Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Seattle, WA

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 use a solution focused approach which means I use modalities that suit your needs best. They include CBT, DBT, EMDR, and mindfulness practices.

During our initial therapy session, my priority is to create a safe space for you to share your story and understand how I can best support you. You can expect:

-Introductions & Overview: To discuss the framework for our work together and a chance for you to ask any initial questions about the process.

-Sharing Your Presenting Concerns: This is your opportunity to describe what brings you to therapy. We'll focus on the challenges and symptoms you are currently experiencing, giving me a clear understanding of your primary concerns.

-Brief History Taking: To provide comprehensive support, I'll ask some questions about your relevant personal history, including past experiences, family background, and any previous therapeutic experiences. This helps illuminate patterns and influences on your current situation.

-Collaborative Goal Setting: Together, we'll begin to identify what you hope to achieve through therapy. This isn't about having all the answers now; it's about forming initial goals that will guide our work and help you move towards the changes you desire.

By the end of our first session, my aim is for you to feel heard, understood, and have a clearer sense of how we can work together to support your journey towards healing and well-being. There will always be room for suggestions concerning our work together, including keeping each other accountable.

Where did you first learn what "enough" was? A hard truth is: what we fear is what we become. As a Christian + licensed therapist, and certified trauma professional, I help people move past trauma, anxiety, perfectionism, depression, insecurity, regret, rumination, and avoidance.

Now more than ever, we all feel like we have so much to lose when we try to heal. But it doesn’t have to feel like this. I seek to encourage clients to understand who they are beyond their diagnosis, understand their options, and how to move forward.
