Embrace Your Path to Self-Trust
Now accepting new clients. In person sessions avilable in Olympia. Telehealth/online counseling is available for residents of Washington.
Finding a therapist that will work well for you is the first step towards discovering skills to improve your overall quality of life. Through a supportive, holistic approach I empower individuals with the ability to increase their capacity for JOY. I am compassionate, and straightforward, and encourage collaboration.
I adapt my treatment approach for each individual. I frequently use a somatic approach to Internal Family Systems, Lifespan Integration, EMDR, and expressive arts. I am guided by hope and unconditional positive regard.
I have significant experience with workplace issues, activism, and life transitions. I spent several years focusing on teens and young adults with acute challenges (self-harm, failure to launch, disordered eating, apathy, social issues). I am a mixed-race person and a single mother by choice.
