Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Kent, WA

You've taken the most important step, now let me support you through the next. I’m a Washington Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over two decades of experience in behavioral health. Throughout my career, I have worked closely with individuals and couples, guiding them through various life challenges including relationship conflicts, communication challenges, anxiety, depression, life transitions, perinatal health and personal growth. I will create a safe space for you to explore your needs.

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.

Throughout our work together, you’ll connect with the deeper layers of your inner landscape and root yourself in the present to find more peace in your day to day.
