Eclectic Therapists in Mountlake Terrace, WA

I believe that life is a journey and everybody is just trying to figure out their own course. Each person has their own path and my goal is to walk with you along that path. I am chronically curious and will use that to help you explore where you come from as well as where you want to go. I have experience working with anxiety disorders, major depressive disorders, PTSD, personality disorders, conduct disorders, behavioral ussies, and eating disorders. I work with youth and adults up to 30 years and children age 4-7. I am LGBTQ+ allied and use culturally sensitive practices.

We are all authors to our own stories, and experts in our own lives. When our stories are silenced, harmed, or rejected, this can affect our lives and identities in many ways. It takes immense bravery to let a stranger look past the cover of your story, and you deserve a space where the chapters you wish to process will be handled with respect and care. Whether you are new to therapy or have been participating in therapy for years, I believe that my role is to sit with you wherever you are at in life. Therapy is hard work, and I honor this through taking our time together at your own pace.

Congratulations on taking the first steps to becoming the person you want to be. I believe in empowering people to overcome the difficulties in their lives.

My theoretical approach is eclectic and relational.

My therapy practice is centered in helping people discover the strength they already have, but have been struggling to use. Therapy can be useful for anyone, but sometimes finding the strength to seek out help can be the hardest part. I use a non-judgemental, empathetic, and casual approach with my clients to meet them wherever they are in their lives. Together, we establish goals and solutions. I work with those who are struggling with self-expression and effective communication as well as those who are having difficulty with identity exploration within and outside of relationships.

I'm not sure that I have an "ideal client". I am someone who is immensely curious about the human mind, who loves a challenge, and who always wants to help. I work with anyone and everyone and I'm always looking to experience something new!

I have worked in crisis stabilization, corrections, and residential trauma treatment, allowing me to develop a very well-rounded and diverse clinical background.

I have some telehealth availability at this time. If you feel I may be a good fit, call 425-640-7009 and book an intake directly with me. Thank you for stopping by!

Finding one’s self can be trying and often feels circular and defeating. Many people find themselves feeling as though they are continuing the same patterns to little avail. I believe that most of our behaviors serve a purpose for better, or for worse. By gaining greater understanding into our patterns, we are able to gain flexibility in how we approach life’s trials and tribulations. Through an authentic and warm relationship, I believe individuals can find ways of approaching their difficulties with confidence. Whether situational or organic, I therapeutically address most difficulties you, or someone you care for, may possess.
