**Currently unable to accept new clients at this time.** Have you felt distracted lately at work or at school, feeling this overwhelming sense of dissatisfaction? Do you find you're more distressed than usual over daily stressors, simple chores or minor arguments? And do you find yourself constantly thinking about all the things you want to change? You may know what behaviors you have that are causing you distress or you may lack insight into what it is that is getting in your way. Either way, when you know something has to change, but you don't know how to go about it, therapy may be the answer.

I believe that every person has the innate ability to heal, grow, and overcome even the most challenging of situations.

My goal is to help you to find your own inner path to healing so that you will always know how to take care of yourself no matter what may come your way.

I work with adults and couples who are struggling with a life transition, relationship issues, parenthood and identity development. I strongly believe that we each have the ability to understand our current challenges, worries and past traumas.

We will work together to identify patterns, cope with negative thoughts and process life’s transitions.

On our journey it can be helpful to have someone to help us read the narratives which often define our lives. Some of those narratives keep us from experiencing what we want for ourselves now and in the future. Since graduating with a Masters in Counseling Psychology from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology in 2010, I have been working as a therapist with people in various stages of life. A relationship between a therapist and client can provide someone with a deep reflection of how they live and are experienced. I believe therapy can give us the opportunity to rediscover our story in a new way. Real change is possible.

The human experience is both exceptional and at times incredibly challenging. As a therapist, I am committed to providing a safe space for you to process, explore, and overcome.

Hi! I am currently accepting new clients. I am trained in treating adults with a wide variety of concerns. I work well with those suffering from depression, anxiety, OCD, adjustment issues and more. I have special interest in treating couples and the aging population.

Unfortunately, I am not accepting new clients at this time. I work primarily with adults experiencing emotional challenges. This often looks like depression, anxiety, or grief. I also work with individuals going through a transition in life, relationships, career, or health status. During a difficult season in life we are more open to learning new skills and perspectives.

For me, the ideal client would be someone who is ready to embark on their journey to find what they need or is missing from their life. Not all people need the same things to feel balanced or happy. Not all people experience the same things. Not all people are looking to get the same things out of therapy. With this information, my goal is to meet you where you are and to support you in building the life you are seeking. To the clients that may be apprehensive or unsure of what you need, that's okay too. I will explore this with you and help you to figure that out.

I don’t pretend to be an expert, because YOU are the expert on your life. My therapeutic environment is based on equality between me and my clients.

People do the best they can for their lives, however, old trauma's, wounds and life challenges can create suffering, depression and anxiety.
