Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Washington

My goal is that you feel genuinely seen, supported, and understood in our work together. I bring a warm, grounded, and collaborative style to therapy, helping adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, and long‐standing emotional patterns. I pay close attention to the deeper themes beneath the surface—your beliefs, your protective strategies, and the ways you’ve learned to cope—so we can create meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to help you feel safe, empowered, and more connected to yourself from the very beginning.

I'm a seasoned dually licensed therapist with over 10 years of clinical experience. I have worked with individuals who specifically suffer from addiction, borderline personality disorder, relationship issues, trauma, depression, anxiety, previously incarcerated and those in crisis. Iv also observed and supervised individuals in gaining their hours for licensure as well.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down by life’s challenges? I offer a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere where you can feel heard, safe, and supported. With over 11 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals facing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship issues, and major life transitions.

Outside of therapy, I find joy in my faith, time with family and friends, attending church, and camping. As a former foster parent and adoptive mom, I bring deep empathy and lived experience into my work with families and individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes.

I'm a holistic practitioner who considers a whole person perspective. I originally graduated from Aspen University in 2019 with my Masters in Psychology and Addiction studies. Then I pursued my Doctorate degree in Metaphysical Humanism with a specialization in Kvantum Energy Healing ftom the International Church of Metaphysical Humanism as well as became a clinical Hypnotherapist from the Hypnosis Motivation Institute.

Welcome, I look forward to working with you.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I offer counseling and therapy services via Telehealth, to adult persons in Arizona and Washington State. I've been working in the field for over 20 years, and have found in the last 10, that for most people, the online option has worked just as well as in person. It provides convenience, accessibility, and a more comfortable setting for my clients to be more open and engaged.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe that life is made up of moments that are both big and small, and therapy is a safe place to process the thoughts and emotions that go with those moments.
