For 25 years I worked with over 16,000 suicidal patients on the mental health unit of St. Francis Hospital with my office partner, Psychiatrist Dr. Sunida Bintasan, From observing their common patterns, I created an educational program (for persons with issues of deep despair, hopelessness, depression, feeling "LOST" & "TRAPPED" & "STUCK", and often with recurrent suicidal thinking) called Contextual-Conceptual Therapy (CCT). Combining expressive arts techniques, education, and therapy using "maps, models, & metaphors", it helps clients discover the roots of their deep despair, feeling trapped & lost, and/or suicidal thinking.

Licensed in Washington and Idaho - In our sessions I'll help you to identify what you (and your partner, if couples therapy) would like to see improved and how you visualize yourself, your relationship, and really your life by the end of therapy. From there I help you to recognize patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that may be keeping you stuck. My approach to helping you in this process is through a ‘person-centered’ therapeutic lens, as I trust that you are the expert in your life and that I am here to help you to understand your potential for positive change and to help facilitate that change.

As both a therapist and yoga teacher, I believe we have the capacity to access our own inner knowing and sense of awareness. Sometimes we just need some redirection about how to get there. I believe in a compassionate approach to therapy, which expands resiliency, encourages self-agency, and invites discovery.

My clients are often aware of their struggles but may not possess the right skills in combatting plaguing thoughts or self-doubt. My clients can feel extremely aware of their space and understand that healing is a process that isn't always linear. I believe that my clients are able to be honest about their expectations of counseling and opportunities for us to collaborate towards care together.

I am an experienced pragmatic psychotherapist who also does psychological evaluations. My ideal client is one who has self doubts, experiences guilt and shame, yet has potential to be a highly fulfilled person. Such a person may have insecurities in work and relationships, yet be but one step away from doing well in these areas. I have had a wide exposure to a diverse set of problems in living in my career.

Regardless of who walks through my office door and what issues they’d like to tackle, my first focus as a clinician is to provide a safe and collaborative space. You may be experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, a seismic transition, are unsatisfied with the direction and quality of your work or relationships, or just feel there are too many seemingly insurmountable barriers to living the kind of existence you want and imagine. I am particularly interested in working with those facing menopause, people that struggle with boundary-setting, struggles with substance use, and those facing deep life transitions.

Emotions are often like water. They slip through our fingers, overwhelm us in crashes, ebb & flow like waves. Therapy can be a place to explore the depths of our emotional experiences, building our capacity to hold them, and our ability to learn from them. My training in existential phenomenological psychology provides my grounding, meaning your experience is central to our sessions. I approach therapy with an integrative practice, mixing theories and modalities to find the right tools for each person I work with. I will ask what has and hasn't worked for you in the past, and individualize our time together to meet your needs.

At some point, many of us can be overwhelmed by feelings anxiety, anger, disconnectedness -- or maybe we simply feel stuck in life. These painful places are not just emotional experiences; they can also be seen as spiritual. They carry the potential to transform us. The key to unlocking such transformation is to listen deeply enough to discover the meaning inherent in our most difficult experiences. I can help you to do that; it is the work I love to do. My goal is to help you discover greater freedom by connecting with your own deepest wisdom.

I do not see the term “mental health” as meaning “absence of stress, problems or psychological challenges,” but the learned ability to keep on functioning and living your best life possible, in spite of these things. Thank you for considering letting me witness and, hopefully, take part in your story!

You are likely seeking relief and clarity to thoughts, behaviors, and feelings that are not working for you. Simply put, something is stuck. I work with people to transform painful and frustrating experiences. For some, this looks like grief work. Others explore relationship struggles. I work with clients to bring awareness to their body, mind, and spirit to assist them in growing a deeper sense of their stories and desires. My ultimate goal is that you will have a growing sense of what it means for you to engage your world with a deepening sense of aliveness.

My approach to therapy is authentic, warm, and honest. I use a collaborative and non-judgmental approach with my clients to support them in discovering their goals for therapy, finding new perspectives, and disrupting harmful patterns that may be showing up. I draw from a number of evidence-based treatment styles and tailor my approach to each individual but am inherently person-centered and strengths-based.

Our life is a map and when we experience a roadblock, like a death or other significant life change, it can stop us in our tracks. Such changes can leave us feeling lonely, angry, hopeless and grieving. We are looking for clarity and validation that we are not alone. I have moved through many of these roadblocks myself and I understand how debilitating grief is. I also know the value of having a safe space to share where all feelings are acknowledged and validated. My background is in medical social work, specifically Palliative Care and Hospice.

Our bodies hold deep wisdom, but for many, as the result of trauma, relationship wounds, and oppression, that connection gets interrupted. This means we learn to ignore our needs, wants, and feelings, and turn to strategies such as perfectionism, eating disorders, and dissociation to help manage. You might notice you have difficulty connecting to your feelings or feel overwhelmed by them, and while people might think you are “ok” on the outside, it feels much different on the inside. I believe that healing this disconnection can happen in the context of a safe, supportive relationship, like therapy.
