Therapists in Washington
I see psychotherapy as a way to more fully empower and express one’s self in the world, whether as a child, teen, or adult, and, in the process, heal the various “symptoms” that stand in the way. It’s my belief and experience that that sense of self is, by nature, strong, clear, and caring, and yet can become problematic, in feelings and behavior, through the difficult experiences that life can bring. I see my role as helping to bring forth the experience of this successful and caring self, and, specifically to assist the client to heal the problematic traumas, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors, that interfere with this.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages who are experiencing social, emotional, and/or relational difficulties and who are seeking change. I count it a privilege to come alongside you as you move into a place of greater hope, health, and flourishing.

Is it hard for you to slow down and relax? Do you constantly feel pressured to try harder or be perfect? Does your brain constantly replay the most difficult moments of your life? The endless pressure to find our "purpose" and be "good enough" can lead to feelings of worry/ anxiety, anger, sadness, avoidance and isolation. These feelings can be overwhelming and leave us feeling disconnected from the people and activities that matter to us the most. My goal is to support you slowing down, reconnecting with what's important and finding moments of relief.

When did life become a monotonous routine, leaving you emotionally drained and feeling unfulfilled? You long for deeper connections and meaningful relationships, but that’s overshadowed by disappointment or isolation. You’re repeating the same patterns, preventing yourself from experiencing what you deserve. As a parent, you feel like you’re always falling short. Making the smallest decision leaves you overwhelmed and second guessing yourself. Relationships can bring immense joy, but also have the ability to become so draining. They can cause an overwhelming amount of stress and make you question your own self-worth and judgment.

I have been in the mental health field since 2014 and have worked with various ages and demographics. With a background that includes being a military child, collegiate athlete, and now a parent myself, I have found that I enjoy working with people who are finding themselves in a time of change. At this time, I am seeing clients 14 and older who need extra support in finding coping skills, navigating symptoms of depression or anxiety, communication skills, relationship challenges, and boundary work among other goals. At this time, I will also be taking a break from couples therapy and will update once accepting new clients.

Do you feel like you are carrying around an invisible weight that no one else around you can see? You've worked hard in life (maybe too hard), found a good job, relationships, or maybe some hobbies, yet you never really quite feel at home? Maybe there are feelings of sadness or anxiety that show up when you least expect them, and leave you feeling overwhelmed. Or, maybe, despite having people close by, you sometimes feel like there is an invisible barrier that prevents you from really feeling close. As a therapist I am passionate about helping people to make space for the things we don't always let other people see.

As a woman with ADHD, do you feel that your ADHD is impacting your relationships, self-esteem, goals and/or work? Do you find yourself saying sentences like, ‘I should…, ‘Why can’t I just...’, or ‘If I wasn’t so lazy…’? What if you could find strategies that could help you manage the things that feel like they always are falling through the cracks? Women with ADHD often experience ADHD differently than the stereotypical symptoms. What if you could find validation and understanding of your experience? Whether you have been diagnosed with ADHD for years or just starting your journey, your ADHD doesn't have to feel like a burden.

You want to appear confident and like you have it all together, but deep down, you struggle to get it all done and stay connected to the present moment. You may be fed up with the constant battle of proving yourself, feeling anxious you are missing something, or preoccupied with pleasing others. You might not even remember a time things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to feel connected and enjoy the NOW. You’re ready to smile and laugh again. Most of all, you’re ready to take charge of your life and no longer be controlled by anxiety and grief.

While open to working with all individuals ages 12 and older, I particularly enjoy working with adolescents and young adults; seeing how self-exploration and skill-building in such formative years can improve relationships, school performance, self-efficacy and overall mental health is truly amazing to see.
