For 20+ years I have been providing individual psychotherapy. You might be thinking about therapy because you have a sense that something is wrong or something hurts. Sometimes all you know is you have not felt happy for a long time. Perhaps you are experiencing confusion about a relationship or are having anxiety or depression. You have Bipolar Disorder or ADHD and want help beyond medications. Perhaps you are going through a transition such as divorce. You may find yourself up against the "same old problems" at work or home. You may be trying to manage trauma. I can help.

Trust is vital. I am here to listen, offer support, instill hope, and give practical and effective tools to address your goals. Forming a trusting relationship with a counselor can offer assurance. With a history of working with people of all ages in community mental health, I became a Child Specialist, and worked with children, teens and families. I have extensive experience addressing depression and anxiety, I provide tools that can give you greater sense of power and success. I use humor and specific skills to build confidence in parenting, trust in relationships, intimacy between couples, behavioral issues of children.

I help people affected by anxiety and depression related to the difficulties of life, people who are having difficulties overcoming traumatic life experiences, or people of all ages who need some assistance finding direction as they move to the next phase of life. I can help you discover and remove blocks that are keeping you from achieving the most in life. I bring the knowledge and wisdom gained in over twenty years of experience working with children, youth, adults, and families to my current practice at Snohomish Psychology Associates.

Welcome! I'm passionate about helping you find relief from trauma. A trauma history may mean you have PTSD or C-PTSD; but, it can also show up as depression, anxiety, avoidance, dissociation, struggles with attachment and trust, emotional difficulties, chronic shame, and more. I believe in collaborating with you to provide trusted and knowledgeable care that will help to give you a sense of direction in your trauma recovery with your unique experiences and goals.

I have worked in a variety of treatment settings including outpatient community mental health, psychiatric emergency room, department of corrections and acute inpatient psychiatric care.

I believe that therapy is an important life choice that people make when things get tough. This courageous decision must be honored with compassion, empathy, and sincerity. I chose this work because I love to help people and share in their journey towards greater health and happiness. People have said that they appreciate my sense of humor, my non-judgmental demeanor, and my candidness. It is important for people to feel safe in therapy, and thus people can feel free to say what is on their minds and in their hearts and will be met with compassionate understanding.

I work with your unique situation in order to develop new coping strategies that may incorporate strengths you already possess. I work with you to discover and make healthy choices that blend with your values and overall well-being.
