Traumatic stress and anxiety can come with symptoms that make you feel frozen and locked out of your own life. I believe the ways we learned to protect ourselves early in life often form a rigid rulebook that keeps us feeling stuck and alone in repetitive, unwanted patterns.
As your clinician, I aim to understand the nuances of your life, collaborate with you to untangle the parts of your story that feel heavy and unhelpful, and help you develop the skills to build a life that serves you.

Having a wide range of emotion is both a gift and a necessity. Yet for many, emotional experiences can feel overwhelming. When painful thoughts, high levels of anxiety, depression or numbness, and unhealthy patterns and self-defeating behaviors are present, psychotherapy can help.
I have practiced psychology in Olympia since 2013, working primarily with adolescents and young adults (age 13+). Before moving to Olympia, I earned a doctorate in clinical psychology from The George Washington University in Washington, DC and completed a clinical internship and residency at a hospital for children and adolescents in Virginia.

The world can feel like a lonely place where we are all isolated from one another. In a society that tells us to, ‘Pull yourself up by your bootstraps,’ and emphasizes individualism, we all need support and a sense of belonging. That can start with having someone to talk to.

We are living in challenging times. If you are struggling, it means you are human. Know that asking for help is a strength. My therapy is collaborative, client-centered, strength-based with a commitment to anti-oppression. I work from an attachment perspective that is emotionally focused. As a family therapist, I believe your family of origin influences the dynamics in your relationships and patterns of behavior. I believe connection is important in your healing. Thus, I work to create a safe therapeutic environment where growth can flourish. I bring my full self to my work – my optimism, my directness, my persistence, my humor.

I view counseling as a Holistic process of reflection, growth, progress, and change. In other words, gaining a more complete understanding of all aspects of Self (Mind, Spirit, and Body), and using this to find more life satisfaction/ happiness.
My hope is that through our sessions you can gain a greater understanding of yourself, the place you have in this world, and in so doing support you in understanding your purpose, and improve your quality of life. I believe that everyone deserves to live a life worth living, to the extent that their behaviors and choices don't impede on anyone else's safety or rights.

You’ve spent years doing what you were supposed to—working hard, showing up, keeping it together—but inside, you’re tired. Maybe anxiety, shame, or disconnection are catching up. Maybe you’re questioning beliefs that once felt certain. You want to feel safe in your body, your relationships, and your truth—without judgment or pressure to shrink who you are.

Depression, anxiety, and trauma are among the mental health challenges affecting our youth. Counseling exists to support individuals through these difficulties and equip them with tools for the future. Many of these issues emerge at young ages but can persist throughout life. Having experienced this firsthand, I chose to become a counselor to serve as a reliable resource for both youths and adults.
