in a space that balances compassion and empathy with direct and honest evaluation of circumstances. Currently, I am accepting adult individuals and couples who are motivated and empowered to look inward to discover and overcome life challenges together.

One of my first goals in counseling is to meet you where you are to build a meaningful and collaborative therapeutic relationship. I offer a safe, judgment-free, and gentle environment to explore your goals, challenges and hopes. I also provide directive styles of therapy if needed or desired. I welcome all human emotions to therapy, however difficult or painful. I believe that we are informed by our emotional experiences, and hope to assist you in gaining personalized insight and skillsets to heal, learn and move forward.

Hi! I'm glad you're here :) It's not easy to sift through profiles, trying to find a therapist who will be the right fit for you, but it will be worth it. If you think we'd be a good match, I'd love to help! Are you having a hard time getting societal beauty standards off of your "to-do" list? In a culture that seems hell bent on showing us what we should change about ourselves, it's hard to let it go. The inner critic gets loud, and we become so hard on ourselves for all sorts of everything. If you're looking for some self-love, a peaceful relationship with food and your body, or anxiety management, you've come to the right place.
