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 am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Board-Certified (PMHNP-BC) with experience in mental health care since 2016. I earned my psychiatric certification in 2019 and have dedicated my practice to helping individuals navigate a wide range of mental health concerns with compassion, respect, and clinical expertise.
I believe trust is cultivated through transparency. I integrate evidence-based care with treatment. Treatment can open unique pathways towards emotional breakthrough and has shown a remarkable ability to reduce symptoms rapidly.
I’m from the PNW like sunshine, summer bbq, chasing waterfalls, mariners games and growing my garden and winter seasons. I love a good novella good food and family time.
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing care to adolescents and adults across Washington State. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma/PTSD, mood disorders, and stress-related concerns. My services include comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and therapy. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and supportive therapy to tailor care to each person’s needs.
