I am a licensed psychotherapist in the state of Washington. I work with adults, couples and teens who are at a place in their life where they are wanting or needing to make a change, but sometimes not sure how to go about it. My approach encourages clients to take responsibility for their lives but also helps to uncover what obstacles have gotten in the way of them feeling powerful, happy, and in charge of their direction in life.

Life can be challenging and change is inevitable, and with transitions there are many aspects to growth and loss. I work with individuals, couples, and family systems; often dealing with unprocessed grief, trauma, parenting, identity issues, and midlife decisions. It takes courage to communicate the strong emotions felt within these difficult topics, especially to those you love the most. I prioritize holding a non-judgmental space for these strong emotions to be seen, heard, and liberated.

I have worked with teens and adults who suffer from Anxiety, Depression, Parenting, Peer Relationships, Child Abuse, or Neglect.
My heart's passion and life’s vision, from the time I was a little girl, has been to help those who are hurting. My life’s journey, education, and training have led me to hold others experiences as sacred and I am honored when clients trust me to be there in their times of struggle.

I have worked in various settings including community mental health, inpatient psychiatric, with incarcerated populations and I have managed an international children's charity.
In my therapeutic practice I seek to motivate clients to build the brain they want rather than feeling stuck with the one they have. By harnessing the power of cognitive restructuring, we can excel at tackling complex issues like dealing with stress, managing emotions, changing habits, controlling impulses and navigating complicated relationships in the same way that we would get better at any other skill; through dedication and practice! I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques and skills to help clients set and achieve their own therapeutic goals and try to instil a sense of hopefulness and resolve in every session.

Limited openings available for partnerships. I reply to every email w/i 2 business days.
Past trauma can show up in our lives in tangible ways - cycles of conflict that repeat over and over again, floods of emotions that cause you to lose control, or feelings of intense loneliness in your relationship. I specialize in working with romantic partnerships who are ready to explore their traumas together. We will work to change the patterns that keep you “stuck” in the same arguments, and learn new strategies to help you feel safe in your body and in your relationships.

Through evidenced based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and ARC (Attachment, Regulation and Competency) I have worked with families and young children who have been impacted by trauma, LGBTQ+ youth and young adults, and people experiencing anxiety and depression.
Whether depression, anxiety, history of trauma, or feelings of anger or shame, navigating mental health challenges can feel lonely and isolating. And seeking support can feel intimidating and overwhelming, driving further disconnection. Therefore the cornerstone of my work is building connection between myself and the person I’m working with; I aim to offer a warm and welcoming space to engage in curious self-reflection, explore your thought and behavior patterns, work towards your goals, and foster a compassionate relationship with yourself. And when we can engage your own strengths and interests in the process, all the better!

I provide testing services for children, adolescents, and adult students.
I draw on professional training and experience as well as my personal life having reared an "it takes a village" kid to adulthood. Unique neuro-development makes life both rich and challenging. I see difficulties as issues to be faced rather than to be stigmatized or denied.

I believe that therapy is about mining for an enlivened authenticity while reorienting one’s relationship to suffering. In successful therapy, the therapist is providing for the client a relationship unlike any the client has had before, where difficult - and often vulnerable - conversations are fostered within a safe container. From this is born new and more adaptive coping strategies, ways to move through conflict and pain, and recurring invitations to return to the present moment - with compassion.

I offer both in-person and virtual appointments and work with adults, adolescents, and children.

Many people struggle with unresolved trauma and anxiety that impact daily life, relationships, and self-worth. My goal is to provide a compassionate, understanding space where you can explore these challenges and work toward a life rooted in calm and confidence.
