Hello there

I am passionate about coming alongside people as they journey towards emotional and relational healing, growth, and well-being. I work collaboratively with folks willing to step deeper into their own story (past, present and future) with courage and vulnerability. I am a Licensed Mental Health Professional in the state of Washington with more than 20 years of experience in nonprofit and mental health sectors, focused on trauma recovery, providing support in growth and development relationally and individually, offering guidance on navigating life’s many challenges.

A path forward

There are seasons of our lives that are more challenging than others. Sometimes we are entirely aware of the circumstances causing our distress. At other times we just feel stuck or uncertain. In any of these seasons we may experience unrelenting anxiety, feelings of despair, intrusive and disruptive thoughts, an increased or intensified interpersonal conflict, the development or increase of harmful behaviors, or all of the above. Entering into a therapy can provide a relational space where self-awareness can deepen, healing can occur, relationships can be repaired, and meaning can be made.
