Are you facing a life transition, mental health challenge, or addiction struggle that feels overwhelming to navigate on your own?

You're not alone. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW/LICSW) and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor, I specialize in helping individuals find stability, clarity, and hope during some of life's most difficult moments. Whether you're coping with anxiety, depression, substance use, grief, major life changes, or the challenges of co-occurring mental health and addiction concerns, I provide a supportive space where healing and growth can begin.

For more than 12 years, I've worked across mental health, addiction treatment, crisis intervention, medical settings, and community-based care. I've supported individuals and families through recovery, psychiatric crises, cognitive decline, and significant life transitions. These experiences have taught me that resilience exists even in the hardest circumstances—and that meaningful change is possible.

My approach is compassionate, practical, and nonjudgmental. Very little surprises me, and nothing is too complex to discuss. Together, we'll build on your strengths, develop effective coping strategies, and create a path forward that feels achievable and authentic to you.

I currently accept individual adult clients only through Headway. I do not provide couples or family therapy through this platform at this time.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with individuals, couples, and LGBTQ+ clients seeking deeper self-understanding, emotional healing, and more connected relationships. My approach is warm, relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in the belief that healing happens through safety, honesty, and meaningful connection.

I specialize in relationship therapy, anxiety, depression, identity exploration, attachment wounds, complex trauma, and psychedelic assisted psychotherapy. I also support clients navigating life transitions, grief, shame, self-worth, communication challenges, and patterns that keep them feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves and others.

My work draws from Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, Internal Family Systems, somatic awareness, humanistic and existential therapy, and trauma-informed care. I help clients slow down, listen inward, understand their patterns, and develop more compassionate and empowered ways of relating.

As a queer-affirming therapist, I am especially passionate about supporting LGBTQ+ clients and relationships. I strive to create a space where clients can bring their full selves—without judgment—and explore healing in a way that honors their identities, histories, relationships, spirituality, and lived experience.

I believe therapy is a collaborative journey toward healing, growth, and lasting change. My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel safe exploring your experiences, gaining insight, and building practical tools to navigate life's challenges.

I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, stress, and challenges related to identity and belonging. My approach recognizes that our experiences are shaped not only by our personal histories but also by our families, communities, cultures, and the broader systems we live within.

I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Washington and have approximately six years of experience providing psychotherapy. In addition to my clinical work, I have over two decades of experience in child welfare, supervision, leadership, and social work education. These experiences have deepened my understanding of trauma, resilience, and the many factors that influence mental health and well-being.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Bellingham, WA

Finding therapists in Bellingham starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Some therapists focus on anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions. Others list training in approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy. As you compare Bellingham therapists, look for profiles that name the concerns you want to address and explain what sessions may look like.

In a smaller city like Bellingham, local therapist availability can vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. You may find in-person therapy in areas such as Fairhaven, Downtown, or Cornwall Park, while virtual appointments can expand your options across Washington. It can help to compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can also show how they communicate, what populations they support, and how they structure care.

Therapy in Bellingham can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you find therapists in Bellingham, WA who match your needs and offer in-person or virtual care, so you can review profiles, compare estimated costs, and book directly when you’re ready. You can also enter your insurance details to confirm what coverage is available for your plan in Bellingham.
