Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Bellevue, WA

I enjoy learning about ways we can change and understand our human existence. We are thinking, feeling and doing beings. Cognitive behavioral therapy provides a framework to identify ways to do it differently and better. Trauma treatment modalities like EMDR may support processing neurological and physiological reactions and being able to feel secure and safe while staying connected to others more fully. Our story is just that; we write it and edit it. We get to choose the chapters and path of our lives, through the unknowns, mysteries and celebrations.

As your therapist, I bring several years of experience supporting individuals and families through crisis, healing, and transformation. My background spans emergency departments, inpatient care, child welfare, hospice, and community mental health—each setting has shaped my trauma-informed, solution-focused, and client-centered approach.

I am a well-seasoned counselor with decades of experience.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington and a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado. I have over 7 years of post graduate experience working with individuals and couples.

I hold a master's in marriage, couple and family counseling from George Fox, where I also focused my studies on trauma therapy through the trauma response institute. I specialize in trauma therapy through the ages, as well as family trauma therapy

I'm a licensed mental health counselor with a Master's of Science in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University, and a Bachelor's of Science in Health Care Administration.
