Do you, or someone you love, struggle with managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, grief and loss, or neurodivergence? Are you interested in experiencing the healing benefits of art therapy with a qualified and experienced specialist? Are you the parent/caregiver of a child who is struggling with their anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, trauma history, Misophonia, or has a vulnerable nervous system characterized by big, baffling behaviors for other reasons?
I am a Licensed Marital & Family Therapist, and registered Art Therapist in Washington state with 2 decades of experience weaving art therapy techniques with a trauma-informed lens grounded in the relational neurosciences (including attachment theory, polyvagal theory, & interpersonal neurobiology). I work with adults, children, teens, and families.
My clients can rest in the following nonnegotiable tenets that guide my practice: All behaviors make sense... We are all doing the best we can from moment to moment... All of you is welcome, exactly as you are... Regulated, connected humans who feel safe do well... & Changing how we see people, changes people. Let's connect!

While clients who come to see me may bring a wide range of issues, therapy with me most often begins with collaboratively identifying the client's innate resources and strengths, then using the therapeutic relationship as a safe haven for finding and trying out new ways of responding to, and resolving problems. I offer a commitment to clients to BE WITH them, as long as they want me to be.
