This is Jimmy— my faithful sidekick who is often present during online sessions, although he doesn’t tend to say much (he’s often napping).
I’ve been working in the mental health field since 2004, when I earned my Master of Arts in Counseling from The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology. Since then, I’ve continued to deepen my training—studying Energy Psychology at Bastyr University and learning how to work with the whole person: body, mind, spirit, and emotions.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State since 2008, I’ve supported individuals through many seasons of life—working in both community mental health and nonprofit settings across the Seattle area before starting my private practice in Port Townsend in 2017.
I work with adults (18+) navigating anxiety, life transitions, burnout, relationship stress, or simply a persistent feeling of being “stuck” despite trying to do all the right things.
What guides my work is the belief that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. Each person is unique—and therapy should be too. My approach is collaborative, integrative, and grounded in deep respect for your inner wisdom. Together, we’ll work at your pace to move through what’s been holding you back, so you can feel more at home in yourself and more free to live the life you want.
