I work with most ages (4+) with a variety of issues. I am a registered play therapist which requires specialized training in Play Therapy at the National level. I work with children as well as adults to tackle anxiety and phobias, grief and loss, trauma, depression, social skills difficulties, problems with family relationships, and coping with big life changes like coping with divorce or a recent move.

No matter the conditions, clients who experience the greatest benefit from counseling are the ones who come prepared to learn and grow. Anyone who steps into my office with such an eagerness will also leave having gained something. I am not fixed on any one specific method and adapt my approach based on client need and personality. In addition to counseling, I also offer psychological and educational evaluations. Testing covers a range of ADHD, learning disability, psychological, educational, neurocognitive, and functional capacity evaluations.

Currently taking new clients! Serving as a community-based mental health therapist for many years, I am looking to provide accessible virtual/telehealth (therapy from your home!) in Washington State.

As a parent you miss their smile & kind nature that has vanished, you feel stuck not knowing how to help your child. In the elementary years there might be school absences piling up as you dread coaxing them to school for a feared assessment or unkind peers. Your teen may melt down over finding the right clothes to fit in, an upcoming presentation or feeling alone at lunch. Family time is always on edge waiting for the lashing out that ensues after a rise in panic, stress or anxiety. Like others, you may be questioning your parenting and feel shame because you can’t find your way around the anxiety that has a grip on your child.
