I work with individuals, couples, and families of all ages. I have a Masters in Clinical Health Psychology and a Masters in Nutrition/Dietetics, which helps lend to a holistic approach to my work with clients. I commonly work with health behavioral change, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, ADHD, OCD, and relationship change. My treatment approach utilizes a biopsychosocial lense in long-term therapy based in psychodynamic, strengths-based, and integrative work in overall health. I utilize coping skills from CBT, DBT, ACT, and Mindfulness. I incorporated life-skills such a assertiveness, boundaries, and career.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Yakima
Searching for therapists in Yakima starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life changes. As you compare therapists, look for training, listed specialties, and therapy approaches that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, and what you can expect in sessions.
In a smaller city like Yakima, local therapist availability may be more limited than in larger Washington markets. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Washington. When narrowing your search, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before you book. Reading profiles can also help you compare communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns that matter to you.
Therapy in Yakima can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, accept your plan, and have availability for new clients. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated session costs upfront, browse therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
