Counselor, MS, CN, LMHC, LPC

My path to the study of nutrition and counseling began in 2008 when my doctor helped me realize the connection between my mood and my choices in food. She suggested a dietary shift that changed my life. After many years of study and clinical work I've learned many other ways to help the brain and body through nutrition and counseling. From 2012-2014 I worked as an intern therapist at Seattle Counseling Service where I taught an ongoing Food & Mood group. Since then I have worked in private practice helping people with food and mental health issues.

My healing begins from a place of connection and an appreciation of your potential and the power we have to impact each other. I will support you in your search for greater meaning, emotional awareness and empowerment in a world that can be overwhelming and isolating. We will begin a thoughtful exploration of how your past experiences and relationships impact you presently. Together we can uncover and co-create new meanings out of your experiences, and these new understandings can give you the power to relate differently to yourself and others.

I work with individuals who have difficulties with mood, anxiety, mental rumination, and obsessiveness. Although these issues are personal, they also effect one's relationships and the ability to fulfill one's deepest longings. Although symptoms will be addressed, I always place one's struggles in context of the whole person and their relationships past and present. I strive to be authentic as a therapist and create space for you and your unique experiences to emerge in a way that builds trust, honesty, and genuine collaboration.

I have an extensive background working with adults of all ages. This includes providing supervision for Master's level clinicians working towards licensure and/or Geriatric Mental Health specialization. I am currently moving away from counseling. I plan to focus only on providing supervision for licensure and supervision for GMHS. I have loved working with adults of any age as they've uncovered their strengths and worked towards their goals. I use this same approach for licensure supervision.

Immediate availability Wednesday and Thursday before 1pm! I believe the most successful outcomes require a good fit between the client and the therapist, and I strive to work collaboratively with clients to help them live a more satisfying and fulfilling life. I understand that every problem is unique, and I enjoy working with complex feelings and situations, making sense of them, and working through them alongside my clients. I approach my work using a client-centered, strengths-based model, and make it a point to check in regarding the progress of treatment.

Life as an ADHDer can feel like persisting in a world not built for you. Society has taught you that there's something wrong with your neurodivergence. You got that message from teachers if school became too overwhelming and you couldn't find new coping skills. Or you've had to work harder and longer a job that you're not sure you enjoy just to keep up. Even those closest to you may not fully understand your experiences or appreciate your strengths because of your struggles with organization, time management, impulsivity, and sensitivity. All of this is more confusing if you were diagnosed as an adult or aren't yet diagnosed.

September 2023 update: I have immediate in-person and online availability. - Welcome. Maybe you're here because of an old current of suffering, branched out in channels, running wild under the surface of things. Or maybe it's more specific - an event long past or currently unraveling. Maybe you feel plagued by a background hum of panic, or an old wound that just won’t seem to heal. Maybe you feel trapped in patterns that keep repeating, a chronic emptiness, or a confusing internal force that blocks your efforts to fully work, or love, or play. And you want something more from life - more capacity, more ease, more joy.

As human being, I know that life situations could be difficult to manage by our own. However, past traumas, bad relationships (toxic/domestic abuse), stress, divorces, financial struggles, mental health disorders, depression, grieves...DON"T have to determine our life moving forward. IT IS POSSIBLE to recover from those big stones that we find in our life path! I love to work with my clients from a healing/recovery perspective and none judgmental attitude to help them get a better quality of life.

I am licensed in Washington State and I work with adult children, partners and siblings of individuals with Narcissistic and Borderline Personality Disorder traits. It can be difficult to find a therapist who truly understands the impact and wounds of being raised in a home or being in a relationship with someone who has narcissistic traits or borderline traits. My work includes creating a healthy psychological separation, changing the negative internal messages, learning how to respond to others, creating healthy boundaries, stopping the legacy of distorted love and becoming your true and authentic self.

Everyone has stress and problems, but when those two things are causing you to feel emotionally drained, with little energy, and unable to rest, it’s time for support. Change doesn’t happen instantly, but if you are here, you are willing to begin.

I believe that all people are inherently deserving of intimacy, compassion, and love. Often, the biggest challenge is giving these things to ourselves. Only through coming to understand and love ourselves can we understand and love the world around us. Many of us have internalized the messaging that we don’t deserve to have our needs met, whether that messaging came from our family, our romantic partners, or culture at large. I believe in the inherent potential of all people to grow, change, and find their best selves. This applies equally to individuals and relationships: we can best love our partners when we best love ourselves.

Is online therapy a good option?

To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
