Mental health has been a deeply personal passion of mine for most of my life — growing up with a family history of mental health challenges gave me an early understanding of how much the right support can change someone's life. I specialize in treating ADHD, anxiety, and depression, and I work with many clients who come to me feeling anxious, overwhelmed, burned out, and unsure of where to turn. What sets me apart is that I genuinely listen — not just to what you're saying, but to what's beneath it. Outside of my work, you can find me hiking, spending time at the beach, or getting lost in music, all of which remind me of the importance of balance and restoration, values I bring into my practice every day.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

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.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Tacoma

Finding the right therapist for OCD in Tacoma starts with looking for a provider trained in evidence-based approaches. Some providers use structured therapy approaches to support people with OCD; a qualified healthcare professional can help determine what approach may be appropriate. Some providers may also incorporate other therapeutic methods depending on a person's needs. When reviewing potential therapists, look for someone who names OCD as a primary focus rather than one item on a long list of specialties.

Tacoma and the surrounding Pierce County area — including Lakewood, University Place, Puyallup, and Gig Harbor — have a range of licensed providers who work with OCD. Whether you prefer in-person sessions or virtual appointments, consider what matters most to you: a provider's specific training, their therapeutic style, scheduling availability, or proximity to your neighborhood. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach and decide if they match your preferences.

Therapy for OCD in Tacoma can be costly without insurance. Using in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before booking, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an OCD specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
