Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Therapist providing online therapy for adults throughout Washington State. Before becoming a therapist, I spent nearly 30 years in the business world, working with people, managing teams, and navigating many of the same work and life challenges my clients face today. I enjoy working with adults experiencing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, career challenges, and major life transitions. I also have specialized training supporting first responders.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and straightforward. I believe therapy works best when clients feel comfortable being themselves without fear of judgment. I strive to balance compassion with honest conversations, practical tools, and meaningful insight that help clients move forward. Together, we will build on your strengths, identify patterns that may be holding you back, and create realistic strategies for navigating life's challenges with greater confidence and resilience.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, we'll spend time getting to know each other and discussing what brings you to therapy. I'll ask questions about your current concerns, personal history, and goals so I can better understand how to support you. There is no pressure to share everything at once. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and hopeful about the path forward.
