As a therapist practicing in the beautiful Evergreen State (WA), I take inspiration from the forests and believe we all can grow and thrive in life as well. We spend so much time in our heads, why not make it a good environment? Yes, it's possible! And I can help you get there. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a Master's Degree in Marriage & Family Therapy, which helps me think holistically about the many factors that influence our lives and happiness. I have lots of experience treating anxiety, substance use, trauma and relationship problems with clients from all different backgrounds.

I use a gentle, compassionate and collaborative approach to foster a safe setting for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and struggles in an open way. I use a blend of many counseling approaches, including psychoeducation, cognitive evidence-based theories (CBT, DBT, ACT), somatic approaches (paying attention to the body's signals), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and motivational interviewing (non-judgmental collaboration), all with a trauma-informed lens.

In our first session I want to make sure you understand and get comfortable with "how therapy works" and get your questions answered! From there we'll start exploring what brings you to therapy and what relief you're seeking. As we get to know each other and I work to understand your struggle, I'll help us collaborate on goals and steps forward that are hopeful, holistic and actionable. It's not just about working to feel better, but also about helping you show up in your own life in a more skillful & functional way.
