Multiracial Therapists in North End, Tacoma, WA
Does it feel like no matter what you do, things never change? You’re running on all cylinders, trying to be everything for everyone, including yourself. You tell everyone that you are fine. Managing. But you’re noticing how it’s impacting you. You realize that things need to change. Whether you're experiencing the impacts of systemic oppression, self-esteem, or relationship issues, know that you don't have to be alone in this journey. No two individuals are the same, and I tailor our sessions together to address challenges unique to you. We will work together to understand and address the root cause of those issues.

Looking for an alternative to “sit and stare” or wanting more than just validation? If you have battling anxiety, perfectionism, or the crippling desire to please everyone, you’re in the right place. Maybe you've been dealing with intergenerational trauma, academic pressures, or identity struggles and the burden feels unbearable. You don’t have to keep muscling through it alone.

I am a clinical and community psychologist licensed in Washington State with 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy services. I provide individual therapy for adults.
Early conditioning, unconscious patterns, and trauma can lead us to react rather than respond intentionally to life, leaving us feeling stuck in situations and relationships that are depleting and unfulfilling.
My work helps people understand and shift these patterns and heal from trauma so they can reclaim their personal power and intentionally invest their energy, time, and resources in ways that create greater vitality, joy, and fulfillment.

I also have extensive training and experience in cultural competency and diversity, and am credentialed as an Ethnic Minority Mental Health Specialist (EMMHS).
As a therapist, it is my mission to help you live a joyful, vibrant life, even if you are facing life circumstances or mental health issues that are less than ideal. I specialize in helping individuals and couples with ADHD/Autism and other expressions of neurodivergence, depression, OCD, anxiety, PTSD resulting from abusive situations, and compulsive sexual behavior. I have a special knack for helping high-achieving professionals. I also help couples who feel as though they no longer "connect" or who don't feel as close as they once felt. I believe you have the strength to reach your goals, and lead a joyful life.

Being a human is tricky. Change. Pain. Uncertainty. Over time, these experiences can affect our sense of self and the way we experience life. It can be difficult to face the experiences and mental health challenges that are impacting you, but you are worthy of health and healing. And you don’t have to do it alone. I’d like to help.

I believe connection is the energy of life. Whether it is intimacy with a loved one, the tender bond of family, spiritual connection with the Creator, insightful relationship with self, or avoidance of connection, it affects everyday life. Through therapeutic relationship, I work with you to discover your unique strengths and process your connections; empowering you to access healing and clarity. Together we will explore the internal and external messaging that keeps you from the progress you desire.

I am deeply familiar with the frustration, pain, and fatigue of not knowing where one belongs, who they are, and the terrifying overwhelm of what it might mean to build a relationship with your authentic self. There have been times when I was lost & unsure of where to go for help or if I was worthy of it. I want to create spaces for others that allows time to orientate, to be vulnerable, and have to space to try something new. I often support those with anxiety, who feel stuck, aren’t sure who they are or what they’re ‘supposed’ to do, who are questioning who they are or how all of their big feelings can fit into this word.

You've mastered showing up for everyone else — your career, your team, your family — but somewhere along the way, you stopped showing up for yourself. Maybe you're exhausted in a way that a good night's sleep doesn't fix. Maybe you're successful by every outside measure, yet still feel like something's missing. If that sounds familiar, you're in the right place. I specialize in working with adults — particularly high-achieving women of color — who are navigating burnout, work/life balance, life transitions, and the complicated dynamics that come with family relationships.

Do you miss feeling comfortable in your own body?
Maybe your clothes don’t fit like they used to, your energy is low, and you feel frustrated every time you look in the mirror. You’ve tried to make changes like diets, exercise, starting fresh on Monday but nothing seems to stick. It’s not just about the weight. It’s the emotional weight too. The guilt, the shame, the stress eating, the cycle of “why can’t I just get it together?”

You may be the person everyone depends on. The one who keeps functioning even under enormous pressure. But internally, you may feel emotionally exhausted, chronically overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or trapped in patterns that no longer feel sustainable. Many of the women I work with are navigating complicated family dynamics, emotionally immature relationships, burnout, motherhood transitions, workplace stress, or years of over-functioning in order to keep everything afloat. Together, we identify the patterns, pressures, and relational dynamics impacting your wellbeing so you can build a more aligned and sustainable life.

Life can be challenging and stressful. Therapy is a place where you safely address and process through your internal responses to life’s obstacles. If you feel out of touch with your authentic self, problems can seem insurmountable. I work with individuals to explore and develop insight around your own thought patterns and responses to life events. We work together to overcome those things that are stopping you from having a full life and bring you into alignment with your authentic self.

Are you never wanting to ask for help or “be a burden,” but also find yourself always saying yes to helping others? That closeness in relationships is tied to feelings of obligation, and your worth is determined by what you can do for others? So many who have been the caretakers, the “adult,” or the “responsible one” have often had to put their own needs aside in order to keep the peace. But when is it finally your turn to get your needs met? How can you learn to hold boundaries and take time for yourself without having to sacrifice your values and relationships? It's your turn to be a priority in your own life.
