Life can bring moments of deep loss, uncertainty, and emotional overwhelm, and it’s not always easy to navigate those experiences alone. Whether you’re dealing with grief, anxiety, or a major life transition, therapy can be a space where you begin to process what you’re going through and find a clearer path forward.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker in Washington and Idaho with a PhD in Social Welfare and over 30 years of experience in behavioral health. My background spans inpatient psychiatry, crisis services, and private practice, which allows me to support clients through a wide range of life challenges. I specialize in helping individuals navigate loss, emotional pain, and transitions in both their personal and professional lives. Clients should expect to feel heard and supported throughout our time together. I want my clients to feel safe and empowered during their time with me, and I feel privileged to help my clients achieve their goals and improve their lives.

I've worked with a lot of people who thought they were permanently stuck and discovered they weren't. Clients often describe me as direct, grounded, and genuinely invested in lasting change.
