I’m a licensed clinical social worker with a Master’s degree in Social Work, and I’m trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My approach is practical, supportive, and focused on helping you create meaningful change in your life.
I believe that success looks different for everyone. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you move toward where you want to be—whether that’s improving your mental health, navigating life transitions, or building healthier patterns and relationships. Together, we’ll identify what’s working, what’s not, and develop tools that help you feel more confident and in control.
I strive to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported while also being gently challenged to grow in ways that align with your goals
A big passion of mine is supporting moms through all stages of motherhood. Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, adjusting to life as a new mom, balancing work and family, feeling overwhelmed, or trying to find yourself again outside of motherhood — you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Motherhood can be beautiful and exhausting all at once, and I love creating a space where moms can feel supported, understood, and able to show up for themselves too.

You're used to handling responsibility. You know life is what you make of it and you normally feel pretty optimistic and accomplished. But lately you find yourself off-balance. You may regret things you've said or done because there was no time to really sort out the best path. BEFORE you cut off important foundation pieces- your marriage, career, activities and people you've loved that feel like they no longer fit, see me and together let's make sure they're not part of your protective alarm system, begging for perspective and healthier personal balance.
I am a family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I received my advanced degree from Regis University and a postgraduate certificate in Psychiatry and Mental Health from the University of Cincinnati. I completed the Community-Based Integrated Care Training Fellowship at the University of Washington. I have an interest in treating mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, insomnia, adjustment disorders, and PTSD, serving individuals from ages 18 to 99 years old in a compassionate and personalized way
As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe that life is made up of moments that are both big and small, and therapy is a safe place to process the thoughts and emotions that go with those moments.
Psychotherapy provides a safe place to discuss fears, thoughts, and difficult decisions we as humans must make during our journey in life. I believe we are capable of making life changes with the right tools. I am here to listen without judgement. I believe we all have a story to share. Being heard is one of the most important aspects of communication.
My passion is working with clients who have experienced some form of trauma in their lives. By sharing your story, we can begin to process the trauma from experience to a new understanding, while remaining in the present.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Tacoma
Searching for therapists in Tacoma starts with finding care that matches what you want to work on and how you prefer to talk through it. Tacoma therapists may support people living with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match your needs. A bio can help you see whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, acceptance and commitment therapy, or other forms of counseling in Tacoma.
Tacoma has a range of therapy options across neighborhoods like Hilltop, Proctor, Stadium District, and nearby areas, with virtual care adding more flexibility beyond local office locations. If your schedule varies, a therapist with evening, weekend, or virtual appointments may fit better than one with a fixed in-person schedule. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can give you a clearer sense of communication style, session structure, and what the therapist focuses on in care.
Therapy in Tacoma can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search Tacoma therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly with therapists who are accepting new patients. You can browse therapists, review bios, and choose a fit based on your needs, schedule, and plan.
