Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Kirkland, WA

Many of the clients I work with look like they are holding everything together, but inside they feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in painful patterns. I support teens, adults, couples, and families in Tukwila, Renton, Burien, Seatac, Federal Way, Kent, and across Washington through telehealth. I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, low self-esteem, grief, relationship conflict, family stress, and major life transitions. My style is warm, collaborative, trauma-informed, and practical.

Welcome! I look forward to hearing about you. What is it like to be you?

I am a mother of 3 kids and 2 dogs. In my free time, I love to travel and experience the way others live; how they solve problems, what matters and motivates.

Education

I have a B.A. in Intercultural Studies from Biola University. I completed an MSW from Azusa Pacific University. I have years of experience working with at-risk youth in CA and WA as well as in NGO's. I started my practice in 2019. I am trained in EFT, CBT, DBT.

My training covers a broad range of areas, and I am passionate about supporting individuals, couples, and families as they navigate the many challenges in life. I strive to create a compassionate, supportive space where you feel safe sharing your experiences. Together, we partner to explore strategies and tools that are tailored to your unique needs.

I believe therapy should feel safe, human, and supportive—not cold or clinical. I’m a licensed therapist who genuinely cares about the people I work with, and I see you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis or a problem to fix. Whether you’re coming in feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected in your relationship, or unsure where to start, you’re welcome here exactly as you are. I work with teens (13+) and adults, individuals and couples, and I value honesty, compassion, and real connection in the therapy space. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered in your growth.

I've been in human services for nearly 30 years, and helping people heal, grow, and evolve is my passion and purpose. I started my career in teaching, and transitioned to counseling about 20 years ago. I have additional training in clinical hypnotherapy and energy/shamanic healing, which informs my work with clients (but is not covered by insurance). I consider myself a holistic therapist, and love it when clients want to include spiritual topics in their plan for mental and emotional wellness.

I enjoy working with teens, individuals, and couples who wish to improve their relationship with themselves and others and do so using evidence-based practices and individualized treatment. I got my Masters in Clinical Counseling and my Bachelors in Psychology and opened my Private Practice in 2020

I am a licensed clinical social worker who has been practicing for over 25 years. After getting my Masters in Social Work in 2000, I spent many years working in medical social work, helping people who were living with chronic health conditions. I also have worked in hospice and am able to provide support with grief and loss, as well as emotional support for family caregivers. I offer a safe space to process difficult emotions, as well as stress reduction through mindfulness.
