Now working with clients in either WA or ID! My goal is to work collaboratively with you to address your most challenging mental health concerns. It is tough work facing and feeling things we typically want to avoid. As we get started, it’s important to ensure that you feel completely safe to bring your full self into session— thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Our time needs to be effective and results-driven, and in my years in practice I’ve built a skillset that utilizes evidence based practices (EBPs) in tandem with your unique strengths and innate talents and adds to your mental health toolbox.

Building more effective, comfortable thought patterns and emotional states, as well as behaviors that support your desire for meaning and fulfillment is a hallmark of the work clients do in my care. Mindfulness, grounding practices, as well as helping yourself to tolerate distress and begin to grow again despite it are oftentimes on the treatment plan.

As a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I can relate to clients from all walks of life and backgrounds. I want to walk with you on the journey towards realizing your mental health goals one after the other. You deserve functional, individualized care with humor and camaraderie built in— so let’s get going on the path toward a better & brighter tomorrow!
