I am a Family, and Individual mental health counselor, versed in multiple modalities of therapeutic interventions, providing family and individual therapy, career counseling, counseling assessment, and multicultural psychology. I am very proficient in working with adolescents (13+), LGBTQ+ youth, Military families, and BIPOC populations.

Are you experiencing emotional pain, discomfort, or uncertainty around your sexuality? If you are questioning gender or sexual orientation, trying to figure out dating, wishing you could have more or better sex, struggling to relate to a partner, reclaiming your body after childbirth, healing from sexual trauma, exploring kinks, opening your relationship, or adapting to the changes of aging, I can help you navigate these challenges and build skills for improved health, pleasure, and connection.

I believe in empowering people to reach their full potential by providing services that are strengths-based, practical, holistic, and focused on promoting long lasting change. I work using a style of fostering trust and authenticity,starting where people want and ending when people feel their life and issues have changed and their happiness enhanced. I believe the relationship in counseling is the core issue in treatment. This is particularly important in working with children and adolescents where no work could be done without building a warm, honest, and caring connection. I believe healing comes through the mind, body, spirit connection.

I currently have in person and telehealth availability. I believe our lives are constructed within the many relationship connections we experience throughout the lifespan; and this is what fuels my passion to work with individuals, couples, and families at all ages and stages of life. Whether you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, communication breakdowns, school/work difficulties, or family problems, I strive to support you in exploring what brings you to therapy in an empathetic way that focuses on your goals though connection and deeper understanding.

As a therapist I offer witness, support and guidance for your unique life experience. Together, we will cultivate compassion for your challenges and help you to resource the skills and strengths you already may have. By identifying the symptoms that are present and the growth cycle(s) you are in, we can find meaning in your challenges and empower your ability to make healthy and authentic choices. Together, we can shed light on what may be eluding your current seeing, allowing you to recover your inner resources for healing and to gain new tools and insights for personal growth.

I believe that the relationship to our self is the most important relationship that we will ever have. A bond with a therapist who witnesses and understands us in a nonjudgmental way can be a wonderful ally in improving that relationship and making positive changes in our lives. Trauma, attachment issues, toxic families of origin, oppression, grief, and ancestral/family patterns are just some just some examples that can cause suffering that motivates someone to start therapy. I have experience working with clients with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, PTSD, and other mood disorders that make it difficult to function in life.

I am passionate about helping clients heal and transform through an eco-art therapeutic approach that combines art, nature and play. Working and playing in a natural setting, I offer a variety of mediums to encourage growth, both indoors and out. This allows an emergent and imaginative approach to therapy that adapts to fit the unique needs of each individual, couple, family and group. Moving from sand tray to clay, collage to art journaling, clients can walk outdoors on paths that meander past waterways and through old growth forests. With labyrinths, meditative walks and an enormous sound chamber, I offer many creative outlets.

As a therapist, my goal is to walk alongside clients as we explore their unique experiences and struggles. I believe that people have innate creative abilities when it comes to healing and self-understanding. Sometimes stress and trauma can block or limit our ability to connect to that innate skill. I utilize relational and strengths-based approaches and support people’s understanding of their own self and path. My therapy background revolves around trauma, attachment, and growth in parenting/caregiving. I enjoy working with parents/caregivers of children with complex social, behavioral, relational, and developmental needs.

We live in relationship to others. These relationships influence how we see ourselves and the world around us and sometimes we get inaccurate messages about who we are, who we need to be, and what we can and cannot do. I work with adults, teens, and families in processing life events and transitions that have made you feel disempowered and support you in remembering who you are – valuable, worthy, and resilient.

I specialize in providing affirming and competent therapy to people across a broad spectrum of gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity. I love working with folks who identify across the LGBTQIA2-S++ spectrum, as well as those who have other marginalized and/or non-normative identities and life experiences. My work is trauma-informed and rooted in values of collective liberation, anti-oppression, resilience, and intersectionality. My work is systemically focused, meaning that I work to support you in your growth as a whole self who lives as an interconnected and interdependent being within the unique context of your life.

Currently accepting new clients. Therapy can be difficult, but I hope to help the process with warmth and humor when appropriate. I am excited to work with adults, elders, youth, and children who are wanting to find a way back to themselves. In therapy we might work on building skills, gaining knowledge, or talking about current or past difficulties and experiences. I have a sliding scale from 90$-125$ and can provide superbills to help the reimbursement process with your insurance company. I cannot guarantee that your insurance company will accept my superbill so please check with your provider.

I am a telehealth provider across Washington State, and I am currently accepting new clients. In life, unexpected things happen. Challenges and bumps in the road are all part of it. Sometimes with the the help of another we can make room for and navigate through planned or unexpected changes. With the help of a trained professional, life challenges can become easier to deal with. During the therapeutic process, I will work with the tools you already have in order to tackle life's problems.

Are you looking for change and support in the New Year? Let's work together and find a path forward. Specializing in first responder trauma, perinatal mental health, and ADHD, I have immediate telehealth availability. I work primarily with adults and couples. 15 minute intro calls available.

My ideal client is motivated to make changes, is open to trying new things, in the face of fear of change. This person sees therapy as a collaborative experience. I also provide supervision to other therapists.

You are super kind and nice, except inside, you want more. You anticipate everyone's needs and everyone around you feels taken care of by you. Yet, when no one is looking, you feel frazzled and a little resentful. Others are happy while you feel guilty for setting limits. So you don't. Expressing your needs and desires, creating space for yourself feels selfish. Going for a refreshing walk? Not enough time. Planting flowers? No creative energy. You keep giving because it's just a little thing to do for them and won't take but a minute. Asking for help, or taking time for your desires, makes you feel guilty, or even embarrassed.

I offer a warm, nonjudgmental environment, specializing in adult individual counseling. We all experience times where we get stuck, when we experience crisis, when we need help. I seek to collaborate with my clients in exploring what has happened in their life and how it affects what is currently happening; and together discover possible paths to greater self-awareness, and increased capacity to love, to work, and to live with wellness and fullness.

I love working with people who sense that talk therapy alone isn't enough to transform those places in their life where they feel stuck—whether this be due to persistent anxiety or depression, trauma, childhood abuse or neglect, or trouble with relationships or self-worth. As a somatic (body-based) psychotherapist, I can support you in learning to listen to the embodied cues that live beneath your thoughts and follow them towards more vitality, ease, and resilience—and a deeper sense of who you really are. While our work together will of course involve verbal exploration of your story, we will always keep the body in mind.

I have experience working with Anxiety, Depression, and Life Transitions. Life can get heavy and it can feel like there is no way through. I am here to help you along the path that you choose is best for your needs.
