Regence Therapists in Fircrest, WA
Have you climbed into leadership only to find that the title still hasn't quieted the voice telling you that you don't belong? As a high-achieving BIPOC woman, you may be carrying weight that others in the room simply don't, the exhaustion of code-switching, the pressure of being the only one, and the invisible cost of racial trauma on your sense of self. You've built a reputation for having it together, but privately, the achievements that were supposed to finally make you feel like enough haven't done that yet. Whether you're navigating burnout, identity-based stress, imposter syndrome, you deserve a space where that changes.

I strongly believe that all clients are unique in their circumstances and needs. I believe that therapy is best done as a collaborative process between counselor and client. My goal is to build a partnership with you in which we can explore your thoughts, feelings, and ways of being in the world in a deeper way. I encourage my clients to find ways of being their best and most authentic selves and help them challenge beliefs and feelings that prevent them from doing so.

Are you feeling lost, stuck, or overwhelmed? I can help you identify and access strengths and resources for healing and growth. I help people who are struggling with stress and overwhelm, a lack of meaning and purpose, and low self-worth issues, which can show up as anxiety and depression.
I love working with late-diagnosed/self-diagnosed autistics and anyone exploring masking/unmasking, authentic identity, or strengths and accommodations for your neurotype and authentic self. I value diversity and inclusivity. I work from a social justice, fat-liberation/HAES, LGBTQIA2S+, neurodiversity-affirming lens.

Maybe you find yourself thinking, "Logically, I know I'm fine" or "It was years ago, I moved past it" but you find yourself still feeling physically overwhelmed thinking of it. Or maybe you've lived with years of negative beliefs that keep holding you back. You might find yourself questioning your decisions, having a hard time setting boundaries without feeling guilty or constantly battling an internal narrative of "I'm not enough".

You’re ready to face the darkness and experience true healing. The good news is, you don’t have to face it alone.

In the whirlwind of life, we can lose our balance and drift away from our natural rhythms and the world around us. What we may need most is a space for quiet reflection, a moment of repose where our thoughts can flow freely. This practice is for those who seek a richer, more vibrant life—one where living takes precedence over merely existing. Here, I aim to offer healing and guidance for those seeking clarity, purpose, authenticity, and a deeper connection to themselves and the world. Whether it be life transitions, trauma and growth, whole person wellness and spirituality, or philosophical counseling I am here to help.

Limited daytime openings available. Anxiety, depression, self doubt, and daily stress can be so pervasive. Does the stress of daily life feel anxiety provoking and overwhelming? Are your job, relationships or friendships feeling stressful? Perhaps feeling stuck or unsettled is becoming a daily reality. It may feel like it's getting harder to thrive and telling people “no” feels hard or unmanageable. You may feel like you are alone, isolated and that you can’t talk with the people in your life about these issues. I want to help you figure some of this out, to learn to love and thrive in life again.

After 15 years of providing mental health services, I've helped individuals heal from trauma while continually refining an integrative approach grounded in EMDR, parts work, attachment, and nervous system regulation. Today, I bring that experience into consultation and supervision, helping therapists navigate complex cases, move through stuck points in EMDR, strengthen their clinical skills, and deepen their clinical judgment. My approach is collaborative, practical, and tailored to each clinician's strengths, style, and the clients they serve.
