Great to meet you!

I have spent the last 20 years in the Social Service field, graduated with my MSW in 2017, and have been providing therapy since 2018 in the Tacoma area. I specialize in Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused, and EMDR.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I will work with you to tailor services to find the approach that best suits your needs and personality. Whether you are looking to work on significant life events or traumas, wanting to gain insight into work, home, or social challenges, or struggling with depression or anxiety, together, we will come up with a plan of action to address the areas in your life that lead you to seek services.

What you can expect from our first session

I will work with you so you can set your own goals and outcomes, you are the expert in your life, not me. I strive to meet people where they are and offer a non-judgemental space for all.
