About me
As a licensed therapist in Washington, I bring 18 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenging life transitions, mental health concerns, and personal growth. I specialize in addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship dynamics with a compassionate, client-centered approach.
My therapeutic work focuses on empowering individuals to develop deeper self-understanding, improve communication skills, and build resilience. I have extensive expertise in supporting women through various life stages, including pregnancy, parenting challenges, and personal transitions. My approach honors each client's unique journey, creating a supportive environment where healing and personal growth can flourish.
I am committed to helping clients work through difficult emotions like guilt, shame, and isolation, and supporting those experiencing social anxiety, panic attacks, and attachment challenges. My goal is to provide thoughtful, affirming guidance that helps you reconnect with your inner strength and move toward more fulfilling life experiences.
