Therapist

Let's stop the anxiety spiral together! I I work with adolescents and adults. Drop your mask in here and learn to stop apologizing for who you truly are. Feel more comfortables in situations and stop spiraling using practical tools. It's time to stop feeling ashamed how how you think things should be! Anxiety, Trauma, ADHD and creative burnout can be overwhelming. Perhaps your brain won't turn off at night, decision-making feels impossible, or even basic tasks drain your energy. Especially when they show up in every part of life; work, your relationships, kids or parenting. That's okay. We can work with your brain and body.

About Me

Struggling with PTSD, anxiety, depression, and/or chronic illness and still feeling stuck? Many of my clients have done years of talk therapy but continue to feel disconnected. You understand your patterns intellectually, but your nervous system hasn't caught up yet.

In my 22 years of clinical practice, I have found that nervous system dysregulation sits at the crux of all chronic illness, trapping the body in survival mode and blocking true physical and emotional healing. As a University of Washington graduate, I provide culturally sensitive, evidence-based care specializing in trauma resolution, discovering your true life purpose, and helping individuals make meaning out of tragedies. My approach balances academic and clinical rigor with a highly intuitive style, integrating somatic work and core beliefs to create deep, lasting relief. I describe myself as a direct, compassionate "soul sister" with a humorous, no-nonsense style—because let's face it, the human plight is nuts! Beyond individual therapy, I extend this transformative work to the community by offering interactive public workshops designed to help people get out of their heads and step into integrated change.
