Therapist

Virtual • Washington


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.

Therapist

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.

Hi, I'm Ann; a license Social Worker with 6+ years of experience specializing in counseling clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions and parenting.

Life can contain joy and grief at the same time. It can be ordinary one moment and overwhelming the next. The same world that gives us friendship, love, discovery, laughter, and meaning also exposes us to loss, uncertainty, disappointment, and change. Those experiences don't cancel each other out; they coexist.

I can meet you where you are in this moment using therapeutic frameworks. I am an artist, gardener and a lover of the natural world. The sight of a hummingbird makes my heart full. I believe finding beauty in the world and being grateful for it is one way to find and sustain happiness or satisfaction in a world that can be pretty disappointing at times.

Mental health care shouldn't feel rushed, intimidating, or like you're checking boxes. I believe the best outcomes happen when patients feel comfortable being honest, asking questions, and actively participating in their care. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide personalized, evidence-based treatment while remembering that you're much more than a diagnosis. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported every step of the way.
