When working with children and adolescents, I will incorporate a family systems approach tailored to the developmental level of each child.
While I hold a diverse caseload, most people I serve are neurodivergent minors and adults in the tech and games industry. I value the chance to speak candidly with others. In a context of trust, genuine communication is a powerful and aligning force. I strive to maintain transparency in our work together to create a collaborative environment that enables the free exchange of thoughts and feelings. As we work together to meet your goals, you can expect compassion, flexibility, and commitment. I am personally and professionally familiar with the value of gaming culture and am competent to incorporate it into therapy when appropriate.

Contrary to what movies show you about therapy, I won’t give you unwanted advice or simply nod solemnly the whole session. I bring curiosity, compassion, humor, free expression, and movement to join with my clients and help them explore what healing means to them. I hope to empower clients to access their natural abilities and to gently disrupt the unhealthy patterns we humans often get stuck in using more than traditional “talk therapy” approach. My goal is to facilitate somatic healing, so your whole body begins to feel better as you gain new awareness and get “unstuck” from the patterns you’re ready to release.

Feeling stuck or reactive in old patterns? I've been there and I see you. I believe in the transformative power of compassion and self-awareness and the peace that comes with a calm nervous system. My non-pathologizing approach is rooted in the understanding that every individual comes with their own unique set of past experiences and I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space of present attention where one’s feelings and truths are valid. Working from a systems perspective, I conceptualize each person within the context of their unique environments, recognizing the complex interplay of factors that shape their experiences.

Many of us have known heartache that doesn't seem to end, feeling down without always knowing why, or persistent worry. It's my life's passion to join people who have struggled with these experiences and help them find clarity, fulfillment, and joy. I'm excited to work with clients as they dig deeper into understanding the "why" behind their choices and motivations, so they can ultimately feel alive and vibrant no matter what they face.

Do you feel trapped between your responsibilities — work, family, health — and a body or mind that just aren’t cooperating?
As a Health Psychologist, I support busy professionals, high-achievers, and individuals managing chronic health conditions who feel overwhelmed by physical pain, insomnia, fatigue, brain fog, stress, trauma, or mood challenges. If you’re juggling life’s demands while pain, illness, or burnout keeps creeping in, just know that you’re not alone.

Welcome to Creative Guidance, PLLC. I believe that our ability to stay in the moment, especially when things are difficult, can be tough. Wanting to escape the present moment is a normal human response. When we are able to remain present, that is where healing, wisdom and change truly lies. When we can stay with what we are feeling and experiencing, both good and challenging, we are then empowered to change our lives.

This approach is effective for children, teens, adults, and families, encouraging clients to envision their desired future.
My personal journey into the world of therapy began as a child. I vividly remember feeling heard and validated in a safe space, which sparked a sense of hope and possibility within me. This early exposure instilled in me a desire to give back and provide that same support to others. I realized that I wanted to become a therapist to help individuals, especially children and teens, discover their strengths and navigate their own journeys toward healing and growth.

I've had the privilege of working with diverse clients of all ages since 2015 and specifically in a theraputic setting following my graduation from the University of Washington in 2021. Throughout my career, I've pursued ongoing education and training in various therapeutic modalities, including CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, and Crisis and Suicide Intervention. I believe in the importance of tailoring interventions to meet each client's unique needs, recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy.

Family Therapy Therapists
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
