As a licensed therapist in Washington, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My clinical approach centers on helping clients develop self-compassion, overcome isolation, and rediscover their sense of purpose. I have extensive experience supporting individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, and mood disorders, with a particular focus on women's mental health and midlife transitions. I am EMDR trained and trauma informed. My ideal therapy client is someone who is open to self-exploration and willing to engage in the therapeutic process, even when it feels uncomfortable or challenging. They may be navigating life transitions, managing anxiety or depression, healing from past trauma, or seeking greater self-awareness and emotional resilience.

I believe in a holistic approach and person centered approach that honors your individual strengths and supports your personal growth. Together, we'll work collaboratively to help you build resilience, cultivate self-love, and move toward the life you envision.
