As it turns out, "just don’t stress” isn’t very helpful, and “adulting” includes everything we should have been taught in grade school. Most people don't seek therapy because life is going exactly as planned. They come because they’re tired of just surviving and are ready to start living again. Pain has a way of rewriting the stories we tell ourselves. It can quietly change the way we see ourselves, others, and sometimes even God. But healing lets you write the next chapter by uncovering the person you’ve always been beneath survival mode, people pleasing, fear, stress, and self doubt.
My clients describe me as warm, direct, encouraging, and occasionally sarcastic. My goal isn’t simply to help you cope through difficult seasons. It’s to help you identify possible blind spots, recognize patterns from a different perspective, regain confidence and a sense of agency, and build the life you’ve always wanted.
I dare you to flip the script and discover what’s possible when your past no longer gets to dictate your future. Life doesn't wait for perfect timing. Thankfully, therapy doesn't have to either. I offer flexible in person and online appointments for busy adults, high performers and parents across Washington, Sunday through Friday.

Healing looks different for everyone. Many of my clients are high performers that feel trapped by high expectations, people pleasing, perfectionism, fear, achievement, constant pressure, or trying to 'earn' love. Others carry the impact of childhood or relationship trauma, abuse, chronic stress, discrimination or burnout. In my office, your past may explain you, but it doesn't have to define you.

Therapy isn't just talking about problems. It's turning insight into action that creates healing, transformation, and lasting change. Knowledge is only power when applied. Think of me as your coach. I'll listen, support, encourage, and challenge you, but I won't do the reps for you. I'll walk through the dark valley with you, but I won't let you unpack, redecorate, and sign a lease there.
