Everyone experiences anxiety, depression, and loss at sometime in their life. Often events and people happen in our lives that cause distress.

My goal is to help my clients find relief through self exploration and a desire to want to feel better. My job is to walk with my clients in their path to mindfulness. My goal is to provide a safe space for emotions to be expressed and validated without judgment. Together we will identify patterns and triggers, and create skills to reduce future emotional distress.

I have experience working with people experiencing psychosis, bipolar, personality disorders, trauma, attachment issues, and more.
We need help to feel secure in, trust, and make sense of our emotional experiences. When we don’t get the help we need, this often leads to patterns of feeling emotionally dead, chronically overstimulated, or, simply, feeling out of touch with oneself. Therapy is a kind of relationship in which we are able to recover our own sense of self by exploring those emotional experiences, large or small, that for whatever reason come to mind, stay with us, and make us pay attention to them.

At this time, I am prioritizing specific populations ( schizophrenia/ psychosis/bipolar/addiction).
Recovery and management should be realistic to each person’s individual capacities, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. I incorporate values, self-awareness, and deconstructing shame in my care. I believe in the importance of incorporating the state of the world into recovery; your care is driven by your unique experiences, strengths, and goals.

I have extensive experience working with psychosis, trauma, depression, anxiety, and existential dread.
I work well with people who are looking to heal and grow through a better understanding of themselves, usually starting with their symptoms. In doing so, they learn who they are and what is meaningful to them so they can increasingly trust themselves and become the authority on their life. Through this process, I help my clients deepen their experience of life, opening up themselves up to increasing meaning and wisdom. I encourage change through increased connection with the power of their own creative and intuitive abilities. I like working with people who are motivated to change, are open-minded, curious, reflective, and creative.

Along with my role as a statewide trainer and consultant with expertise in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Psychosis (CBTp) for the University of WA Dept of Psychiatry, I support private clients with a wide range of issues, offer clinical supervision for mental health professionals, & offer consultation & trainings for co-occurring disorders and CBT & CBTp.
Thoughts, feelings and behaviors, which we often aren't even aware of, can keep us cycling in painful patterns of suffering, and may deepen those patterns over time. Through exploring our experience in a safe and compassionate space, we have the opportunity to see more clearly the patterns that aren't supporting our wellness or allowing us to live in line with what's truly valuable to us, and to learn tools that move us toward a more fulfilling existence, regardless of how difficult our life circumstances may feel to us.

In the past 20 plus years as a licensed psychotherapist, I have walked with many patients through difficulty and challenge. Many of us have difficult experiences that can be overwhelming to sort through on our own. Without understanding what’s at the core of these experiences, we will be limited in making the positive changes we desire in our life. This deep work is approached with great care and gentleness, going as slow as needed, to be able to process and engage with many of our early life experiences, so you can experience profound healing, exciting growth, and lasting positive change.

Life is full of complexities. The most powerful thing that we can tap into is living a heart-centered life, learning about our own inner guidance. There are many internal and external barriers that get in the way of this. We do not have to navigate these things alone.

I approach therapy first and foremost as a relationship and focus on the parts of you that may not be fully conscious. Often, meaningful change happens not by forcing it, but by allowing something deeper in you—something naturally oriented toward growth and wholeness—to lead the way.

Psychosis Therapists
What’s the most effective treatment for psychosis?
The most effective treatment for psychosis is coordinated specialty care. In this model, a team of professionals works with a patient to address all aspects of the underlying disorder. This approach incorporates individual or group therapy, employment and education support, family support and education, medication management (which often involves low doses of antipsychotics), and case management to facilitate problem-solving as needed.
When should people seek treatment for psychosis?
People should seek immediate treatment at the earliest indication of psychosis. Symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized or blocked speech, and agitated body movements. Early signs that a person may be developing a disorder that will lead to psychosis include suspiciousness of others, memory problems and distractibility, an inability to think clearly, rapid or nonsensical speech, withdrawal from friends or family, aggression toward others, and sensitivity to bright lights or noises.
What if psychosis is left untreated?
Without treatment, psychosis can have significant repercussions, including injuries, job loss, homelessness, financial or legal trouble, ruptured relationships, and suffering for the person and their family. While early treatment for psychosis often yields the best results, there is no point past which it becomes useless to seek treatment. At any point, treatment can make a difference.
How do I get someone else to seek treatment for psychosis?
It’s extremely difficult to watch a loved one suffer from hallucinations, delusions, and other elements of psychosis—sometimes exacerbated by their fears of treatment. Have a conversation with them in a quiet space and maintain a calm, supportive tone. Share your concerns about behaviors you’ve observed, suggest treatment, and explain the potential benefits. Listen carefully to their responses. The person may not be ready after one conversation, but with time, they may come around.
