Hello! I am an experienced, knowledgeable clinician that provides warmth, humor and safety for my clients. If you are looking for an easy going, kind and caring clinician, I am your person. Looking forward to working with you on your wellness journey.
Graduated from Boise State Graduate School after receiving my undergrad at Lewis Clark State College. I lived in Vegas for 8 years and am now located in the Greater Seattle Area. I am a Native American but love learning about all other cultures and lifestyles. I have worked for CCSD (elementary) for the past 7 years, but now I'm looking forward to working with all ages. :) I specialize in working with people struggling with OCD.
Reaching out for mental health care can be hard, especially if you have felt dismissed, rushed, or misunderstood in the past. I want you to know that I take a different approach. I believe people do best when they feel heard, respected, and involved in their care.
I work with adolescents age 13 and up, as well as adults, and I enjoy helping people make sense of what they are going through in a way that feels supportive and practical. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood changes, stress, or just feeling unlike yourself, my goal is to create a space where you can speak openly and feel comfortable being honest about what is really going on.
I see mental health care as a partnership. You are the expert on your experience, and I bring clinical knowledge to help guide the process. Together, we work toward a plan that feels realistic, thoughtful, and aligned with your goals.
Hi, I’m Angilee, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have over 12 years of healthcare experience and recently completed advanced training in mental health care. I’ve worked with children and adults in both inpatient and outpatient settings, helping with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and more. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood. I’m passionate about helping you feel better and take control of your mental health.
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who works with adults dealing with real-life mental health—PTSD, bipolar disorder, depression, schizophrenia, and the in-between that doesn’t always fit neatly into a box.
I’ve worked in hospitals, treatment centers, and correctional settings, which means I’ve seen a lot—and I’m not easily surprised. You don’t have to clean your story up for me. You don’t have to have the “right words.” Just show up as you are.
I don’t do the whole “sit down and I’ll tell you what to do” thing. That’s not how this works. I’ll break things down, give you real options, explain what’s actually happening in your brain (without making it feel like a lecture), and then we decide together what makes sense. You’re not losing control here—you’re getting it back.
Some people come in feeling stuck. Some feel all over the place. Some are just tired of not feeling like themselves. Wherever you’re starting from, we’ll figure it out step by step and get you moving in a direction that actually feels better—not just on paper, but in your day-to-day life.
No judgment. No pressure to be perfect. Just real conversations, real strategy, and a plan that fits you.
Hi, I am Edith. Thanks for being here!!

My passion is working with women who is trying to get pregnant, who is pregnant and who is navigating parenthood. My other passion is working with adults who were diagnosed late in life with ADHD. A lot of my clients are also dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, loss and life transitions.
Welcome to your healing journey! I've been a Transpersonal Psychotherapist for over 15 years offering mental, emotional and spiritual guidance. I help you heal your relationship to your self through self-trust, self-love and self-acceptance. My approach is shown to improve anxiety, depression, relationships & the lasting effects of trauma.

Hello! I'm Niamh ( pronounced Neve). I work with dreamers, perfectionists, those that feel stuck or unheard, underappreciated or overwhelmed. Many of my clients are pregnant or in the postpartum period. I also work with many clients that work in the tech industry, college students, therapists, aviation professionals, authors, and artists. The issues that my clients primarily have are related to depression, anxiety, burn-out and relationship stress.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience working with adults and families, I look forward to partnering with you and offering support as we navigate some of the curveballs that life throws your way.
I believe therapy is most effective when it feels safe, collaborative, and human. My approach is grounded, compassionate, and non-judgmental, with an emphasis on helping clients feel understood while building insight and emotional resilience.
I am a licensed therapist with advanced training in trauma-informed and parts-based approaches, including Internal Family Systems (IFS). I work primarily with adults, parents, and caregivers navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the impact of complex or relational trauma. Many of my clients are managing over-responsibility, boundary challenges, or the pressures of caregiving and midlife transitions.
I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and support clients exploring identity, authenticity, and belonging. I also enjoy working with parents of neurodiverse children and who may be neurodiverse themselves. My style blends evidence-based practices with warmth and flexibility, helping clients feel more grounded, connected to themselves, and better equipped to meet their lives with clarity and confidence.
