I believe that everyone can explore internally and foster potential to create a brighter outlook of life. Through open-minded and non-judgmental collaboration, I work with many individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, interpersonal, family dynamic issues, career concerns, trauma, grief, parenting, and body image issues. Almost 20 years of experience, I assist children, adults, families, and couples exploring self-understanding, identifying emotional and behavioral patterns, develop new perspectives and emotion and stress management skills, making meaningful interpersonal connections, and making career decisions.

Being alive in a complex and unknown world is difficult, as humans we are daily managing our emotions, instincts, desires, frustrations, confusions, and joys. This is no simple task, and difficult to do alone. That is where the work of psychotherapy comes in to provide a path forward. By creating a space of acceptance, presence, and honesty together we can move towards building more security and freedom to live and enjoy life.

I believe humans are best seen through our relationships: with our parents, siblings, friends; with those who harmed us and even the relationships between the different parts of our self. Where difficult relationships have caused pain, healthy relationships can facilitate healing. I believe counseling can be one such relationship. I have worked with people of all ages, and particularly enjoy working with teens and young adults. I work well with a number of mental health challenges, such as: depression, anxiety, trauma, grief as well difficulty adjusting to life stressors and transitions.

I am a marriage and family therapist that helps individuals and couples navigate the challenges of modern life. We explore how roles in family, relational, social, and cultural networks influence the whole person. The client is the expert on their story and my role is to help translate that narrative through our combined knowledge. Clients I work with often feel they have all the outside elements for a happy life, but still struggle with stress, relational problems, self-esteem, and work issues. Something is missing or preventing fulfillment and it is our collaborative efforts that help us discover and remove those barriers.

For over 20 years, I've worked with individuals and couples struggling with relationship problems, challenging life transitions like mid-life crises, job stress, grief and loss, and living authentically. I also specialize in depression, anxiety, stress and chronic health issues. You're not alone in your struggle once we begin to work together. I listen deeply to really understand you as we work to transform your issues. I offer sessions in my Edmonds office, by phone, or by video conference.

Currently accepting new clients. Trauma, attachment, + identity impact people in different ways. Do you often feel detached or numb? Do you avoid thinking about the past or self-medicate? Are you concerned about your parenting? Do you often find yourself in difficult relationships? Are you concerned about your memory? Do you feel sad or anxious a lot? Are you "stuck" in the same pattern? Do you have trouble trusting people? Are you irritable most of the time? Do you feel like you don't know yourself or your purpose? Do you feel incomplete or want meaning in life? If you answered yes to any-I believe I could be a good fit for you.

Often the goal of therapy is for clients to develop the capacity to resolve personal problems with the support of a therapist. The clinicians at Counseling Services for Wellbeing work collaboratively with the clients to build on their existing strengths, enhance relationships, increase and procure a support system and obtain the necessary skills and tools to lead a happier and more fulfilling life. We strive to work in a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, tailoring to each client’s individual needs and goals to help achieve the personal growth they are striving for.

It takes strength, courage, and self-awareness to reach out to a stranger for support. I believe you are the expert in your own story, and you have the potential for your own healing and growth. In our collaborative work together, I will help you navigate challenges you are experiencing, and help you recognize your strengths and skills to empower yourself through your journey.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. I aim to provide a warm, welcoming environment focusing on my relationship with my client. I believe the individual is the expert about themselves, and my role is to help facilitate their journey towards their goals. My primary areas of specialization are in working with children and adolescents and individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities, child abuse, depression, grief, anger, trauma, abuse, sexual identity, parent/peer conflict, and transitional issues.

I believe that the relationship to our self is the most important relationship that we will ever have. A bond with a therapist who witnesses and understands us in a nonjudgmental way can be a wonderful ally in improving that relationship and making positive changes in our lives. Trauma, attachment issues, toxic families of origin, oppression, grief, and ancestral/family patterns are just some just some examples that can cause suffering that motivates someone to start therapy. I have experience working with clients with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, PTSD, and other mood disorders that make it difficult to function in life.

Congratulations on taking the first step in your journey to become the person you want to be. I believe in empowering people to overcome the difficulties in their lives. My passion is to help my clients overcome whatever keeps them from living their best life by bringing out their inner strength! For clients who want to use therapy for insight, self-exploration, healing, and personal growth. My theoretical approach is existential and relational, which means that together, we can explore how your personal history and learned habits may influence your emotions, coping patterns, and behaviors,- ultimately affecting your sense of self.
