Connect with Women's Issues therapists in Federal Way, WA

I specialize in trauma-informed care, integrating evidence-based practices to address how trauma affects you emotionally, physically, and relationally. My own experiences with adversity inform my practice, teaching me the importance of compassion, patience, and connection in healing.

I work with individuals facing life challenges, transitions, or struggling with health, mental health, relationship, work, parenting, or family stressors. I specialize in Anxiety, Depression, Grief, Loss, Divorce, and those making significant behavioral changes including Weight Loss and managing Addictive Behaviors.

I am a person-centered therapist who approaches therapy in a collaborative way. Most of my practice has historically been trauma (sexual, childhood, military, etc.), depression, anxiety, and women's issues. However, I have experience with other types of concerns as well.

I believe we all can benefit from therapy at various life stages. I'm passionate about supporting your journey to self-compassion and self-knowledge. I work with adults and adolescents experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, and life transitions. I enjoy helping people find their joy and their own path.

Life can feel overwhelming when you’re always the one holding everything together. You may look calm on the outside, but feel anxious, disconnected, or unsure of what you need. Therapy can be a place to slow down, feel seen, and start finding balance again.

I understand the devastating impact of undetected, untreated trauma on life quality and relationships from the inside out. I understand the emotional pain, the anguish, the confusing reactions, the anxiety, and the shame when it feels as if sometimes your brain is hijacked beyond your control.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State. I work with adults navigating life stress, transitions, and complex personal challenges. My style is collaborative, practical, and down-to-earth, and I aim to create a space where you can think things through and move forward.

As a mental health counselor, I firmly believe in the power of a holistic perspective and intuitive approach. To me, it is not simply about addressing the symptoms or issues at hand; it is about looking at the whole person and understanding the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit.

Welcome — I’m really glad you’re here. Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I strive to create a space where you can exhale, feel understood, and begin to sort through what’s been weighing on you. My practice is grounded in warmth, curiosity, and the belief that meaningful change happens when you feel both safe and empowered.

Life can feel heavy sometimes, and having a space to talk things through can make a difference. I offer a casual, supportive environment where we can process challenges, improve communication, and find practical ways to navigate life while still being able to laugh along the way. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, & more confident.

Do you feel like you’re surviving, not living? Many people feel stuck in patterns of reactivity, self-doubt, or inner conflict. Therapy is a brave step toward peace and wholeness. Using Acceptance and Integration Training®, I help you release limiting beliefs and reconnect with who you truly are.

I specialize in walking alongside people during their most difficult moments, helping them become better versions of themselves. As a mother and wife, I understand that life gets rough sometimes.

Life can feel overwhelming when you're caught in cycles of anxiety, struggling with your relationship with food, facing challenges in your connections with others, or feeling the frustrating symptoms of ADHD. Please know that you're not alone, and there's a path toward greater calm and clarity.

Your needs are my priority, and I'll let you present them in a way that feels comfortable and in control. I look at your personality and life dynamics and how they affect your goals. I work with individuals, couples, families, or others you want to include. Everyone has dignity and importance in meeting needs and goals.

Feeling disconnected and dysregulated? My practice integrates traditional therapy with the grounding power of nature through mindful connection with the natural world. Clients learn to regulate stress, deepen self-awareness, and rediscover a sense of safety. I also help people slow down, reconnect with themselves, and build resilience.

My focus is on listening attentively and engaging meaningfully with you during our sessions. I'm committed to providing the information, tools, and environment necessary for your success and healing. My approach is customized to meet your specific needs, and it's always non-judgmental and strength-based.

Your well-being is my highest priority. I believe meaningful and lasting change begins within a therapeutic relationship grounded in safety, trust, and respect. When you feel heard, understood, and valued, growth becomes possible. My role is to create a supportive, collaborative environment where you can speak openly and move to your best potential

Let's identify your treatment goals and pursue them together with humor, moxie, and hopefully insight.

I provide support to adults who are grieving the loss of their beloved one by having their grief witnessed. Grief is not something you get over, through, under, or around. Grief becomes a part of your life.

People want to decrease stress, feel grounded, and secure. It's what I want too.
