Sometimes, knowing how to move forward is the hardest part, and engaging in therapy can be a difficult first step towards change. My goal is to provide a supportive environment for you to express yourself, improve your insight, address struggles, process difficult experiences, and grow as an individual.

I’m a licensed therapist with 18+ years of experience helping high-achieving adults navigate trauma, anxiety, ADHD, and burnout. I offer a warm, collaborative space where we use approaches like EMDR, IFS, and CBT to create meaningful, lasting change—not just short-term coping. My goal is to help you feel more grounded and secure.

I am licensed in Washington with 4 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, & depression.

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.

I am happy you came to my bio! I believe the therapy that helps the most is genuine and authentic. Therapy is a place where people can tell the truth about their lives without having to perform, defend, or pretend. When people are given the space to explore honestly, possibilities instead of limits are discovered.

Did some things happen to you that make it hard moving forward and making sense of your situation? Do you feel your pain is hard to share with others and open up with confidence? My goal is to guide you through your narrative, and if not get back to your old self, then find the way to get out of your situation stronger and with more insight.
