I’ve been working in the mental health field since 2004, after completing my Master of Arts in Counseling at The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology. Over the years, I’ve continued to deepen my training—including Energy Psychology at Bastyr University, and my work has always centered on seeing the whole person: body, mind, emotions, and the deeper parts of self that carry wisdom, protection, and meaning.

I’ve been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State since 2008, supporting adults through many different seasons of life. Before opening my private practice in Port Townsend in 2017, I spent years in community mental health and nonprofit settings across the Seattle area, working with people experiencing profound stress, transition, relationship challenges, and longstanding patterns that were no longer serving them.

My style is straightforward, compassionate, and deeply curious. Clients often tell me they feel genuinely seen—and that I help them understand themselves in ways they hadn’t considered before. I pay close attention to what’s said and unsaid, the emotions that surface, and the patterns that show up across different areas of life. I’m comfortable going deep, slowing things down, and sitting with what’s painful, while also offering practical tools for managing stress, navigating thoughts, building boundaries, and strengthening self-trust.

I work well with clients who are insightful, motivated for personal growth, and ready to explore what’s happening beneath the surface. Whether we’re working with parts of the self, attachment dynamics, the nervous system, or the beliefs that shape your inner world, I approach therapy as a collaborative relationship. You bring your lived experience and the wisdom already within you; I bring a grounding, skilled presence to help you access that inner guidance, challenge what needs challenging, and reconnect with what feels most true.

Above all, I believe that being in pain doesn’t mean you’re broken. Therapy can help you live in a way that’s more aligned—where your insides and outsides match, and where you feel more at home in yourself.
