Feeling stuck in anxiety, shutdown, low motivation, irritability, or patterns that keep repeating? I provide telehealth therapy for teens (13+) and adults across Washington. I am EMDR trained, focusing on anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, and co-occurring substance use. Sessions are practical, direct, and grounded in CBT and Solution-Focused Therapy, with real-life tools for coping, regulation, and boundaries. My work is Native-affirming and culturally responsive, and I offer a steady, no-nonsense approach that respects your pace while helping you move forward.
I help clients work through anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, co-occurring substance use, and life transitions. Using CBT and Solution-Focused Therapy, I help people understand what is driving their patterns, build practical coping tools, manage emotions more effectively, and make changes that feel realistic and sustainable.
Starting therapy can feel hard, especially when life already feels heavy. You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Therapy can be a place to slow things down, make sense of what you are carrying, and start moving forward in a way that feels more manageable and grounded.
