Teletherapy for Washington

I help women cultivate healthy relationships and break free from patterns of dysfunctional connections. My therapeutic approach is rooted in a deep understanding of historical and intergenerational trauma, recognizing that our past experiences often shape our present behaviors and emotions. My goal is to assist you in restoring your self-esteem, helping you recognize your inherent worth and value. Through our therapeutic journey, my aim is for you to feel more connected - both to yourself and to those around you.

I believe suffering revolves around burdensome ideals, fantasies, obsessions and problems in and of the world. These can stem from a mental, emotional, physical and/or spiritual tether. A disquieted heart requires a space to move in feeling and voice. The goal may be to get through the day or get through this trying season. I believe this is due to the will to live, breathe and be at peace within the unknown. Ultimately, a heart in mourning or fear desires to hope for a better day and tomorrow.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Are you having problems at work, home or with others? Are you struggling with drinking, substance use, stress eating, or just taking basic care of yourself? I am here to help, by offering safe, trusting, affirmative, warm, non-judgmental counseling. Life has its challenges and as a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner I believe mutual respect, trust, empathy, authenticity and compassion are the foundation successful practice. These allow concerns to be worked through together in a safe/private space! Mental health medication and weight loss help along with counseling offered too!

You deserve time to focus on and explore your needs, to explore your full self, to process challenges that you've experienced, and to be heard and acknowledged for what you've seen in this life. I enjoy working on topics such as life balance, self care, relationships, boundaries, vicarious trauma, and foster/adoptive parenting. There is intrinsic healing when we enter into relationship, and that's what counseling is all about. Counseling is an opportunity to have someone by your side as you navigate the current season of your life. It's about helping you unlock more of the potential that's already inside.

I enjoy collaborating with individuals and couples, especially those who identify as Black, Indigenous, POC or apart of the LGBTQ+ community, to access their innate healing power, reclaim ancestral knowledge, and achieve their vision of wellness. I practice with the beliefs that everyone is the expert of their own story, and have the power to heal themselves under the right circumstances. I provide support to those ready to process and work through past trauma, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, spirituality, identity struggles, multicultural experiences, and building connection and intimacy.

As a Native/Indigenous therapist, I work with an understanding that therapy doesn't look the same as the books. I choose to work from a holistic approach, helping treat the whole individual. I make sure to work through a trauma-informed lens, keeping in mind that we all experience trauma differently. Through my private practice work, I aim to work with BIPOC folks like myself and provide a safe, non-judgmental space to help normalize seeking and recieving mental health support in our communities.

Therapy and Consultation for Professionals...Are you feeling burned out, having trouble sleeping, difficulty concentrating, or feeling like you are not helping your patients or clients as much as you would like to? Maybe you are having a difficult time enjoying the work that you once felt passionate about? Perhaps you are finding that your own unresolved trauma is being triggered in your work and you are having a tough time being fully present. Counter-transference may also be showing up in ways that are not always helpful to those you serve, which can happen when we are experiencing compassion fatigue.

I love to work with older teens and adults from the comfort of your own home through telehealth. I offer a safe and trusting environment that is conducive to emotional and spiritual growth.

I offer therapy services to any and all individuals seeking support and healing in their lives. Many clients seek out counseling when things in their lives seem out of control or they feel unheard.
