Great to meet you!

I have been in the field for nearly two decades. I am a licensed clinical social worker and a mental health professional in the State of Washington. I work with folks with a wide variety of problems including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, compassion fatigue, existential crisis, and many other struggles. I am collaborative in my approach and will work with you on a plan that is tailored to your unique situation. I am taking on new clients currently and have weekly and bi-monthly availability.

My approach to therapy

My goal in therapy is to first get a solid understanding of what you are experiencing. Then we collaboratively build a plan of action. Over time we adjust that plan and continue to work on it until we get you to a better place than when you sought out therapy.

What you can expect from me

I try to tailor my sessions to how you learn best. Depending on the needs of the client that may include homework sheets, YouTube videos, books to read, questions to ponder, journaling, and if you have homework aversion we can work around that as well.
