It takes courage to reach out for support when needed, no matter the concern. As a licensed counselor, I enjoy helping people improve and strengthen their mental health. My approach is warm and direct and centered on the needs of the client.
Thank you for stopping by. I'm a licensed therapist and have been actively working with clients for the past 23 years. Iv had the pleasure and experience and have worked with most MH disorders/significant life affecting events and across all age groups. My passion is to be authentically present while facilitating a search for meaning of past/present events. I believe self love is essential therefor self esteem development is fostered.
Working as a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, for the past 20 years, has provide me the privilege to focus on the importance of managing mental health concerns. I enjoy working with individuals ranging ages 9 - 92. This has provided me with the opportunity for growth, being able to learn new cultures, new or previous treatment practices in order to resolve they concerns at hand.
Some people arrive feeling mentally exhausted—like their mind is running a marathon they never signed up for. Maybe anxiety keeps you on edge, depression has drained your motivation, or ADHD makes everyday tasks feel harder than they should. Whatever brought you here, my role is simple: help you sort through the noise and find a clearer path forward. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, and life transitions, creating a space where you can talk openly, think clearly, and begin making meaningful changes.
I am a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, holding a doctorate from Johns Hopkins University. My practice philosophy is rooted in the belief that optimal health requires attention to both physical and mental well-being.
With advanced training and dual board certification, I am uniquely positioned to address the complex interplay between medical and psychiatric conditions. I have extensive experience supporting individuals with mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, and personality disorders—including borderline personality disorder (BPD)—as well as those managing chronic medical illnesses. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and grounded in the latest clinical evidence.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Yakima, WA
Searching for therapists in Yakima starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life changes. As you compare therapists, look for training, listed specialties, and therapy approaches that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, and what you can expect in sessions.
In a smaller city like Yakima, local therapist availability may be more limited than in larger Washington markets. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Washington. When narrowing your search, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before you book. Reading profiles can also help you compare communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns that matter to you.
Therapy in Yakima 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 therapists who match your needs, accept your plan, and have availability for new clients. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated session costs upfront, browse therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
