Great to meet you!

Hi, I am Edith. Thanks for being here!!

I graduated from University of Washington, Master of Social Work in 2012 and has been in this field for 14 years. I have worked in hospitals, and community based mental health. My passion is working with women who is trying to get pregnant, who is pregnant and who is navigating parenthood. My other passion is working with adults who were diagnosed late in life with ADHD. A lot of my clients are also dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, loss and life transitions.

My approach to therapy

I see therapy as a partnership where we work together to find the approach that fits you best. Using CBT, DBT, solution focused therapy and EMDR, we focus on practical tools that support daily life while exploring patterns that may be keeping you stuck. My goal is to help you build clarity, confidence, and skills you can use outside of session.

What you can expect from me

Reaching out for therapy can feel scary, especially when you’re already feeling overwhelmed. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so we can briefly talk about what you’re going through and see if working together feels like the right fit. My hope is that you leave the call feeling heard, hopeful, and clearer about your next steps. If you are interested in consultation before booking a session, please reach out to me and we can get that set up.
