I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I hold a Bachelors of Science in Psychology from James Madison University. I also hold a Master's degree and Educational Specialist degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from James Madison University. I have provided outpatient counseling services in multiple community settings including higher education, military counseling centers and veteran's counseling centers.
Hello! I'm glad you made it here! My aim is to support and empower you to reach your goals. I am here to provide you with ideas, insight and education as we work together collaboratively. I am happy to include anyone else you wish in your treatment plan. My approach is centered on a holistic, whole-person perspective.
As for me, I have two bachelor's degrees - one in psychology and the other in nursing. I completed graduate school as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have served people in my local outpatient community, inpatient (medical as well as psychiatric), in the state hospital, intensive outpatient programs, and more. I am also happy and very comfortable working alongside people with developmental disabilities, those on the neurodivergent spectrum, and those that are a part of the LGBTQ+ community.
I enjoy learning about ways we can change and understand our human existence. We are thinking, feeling and doing beings. Cognitive behavioral therapy provides a framework to identify ways to do it differently and better. Trauma treatment modalities like EMDR may support processing neurological and physiological reactions and being able to feel secure and safe while staying connected to others more fully. Our story is just that; we write it and edit it. We get to choose the chapters and path of our lives, through the unknowns, mysteries and celebrations.
I am passionate about health and wellbeing. I hope to be able to help people thrive. I work in a collaborative way with clients to identify the root of their problems, find creative solutions, and address their questions and concerns along the way. I aim to provide individualized care, not just follow a standard protocol. I have extensive experience as a diagnostician/prescriber in internal medicine, family practice, women's health, endocrine conditions, including hormone management and gender affirming care. I am passionate about mental health care and have experience providing treatment for many conditions, including mood, attention, and thought disorders. I have some experience working with children and families, and extensive experience working with adolescents, adults, and older adults.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Tacoma
Finding a postpartum therapist in Tacoma starts with identifying the type of support that fits your situation. Postpartum depression, anxiety, OCD, and adjustment difficulties are among the most common concerns that bring new parents to therapy. A licensed provider with experience in perinatal mental health — such as a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC), licensed clinical social worker (LICSW), psychologist, or psychiatrist — can offer specialized care during this time. Some providers also hold a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C), which signals additional training in this area.
With hundreds of providers practicing across Tacoma, Lakewood, University Place, and surrounding Pierce County communities, narrowing your options can feel like a lot — especially when you're already managing the demands of a new baby. Consider what matters most to you, whether that's a provider who offers virtual sessions, specializes in a specific postpartum condition, or practices a particular therapy approach like CBT or interpersonal therapy. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match before booking.
Therapy in Tacoma can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs for postpartum care. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a postpartum therapist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
