Therapy is a journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and re-claiming balance in oneself. Life can be stressful; unexpected changes, interpersonal relationship struggles, grief & loss experiences, life transitions, emerging sexual and gender identities, or current & past traumas disrupting day-to-day functioning. This can create out-of-control or overwhelming thoughts, feelings, emotions, and behaviors. My approach to therapy is based on a collaborative relationship that offers safety, support, acceptance, and builds trust so that you are able to access internal skills that will create the lasting change you want in your life.
I have 17 years of experience in the mental health field providing Trauma-Informed clinical care to adults, couples, and families. I am an approved Washington State Clinical Supervisor for LMHCAs. Working towards finding balance in your life, developing a deeper sense-of-self, and unlocking your full potential is at the heart of the therapeutic work I do.
My areas of focus and training are: Depression, Anxiety, Grief & Loss work, Life Transitions, Trauma/PTSD/C-PTSD, Attachment wounds, Emergent Adulthood, Identity & Sexuality, and Couples Therapy. I am certified in Level 2 Gottman Couples Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I am trained in Psychodynamic, Attachment, Relational Therapy, IFS, EFT & EFIT

I work with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment wounds and a disconnection to their sense-of-self. As we build our therapeutic relationship, through safety, trust and acceptance we will explore the roots of the symptoms that you are experiencing. Awareness around triggers and utilization of therapeutic tools enables symptom management and a decrease in suffering.
