Sometimes the hardest part of a traumatic experience is realizing that it can continue to affect you long after it is over. You may feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or constantly on alert. Perhaps you've experienced a serious illness, medical procedure, hospitalization, injury, chronic health condition, or an experience where you didn't feel heard or safe. Even when others tell you to "move on," your mind and body may still be struggling. You don't have to simply "tough it out" or deal with it alone.

I am an Art Psychotherapist and Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State. I am eclectic in my approach to therapy, as one approach does not fit all, and I employ methods from several modalities. In broad terms, my therapeutic stance is holistic and person-centered. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a powerful agent of change and, therefore, I value building trust and a strong rapport with my clients. Additionally, as an art therapist, I believe engagement in art making is life-enhancing and that bringing the creative process into therapy facilitates healing and growth.

On the outside, things look fine, but inside something does not feel right. You find yourself overthinking, second guessing, or apologizing more than you want to. Relationships can feel confusing or one sided, and even when you try to set boundaries, it is hard to trust yourself. Many of the women I work with feel unseen or alone in ways that are hard to explain. Often, these patterns are rooted in earlier experiences where their needs or voice were not fully supported.

Accepting new clients and most insurances, now including Kaiser (in-network). Offering telehealth and in-person. Are you struggling with major changes? Change can challenge our sense of who we are and where we ended up. After years of struggle and pain, how did everyone else matter and not you? They say that change is the only constant, but for most, change sweeps into our lives creating crisis, relationship problems, grief, loss, trauma, depression or anxiety. Do the same hurdles keep stopping you from getting on with the life you always imagined?

Life can get messy and complicated, yes? Sometimes, we just need a little help coping. We have the potential to be living fully; experience joy even during times of trials. "Meanings are not determined by situations, but we determine ourselves by the meanings we give to situations." Alfred Adler.
I believe we all have the potential to be happy and experience joy. It might take work but I'm happy to walk along side as your therapist. I've worked in community mental health most of my career so I will use a wrap around approach to provide what will be the best treatment for your unique situation. Trust the process, I'd like to say.
