Let's work together and help you find your direction. My counseling style is highly consultative and coaching-like. It is typically non-directive, as I believe each client pilot's their own ship, but when the situation warrants, there is plenty of idea sharing and strategizing as well.
I have been practicing for 21 years and work with clients of all ages and various backgrounds. I believe that with a strong therapeutic alliance, we can mutually come together and help you find a path forward that suits you.
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.
I work hard to be clinically informed and Christ centered in all that I do with my clients.
I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to connect to others through compassion, meaningful conversations and authenticity. I started my own mental health journey when I was affected by crippling anxiety in my twenties. I felt alone and ashamed and really just needed someone to listen compassionately. I now want to offer this to others.
I received my BA in Social Sciences from Washington State University and went on to finish my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy at Touro University. I have three years of clinical experience and have worked with individuals, couples, and families. My main focus is: self-esteem, anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, life transitions, relationship issues, and communication.
I am a good match for clients who want to:
- improve self-esteem
- reduce anxiety and/ or depression
- improve how they communicate with others
- learn how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected and how they can utilize new skills to make changes in their lives
- accept themselves for who they are now, while committing to growth
- be as kind to themselves as they are to others
- understand and utilize neurodivergence to reach their full potential
I am not a good match for those who require very specialized care, including clients who are experiencing active:
- delusions, hallucinations, or paranoia
- suicidal ideation or self-harm
- addiction
- disordered eating
- personality disorder, i.e., borderline, narcissistic, etc.
- domestic violence
- obsessive-compulsive disorder
I am also not a good match for those who are seeking therapy with the primary or secondary goal of obtaining a letter or testimony from a therapist for legal, employment reasons, etc.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Tacoma, WA
Finding family therapists in Tacoma starts with naming what your household wants support with. Family therapy may focus on parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, relationship strain, or communication across generations. A family therapist is trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare Tacoma therapists, look for bios that mention family counseling, marriage counseling, couples counseling, attachment, family systems, or work with children and teens.
In a mid-size city like Tacoma, you may find several local options, but the right match still depends on format, schedule, and session structure. Some families prefer in-person sessions near home, school, or work, while others use virtual therapy to make it easier for multiple people to join from different locations. Attendance may also vary by session, with the full family, caregivers, siblings, couples, or individual members joining at different points. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for availability, approach, and whether they offer a free phone consultation to discuss fit and structure.
Family therapy in Tacoma can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find family therapists who may accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer clear profile details before you book. You can compare therapists, review bios, check estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
