As we journey through life, we will inevitably face many challenges and periods of growth or set-back. Whether navigating challenging emotions, life transitions, career or relationship difficulties, or confronting unresolved trauma, these experiences may result in mental health symptoms. Challenges with mental health can manifest as a sense of being trapped in an unfulfilling life, difficulty releasing painful aspects of the past, or feeling weighed down by life's demands. A common outcome of experiences of trauma, depression, and anxiety is the emergence of negative thoughts and a distorted perception of self.

We are a group of dynamic therapists, in multiple Washington state locations. Our goal was to create a place for you to settle in and tell your story. Everybody has one, and we want to hear yours. Counseling is a process that encourages you to examine your choices, your thoughts, your dreams, your barriers and your pain in an effort to create the positive change you are seeking in your life. We believe that successful counseling is a collaborative experience between you and your therapist; that finding the right fit is vital to that success.

My caseload is full and I will update my profile when openings are available. Contact my office if you would like to be on my waitlist. People are resilient and capable of change to improve the quality of their lives. Whether desiring to get unstuck from a pattern of behavior (e.g., ineffective communication or substance use); struggling with anxiety, fear, depression, or trauma symptoms; or facing a difficult loss or transition, people often feel alone in their suffering and desire for change. These are human experiences. You are not alone. Together we will partner to identify and treat the crux of the problem.

My approach to therapy is Person-Centered, rooted in the belief that every individual has an innate drive to become their best, authentic self. Throughout life, we may find ourselves stymied or stuck for an infinite number of reasons; whether because of past or present circumstances, certain experiences, or how we learned to exist in our environments. I believe that you are the expert on your own life – even if it may not feel like it. To me, the therapeutic process is about finding ways to become integrated, whole, and to live more authentically as yourself.

I enjoy helping individuals, couples, and families find pathways to achieve well-being individually and within the systems they interact in, such as family, school, work, or the community. Whether you are in the discovery of your self-relationship, contending with anxiety or depression, moving through a significant life transition, feeling something is missing in your life, struggling with a life-altering trauma, or hurting in a way you can’t identify and alleviate on your own; I intend to support you, where you are.

Do discussions with your partner often lead to yelling or angry silence? Do you find yourselves arguing about the same issues year after year with no resolution? Learn to restore harmony in your home with communication skills that create guardrails for safety (I sometime call them training wheels or bumper pads). When couples feel like they’re walking on eggshells, life feels exhausting. When the best of intentions devolve into disappointment, misunderstanding, and hurt feelings, it might seem like there is no way back to the romantic bond you once enjoyed. It can be done, and together we will plot that course!

I have over thirty years of clinical experience helping clients find lasting change in their lives. My clinical focus is treating depression, anxiety, and trauma. I have specialized training in treating complex trauma including dissociative disorders. When working with trauma, the healing process can often be frightening and painful to address. Talk alone is not enough and can be retraumatizing in some cases. I use EMDR. My goal is to provide a professional, yet personal atmosphere where you can experience comfort and safety in exploring what is troubling you and find effective tools and skills that you can use in your life.
