Working through grief may be the hardest and most courageous thing any of us can do. Too many people feel alone, lost in their grief, unsure how to process such changes, or unable to let the loss go. Grief can show up in many different types of loss, and I am committed to helping people navigate complex feelings connected to the loss of relationships, jobs, identity, or loss of religion or spirituality. As a grief-focused therapist, my goal is to help clients understand and work through grief while honoring the past and remembering what or who has been lost. Don’t feel like you must take this journey alone.

NEW: Book Club with Purpose for those that want to connect, learn, and be guided in personal reflection in an online mindful group experience. There are universal experiences that can cause us to question everything we have learned about who we are within ourselves and in connection to others. It’s in these times it can be difficult to meet life on life’s terms; when looking on the bright side, persistence and grit no longer get us through the day. This has been especially true this past severalyears. The most profound change being our ability to be connected to each other and having shared experiences to look forward to.

Hello! I am a licensed mental health counselor associate (LMHCA) working in Western Washington. I work with children and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, and behavioral issues. Struggling in any one of these areas can leave you feeling stuck, hopeless, helpless, and frustrated. I am an empathetic therapist who focuses on the client's needs. I will help guide you through these difficult emotions while helping to identify the root cause. I do not want to only help you alleviate the symptoms you experience but help you to deal with the underlying issue(s) at hand.

To quote Mariah Carey, “Love takes time.” I am a relational therapist, which means our working relationship and your relationships with others are incredibly important to me. Building relationships takes time and trust. Perhaps you have some life experiences that cause you to distrust others and maybe even distrust yourself. Maybe you're feeling anxious or depressed. I want to work with you to heal old hurts, understand current experiences, and help you learn to live and love fully. Reliving the past can be painful, but there is knowledge to gain from it. And maybe, in time, more love for yourself.

My speciality is working with children, teens, young adults, and women dealing with postpartum depression and women's issues.

Seeking therapy is a courageous step to take when life isn't turning out quite like you envisioned it would. I believe that this decision is one that should be met with unconditional positive regard, compassion, and non-judgmental understanding. I specialize in working with individuals seeking to manage anxiety, depression and other difficult emotions, have more successful and fulfilling relationships, and change harmful or unwanted patterns of behavior. I also work with individuals with significant trauma histories, experiencing grief and loss, or experiencing symptoms of severe mental illness.

Transform Overwhelm into Balance with a Fresh Perspective! How we perceive and process our experiences largely depends on the "filter" through which we view them.

Romans 12:2 reminds us to “be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” This renewal involves examining and adjusting our thought patterns to foster a more a healthier and more resilient mindset.

Currently Accepting New Clients! I believe relationships play a critical role in the way we navigate throughout our daily lives. We look to our partner(s) for support, validation, encouragement, and empathy. The security in knowing our needs can and will be met, fosters a bond and attachment that is safe and secure. When couples can concede to such emotional engagements, secure bonding can evolve, thus establishing a bond that contributes to overall well-being and quality of life.

During the course of life, we will inevitably experience many challenges. While some of these events have the capacity to increase our resilience, others have the power to overwhelm our ability to cope. The urge to pull away from pain is instinctual, and today’s modern society is filled with countless opportunities to numb, distract, and avoid. Unfortunately, avoidance strategies rarely solve the problem. Sometimes it can be difficult to identify the source of our discontentment, as well as the factors that might be maintaining the problem. I honor the courage it takes to confront these stuck places.

I see us struggling with a pandemic of loneliness. Especially after COVID isolation, teens and younger adults, especially are at risk of experiencing a debilitating lack of connection, momentum, and purpose. Loneliness has the power to drag down every facet of our lives. The insecurity and depression that creep up in the dark depths of loneliness keep us down and away from the connection that we need. Therapy can be the life rope that begins us on our journey toward the light. I work well with clients who are skeptical about therapy for any number of reasons. I am confident you can thrive.

I help women to be more confident, alive, and fulfilled in their relationships—with people, with their spirituality, and most importantly with themselves.
Current openings. Do you feel stuck in your relationships, career, or dysfunctional patterns? This isn't where you thought you'd be at age 25, 30, or 40. The anxiety and constant second-guessing yourself is exhausting. You feel like you are always "the helper" in relationships, but deep down, you feel unseen and resentful that your needs don't feel acknowledged by others. Even your spirituality has felt stale lately, leaving you drained. You need help navigating through the anxiety and negativity. Imagine having a deep sense of peace and joy with who you are right now and your process of becoming.
