As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), I provide compassionate counseling for individuals, couples, and families. I aim to help clients feel validated in their experiences, fostering an environment where discovering pathways to healing becomes possible. I invite clients to express their true selves, guiding them in identifying and understanding the patterns that shape their lives. I am dedicated to establishing a welcoming and therapeutic space for individuals of all backgrounds and beliefs who are motivated to embark on their growth journey.

I understand that the journey toward feeling fully alive is deeply personal and can vary greatly among individuals. My approach emphasizes the importance of flexibility in therapeutic methods, allowing me to adapt to each client’s unique needs. Whether through individual sessions, couples counseling, or innovative treatments like Ketamine Assisted Therapy, I strive to create a safe space where healing can occur.

I believe in the importance of allowing yourself the time to process grief after experiencing painful events. I am here to support your journey and to provide a safe space where you can fully express yourself and explore your emotions. Together, we will navigate the complexities of your grief, nurturing healing and strength as you move forward.

Being a woman of heart, I collaborate with nature to inspire and nurture the highest potential and gifts within each of us. Through experiences such as yoga, walking or meditation, we create spaces that foster wellness and connection. I am committed to accepting and supporting gender-expansive individuals and their loved ones, honoring each unique journey toward healing and growth.

I hold an M.Ed. in Counseling from the University of Puget Sound. I have worked extensively with individuals and couples in private practice and community health. I have assisted clients in coping with depression, anxiety, trauma, and grief. I have also provided clinical counseling to college students who are in the midst of exploring their identity and purpose, as well as students K-12 who are learning how to cope with many pressures and expectations. I have 30 years of professional experience connecting people to resources and facilitating communication between diverse voices and experiences. I am a trained mediator in conflict resolution and restorative justice.

Statement on inclusion:  I use she/her pronouns. I strive to cultivate an inclusive practice that recognizes principles of fairness, equity, and social justice in relation to, and across, intersections of race, age, color, disability, religion faith, ancestry, national origin, citizenship, sex, sexual orientation, social class, economic class, ethnicity, gender identity, gender expression, and all other identities represented in our community. This enables me to foster a culture of belonging, collaborative practice, and mutual respect.
