I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate and Licensed Mental Health Professional in the State of Washington My training primarily comes from my time obtaining my Masters in Science from Seattle Pacific University. While in school I specialized in Narrative therapy as well as various other Post-Modern therapies. I have wide and varied experience ranging from working with clients in elementary schools to clients in jail, and everyone in between. Sometimes I joke that I have seen clients for every part of the DSM, but of course that's not true, I am still missing two diagnoses.

Currently Taking New Clients. I understand you are looking for help and this is the first step to healing your life. I specialize in working with couples, as well as adult individuals struggling with addiction. I see you as a whole person and am mindful of the pain you have experienced and get there are many ways to recovery. In my work with substance abuse I understand the feelings that come along with the burden of addiction. Will I be accepted; am I enough to be loved; do I belong? These are normal questions for most people suffering and questioning addiction. I create safety to help explore these questions.

I specialize in psychotherapy for adults with a range of concerns including anxiety, depression and relationship issues. I work with clients individually to come to a shared understanding of current difficulties as well as ongoing patterns that contribute to symptoms. Once we understand how and why these difficulties and patterns developed, we can then work towards modifying them and minimizing obstacles to change as they become apparent.

My first experience with psychology came at the age of 8 when my parents took me to see their counselor, Greg. He was so helpful to me and my family that I felt inspired to follow in his footsteps and become a counselor too. Today I feel fortunate to be able say that I love what I do.

We all experience pain in life; it’s a part of the human experience. Pain can leave wounds and leave us feeling fragmented. I am passionate about working with self-aware clients to help people integrate these fragmented parts into a more whole self. We will build on your own strengths and resilience. My work often focuses on helping adult individuals heal from traumas, assisting people in sharing their thoughts and feelings, and helping clients connect to their bodies through self-compassion and kindness.

Hope often sounds like a wishful word in our culture - but I want you to leave therapy with more hope - the gritty, scrappy, resilient kind. This authentic hope grows as you embrace your life story with all its darkness and light. You don't need to talk about everything at once, but just give yourself a place and time to connect with your whole self and pay attention to your life as it is now. As you connect deeply with yourself you are able to carve out space to reimagine how your life and relationships could be.

I firmly believe in our ability to make change in our lives. For most of us, change occurs through a series of small imperfect steps and frustratingly, not always even moving in a forward direction. Change involves evaluating longstanding patterns and considering whether those patterns fit with the life you want for yourself today. Embarking upon this path requires being gentle with yourself at the start and throughout the process. Sometimes even this gentleness must be learned and practiced. Please note that I have a few openings in my practice at this time but they are exclusively between the hours of 10 am and 3 pm Mon-Thursday.

Periodically we discover that something in our lives needs to shift in order to continue to be the best version of ourselves. This can be a difficult realization to come to and my objective is to support you as you remake what is no longer useful in order to continue on your path to wellness. My experience primarily lies in working with women and girls to address a variety of mental health needs including depression, anxiety, sexual trauma, self-esteem issues, developmental concerns, parenting concerns, infertility and postpartum difficulty. Working with the unique needs of women is a passion of mine.

I enjoy working with individuals as well as couples and families. I have a special focus on working with eating disorders, disordered eating and body image issues. I also see many clients for anxiety, depression and relationship issues. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation as a chance for us to get to know each other and determine if we'll be a good fit to work together. I believe the relationship between therapist and client is very important and therefore I encourage this as a first step!
