My belief is that counseling is a journey we travel together. Our first step is to define where you want to go – discovering the reasons that you have chosen to meet with me at this point in your life. We will also identify your strengths, what’s working well in your life, and the things that can be changed to get you to your destination. My goal is to work myself out of a job as you develop the skills and tools that you can use in the present and the future to have the life that you desire.

Life does not always flow smoothly. The past, the present, or the future can seem unclear or full of obstacles. People can get stuck, feel trapped, and the road forward is not always in plain sight. There is always a way forward. In my counseling work I am dedicated to helping people advance towards being their optimal selves, towards self-acceptance, and towards achieving their most impossible goals. With experience and specialized training in couples counseling, with mental health disorders, families, and in crisis situations, I utilize the therapeutic relationship in all of my work.

I am passionate about providing quality, in-depth, and compassionate therapy for those wanting to understand themselves and their relationships on a deeper level, especially those feeling frustrated with relational and habitual patterns that no longer serve them. I strive to do this by collaboratively exploring your inner workings to uncover maladaptive beliefs, behaviors, or emotional responses that have developed as a result of painful past experiences that continue to shape your perception of yourself, others, and the world. I seek to understand all of the above in the context of your unique ecosystem of culture and upbringing.

I'm available for both in person or teletherapy.
I provide support for anyone experiencing any form of distress, depression, or anxiety. This is often expressed as unhappiness with your life, work, or relationships. Overarching my approach is an interest in the creation of meaning. How do you make sense of your experience? What do you want? How do you navigate life’s challenges and build reserves of flexibility and adaptability? Together we can explore these questions of purpose and direction to create new pathways. In addition to working with individuals; I am also a trained mediator and enjoy working with couples and family members on relationship issues.

I believe that all humans deserve to live a life that gives them personal fulfillment, peace, and more joy than hardship. I can help you work through life transitions, trauma, and all of the fear, anxiety, depression, and big emotions that come with them. I tend towards practices of mindfulness, grounding, acceptance, and nature- focused therapies, but my background is in biology, so I also tend to be pragmatic, evidence-focused, and like to help you understand the "why" of the practice as you take it on.

Through the process of psychotherapy individuals can explore where personal and relationship change may be needed and where old painful patterns may be released. I work to assist my clients with navigating life's challenges, strengthening their relationship to themselves/others, focusing on symptom management/alleviation, along with compassionate and creative exploration into the past to understand current impact.

Are you ready to take the next step in your journey of self-discovery and healing? Have you done traditional talk therapy that didn’t take you all the way where you wanted to go? Sometimes we can talk about our problems over and over without our body getting the message that the past is in the past. Neurofeedback is a powerful tool that can help you leave your past in the past, build emotional regulation, and increase mental flexibility. I focus on clients with developmental trauma, anxiety, and depression, though I find that neurofeedback can be a game changer for a variety of symptoms.

"Sometimes the bravest and most important thing you can do is just show up," Brene Brown. Making the decision to go to therapy is difficult, finding the right therapist can be even more of a challenge. I believe therapy is a collaborative process that must occur in a safe and accepting space to facilitate change.

Trauma can leave us feeling shattered, lost and disconnected. Adding parenting to the mix can make it that much harder. You might look successful on the surface, but inside you're triggered, anxious, burned out, overwhelmed, and maybe even feeling guilty that you can’t always be the present parent or partner you want to be. You may not even be able to remember a time things didn’t feel this hard. But one thing's for sure, you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to make sense of your experiences. You’re ready to re-gain control. Most of all, you’re ready to feel capable and empowered to be your best parenting self.

I earned my MA in Mental Health Counseling from Antioch University Seattle. I believe that having a safe and calm space through which we can explore ourselves and our identity can provide an increased level of understanding as well as new ways through which we can interact with the world around us. At the core of my therapeutic approach is the belief that our thoughts and actions form to meet a need based on the context of our experiences and our body’s responses, and that by understanding the individual and systemic context in which we live we can find new ways of meeting our needs.
