As a board certified psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 10 years, I work with a plethora of inter-generational clients aged 21-90 who are struggling with anxiety and depression and trauma.

As a chaplain, I take a psycho-spiritual approach and work with clients assisting with intercultural issues, blended family dynamics, religiosity challenges and grief & loss.

I want my clients to know that I believe healing happens through collaboration, trust, and compassion—not judgment. My goal is to create a safe, respectful space where you feel heard, understood, and actively involved in your care.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), with over 25 years of nursing experience in acute care settings, I provide evidence-based, person-centered care for individuals experiencing mental health and substance use concerns. I recognize that every person's story is unique, and I take the time to understand your experiences, strengths, values, and goals before developing an individualized treatment plan together.

I believe that medication is only one piece of treatment. When appropriate, I also incorporate education, supportive therapy, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) principles, harm reduction, lifestyle interventions, and coordination with other members of your care team to support your overall well-being.

My role is not to judge your past, but to help you build the future you want. Whether you're seeking care for anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, substance use, or another concern, I am committed to providing honest guidance, evidence-based recommendations, and a therapeutic relationship built on mutual respect. I encourage questions, welcome open communication, and want you to feel empowered to participate in decisions about your care.

Together, we'll focus on helping you achieve meaningful, lasting improvements in your mental health and quality of life.

I am a board‐certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with a doctorate in psychiatric mental health, and I believe healing begins when you feel understood, supported, and empowered in your own care. I treat children, adolescents, and adults, and I work to create a calm, welcoming space where you can show up as you are and feel genuinely seen—not just your symptoms.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate in Social Work, and I bring both clinical expertise and real life understanding into the therapy space. My professional background includes years of direct clinical practice as well as leadership roles in complex, high stress systems, including serving as a Mental Health Director. These experiences have shaped my ability to support individuals who are navigating pressure, responsibility, and emotional overwhelm while still being expected to function at a high level.

I work best with clients who are strong on the outside but struggling internally. Many of the people I support are women, mothers, professionals, caregivers, and helpers who are used to showing up for others while neglecting their own emotional needs. I have a particular passion for working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, burnout, life transitions, relationship stress, identity concerns, and trauma related to past or ongoing stressors.

Therapy with me is not about having all the answers. It is about learning how to trust yourself, set healthy boundaries, and show up for your life with more compassion and confidence.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy, and I'm deeply passionate about supporting women through life’s major transitions- especially perimenopause and menopause.

Perimenopause is a common experience, yet so many women feel entirely unprepared for how disruptive symptoms such as mood shifts, brain fog and insomnia can be. Infertility, post-partum adjustments and parenting can also present unique challenges. My goal is to help you move through these transitions with growth, empowerment and vibrancy.

You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck or just plain tired of trying to figure everything out on your own. Maybe anxiety keeps you up at night, or depression makes it hard to find the motivation to get through your day. Perhaps ADHD has you juggling a million things at once, but nothing feels like it's getting done. Maybe you're in the midst of a big change; a new role, shifting family dynamics, or health challenges and you're not sure how to navigate it all. I want you to know that you don't have to do it alone. Life doesn't always go as planned, and sometimes it can feel overwhelming to carry. We can find a way forward together.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker with a Master’s degree in Social Work, and I’m trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My approach is practical, supportive, and focused on helping you create meaningful change in your life.

I believe that success looks different for everyone. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you move toward where you want to be—whether that’s improving your mental health, navigating life transitions, or building healthier patterns and relationships. Together, we’ll identify what’s working, what’s not, and develop tools that help you feel more confident and in control.

I strive to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported while also being gently challenged to grow in ways that align with your goals

A big passion of mine is supporting moms through all stages of motherhood. Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, adjusting to life as a new mom, balancing work and family, feeling overwhelmed, or trying to find yourself again outside of motherhood — you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Motherhood can be beautiful and exhausting all at once, and I love creating a space where moms can feel supported, understood, and able to show up for themselves too.

My passion is helping people navigate anxiety, depression, and life transitions across the lifespan. I support those facing challenges in young adulthood, work stress, self-confidence struggles, impostor syndrome, relationship and family conflict, parenting, retirement, and the search for meaning at every stage of life. Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!

I’m a licensed clinical psychologist providing individual online therapy in English and Spanish to young adults and adults throughout Washington State. I earned my Bachelor of Science from Cornell University and my Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) in Clinical Psychology from Loyola University Maryland.

Before entering private practice, I worked at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center and held a faculty appointment in Columbia University’s Department of Psychiatry. I have experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds and life experiences, and I tailor therapy to each person’s unique needs and goals.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker and therapist with over 10 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults. I'm passionate about supporting people in navigating life's storms, connecting with what matters most to them, and living meaningful, fulfilling lives.

I especially enjoy working with:

• New mothers and parents of all genders in nurturing their own well being through the world-upending transition to parenthood
• Parents at all stages facing the myriad pressures and stressors of modern life
• Adolescents and young adults navigating growth, change, and identity exploration

I’ve spent 10 years working with teens and families, and I care deeply about helping people feel understood. I create a space where you can be yourself and feel a sense of belonging, without judgment. I value both family connection and your privacy. Most of all, I believe real change starts with a genuine, comfortable relationship.
