Connect with Dialectical (DBT) therapy in Yakima, WA

I am a lifelong resident of Washington. I love the outdoors and my dogs. I started my career as a paramedic for 11 years before I became interested in mental health. As a social worker in an emergency room, I gained valuable experience with crisis mental health evaluations, safety planning, and working with clients struggling with substance use.

Life can get messy and complicated, and sometimes we just need a little help coping. We all have the potential to be living fully, experience joy even during times of trials. "Meanings are not determined by situations, but we determine ourselves by the meanings we give to situations." Alfred Adler.

I work with clients motivated to become the best version of themselves and find balance with their mental health. I look at various aspects of wellness that contribute to your self-care, help understand where your thoughts and behaviors stem from, find ways to cope through life's challenges, and gain insight into yourself.

I am here to support you on your journey toward recovery and wellness. I work with individuals facing a range of challenges, helping them navigate their unique paths with compassion and understanding.

Finding yourself overwhelmed or just coping instead of thriving? Investing in personal work can help you uncover your essence and achieve positive & lasting change. As a family, couples, and individual therapist with 16 years of experience, my focus has been helping clients improve how you show up for those you love and working through life stress.

Taking steps toward better mental health can feel overwhelming. The good news is none of us are meant to go it alone. Licensed in WA since 2017, I am here to support you with warmth, compassion, and, sometimes, a dollop of humor. Let’s work together to build on the strengths you already have while gaining tools and insights along your way.

I’m a clinical social worker with a lifelong curiosity about what it means to be human—what helps us heal, grow, and find peace. I earned my BS in Psychology and MSW from Eastern Washington University and have worked in a wide range of settings, including community mental health, hospitals, emergency rooms, psychiatric units, and more.

I help individuals and couples heal and grow by addressing relationships, fostering forgiveness, and building assertiveness and boundaries. Through talk and experiential therapies, we approach challenges with respect, compassion, and hope. I honor your values and beliefs, creating a supportive space for growth.

I am committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental environment for each of my clients. I have experience working with individual adults, teenagers, and children, as well as couples and families. My area of practice includes a wide variety of mental health, family, and relationship issues.

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.

My life has led me to believe in the power of internal peace. An individual, regardless of one's past, present, and future, is deserving of the peace that comes from loving oneself and being able to show love to others. Ready to learn the tools and foster pathways to create personal peace and fulfillment? You can achieve this and peace with/me.

Welcome! I'm an LCSW. I'm glad you've taken this important step, and I appreciate you choosing to explore your journey with me. My approach to therapy is built around helping you navigate significant change so you can build a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.

People want to decrease stress, feel grounded, and secure. It's what I want too. We often become stuck in circumstances and in our own minds, which can cause significant distress and erode our sense of self. I can help you sort through difficult thoughts, emotions, and change behaviors that do not serve you anymore.

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.

Are you struggling with difficult relationships, grief, depression, anxiety, or emotions you don't understand? I want to hear your story and help you achieve symptom relief while processing the source of your distress for long-term healing. It would be a privilege to take this journey with you.
