My Ideal Client

I aim to empower individuals to navigate the complexities of their lives and discover the transformative potential within their struggles. Through intentional self-reflection, addressing past wounds, and the cultivation of new coping mechanisms and sources of empowerment, we can reorient our life’s purpose and journey toward a place of inner peace. My role is to support you in your unique challenges to assist you in developing a foundation to foster a life rich with meaning and purpose.

My Background and Approach

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. I bring extensive experience addressing a diverse array of clinical concerns and specialize in providing support for individuals facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, complex traumas, and navigating stressful life events or transitions. Grounded in the principles of Trauma-Informed Care, I integrate evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Approaches. In my practice, I hold a fundamental belief in the uniqueness of each individual and their challenges. As such, I prioritize collaboration, working closely with clients to tailor therapeutic strategies that specifically meet their distinctive needs.

Initiating therapy can feel overwhelming, but I'm here to support in the process. Feel free to reach out with any questions to see if we might be a good fit. I aim to respond promptly to phone calls and emails. Please contact me via email or phone to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. I look forward to connecting!
