Therapists in Edmonds, WA

For years, I have served in helpful roles to those seeking inspiration, support, resources, skills, advocacy, or a little empathy. My specialities include working with anxiety, life/family transitions, new/expecting parents, and creating self love/confidence. My experience has been diverse, often supporting marginalized populations. My goal as a therapist is to help clients integrate body, mind, and spirit through a humanistic, mindfulness based approach.
