I offer in-person appointments in Gig Harbor WA and Kingston WA, as well as Telehealth. I focus my therapy work with adults and couples. I’m trauma focused and use EMDR as a primary tool to help my clients. In our sessions, expect to feel more confident, more connected in relationships and feel better overall! Working together, we’ll chart a course to healing and transformation.
I have my own story and lived experience and know how that effects the way we think about ourselves and our surroundings. I utilize EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems or other approaches to help my clients get unstuck and begin to thrive in life.
If you're ready to move forward, I'm happy to chat with you to see how my services could benefit you and your family. I offer 15-minute phone consultation at no cost to prospective clients. Click the contact buttons for email on this page to speak to me directly.

I view clients through a trauma focused lens, because our understanding of the world, our sense of choice and beliefs about ourselves are due to what we have experienced in life. Using EMDR, attachment-based treatment and cognitive restructuring, you can have positive mental health outcomes.
