Regence Therapists in Ruston, WA
You desire to feel seen, supported AND challenged in therapy. You do not want a passive therapist that sits idly by while you engage in the same patterns you do not wish to continue; patterns that cause you and others more suffering within your relationships.
We will explore the waters of discomfort together and develop regulating strategies for coping in healthier ways. I work collaboratively with you.

My philosophy is that "knowledge is power" and I believe that every predicament can be an opportunity to learn and grow, but most importantly, the first step is to identify the problem accurately. As a Clinical Psychologist, I am passionate about helping my patients gain insight about their mental and emotional strengths and vulnerabilities through an objective and comprehensive evaluation by using standardized measures. Once all the information is gathered, I will offer extensive feedback regarding the results and make recommendations to help you or your child get the treatments or services needed. I work with ages 4 - 59.

I work mainly with women who are experiencing anxiety, depression, and problems with self-esteem and self-acceptance due to trauma, both physical and emotional. These experiences can bring up feelings of guilt and shame, grief, self-doubt, loss of identity, attachment issues, and possibly all of the above. At some point, working through these issues may lead to major life transitions, an area I also specialize in. I offer acceptance in a safe, non-biased space where I'll help you sort through the chaos of emotions and quiet the turmoil of your thoughts so you can find yourself again and map your path forward.

I work with kids, teens, and the grown-ups who love them. Many families I support are navigating Autism, ADHD, or Anxiety and want more than quick fixes—they want real understanding and lasting change. Parents often feel exhausted or unsure how to help, and kids may feel different, anxious, or easily overwhelmed. My clients are seeking a safe, supportive space where children and teens can build coping tools and confidence, and where parents feel included, guided, and empowered every step of the way.

My ideal client would be one in which desires to work on the hard issues, desires to listen to feedback and apply these strategies to their life to improve their overall quality of life. I have years of experience working with trauma related issues and recognize that it is difficult to unpack these "heavy" issues and desire clients that are willing to do homework and willing to apply changes to their lives through the counseling process.
