We are living in unprecedented times. Individually and collectively, we face pandemic threat, environmental losses, social unrest, economic instability and isolation. Compounding the problem, many of us are separated from the resources that in normal times were there to support and sustain us. While we manage to go about our day-to-day, additional stress may cause increased anxiety, irritability, depression, hopelessness, relational conflict and overwhelm. Addictive and harmful coping behaviors can creep into our lives, serving to further de-resource us. If we have had past trauma, then stress can be further heightened.

For over 20 years, I have gotten to do what I love every day. I believe the healing journey is sacred. Allowing someone to walk with you on this journey is always an honor and privilege. I provide therapy services for individuals needing behavioral health support to write the next chapter in their lives. This is done by assisting individuals in recognizing options, problem-solving, identifying and using resources, trying things a new way, encouraging them to discover and build on their strengths and supporting the people they care about. The first step on this journey begins with you.

Often times, individuals get stuck in the “mud” of life. Sometimes mud is past trauma, various experiences, mental health concerns, and grief. My goal in working with individuals is to find acceptance in the mud in order to live a more fulfilling life. While I specialize in some populations more than others, I find that creating a strong therapeutic relationship is paramount. You are more important than a diagnosis. I tend to connect well with individuals who are in stages of change, difficulty connecting with emotions, interpersonal concerns, difficulty with setting boundaries, and wanting to develop coping skills.

It is my belief that healing can come from brave moments of self-exploration in an environment of safety and openness.

It is my hope that my clients experience therapy as time filled with healing and growth, but also connection, learning, humor, joy, and hope.

I have worked with individuals, couples, and families for more than 20 years, helping people to become the healthy, productive people they were meant to be.

I want to be the therapist for people who are willing to work to achieve their most desired goals, be it individual growth, compatible, productive relationships, or a more peaceful and nurturing family life.

I identify as a (W)holistic Psychologist in orientation. Human beings have complex connections between their psyche, socio-cultural background and biological self, and are influenced by personal life experiences. The interplay of these aspects are where imbalances may occur and informative symptoms may arise.

My patients seek an authentic life, with increased self-knowledge and a decrease in pain and symptoms

My approach as a Jungian analyst/psychotherapist is to facilitate foremost a trusting relationship offering a safe healing environment with my office in my home facing the Olympic National Park. Carl Jung stated: " It is the privilege of a lifetime to become who you truly are." Most people come to therapy seeking relief from depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief, and relationship/family concerns. The clinical process is to identify your unique ways of coping and healing through these life concerns/traumas that occur for most of us at some point. My primary focus is Psychoanalysis/ Psychodynamic and Family Systems therapy.

We each live in a world that has pressured us to be a certain way, look a certain way, have a particular job or partner, or live our faith in a certain way. Maybe you feel like you've never fit in, maybe you've never wanted to and have risked sacrificing the community you've known as a result. Maybe you've got questions about what You really think or what You really want, and are at a crossroads. My favorite clients are those who are seeking greater self-understanding and acceptance, are wanting closer relationships, and who want to find what their own gut says to do next, but are scared of what it might cost them. Freedom seekers.
