You may be doing everything you are “supposed” to do and still feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of what comes next. Your relationships may feel harder than they should. You may be questioning who you are, struggling to make decisions, or feeling stuck in patterns you understand intellectually but cannot seem to change.

 

I work with young adults and adults in their 20s, 30s, and early 40s who are navigating anxiety, depression, identity, relationships, career or school stress, and significant life transitions. Therapy offers a place to slow down, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and develop a stronger connection with yourself.

 

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that meaningful change begins with greater self-awareness. Together, we will explore the thoughts, emotions, patterns, and body cues shaping your experiences. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, mindfulness, and somatic awareness to help you better understand yourself, develop practical tools, and move toward goals that feel realistic and meaningful.

 

I also work with parents and caregivers who want to better understand and support their children while managing the stress and uncertainty that can come with parenting. I provide guidance to improve communication, strengthen family relationships, respond more effectively to emotional and behavioral challenges, and create routines and expectations that support the whole family.

 

I am a Clinical Social Work Associate in Washington State. I earned my Master of Social Work from San Francisco State University in 2008 and my Bachelor of Social Work from Pacific Union College. My professional background includes many years of supporting individuals, children, and families as a social worker, teacher, and therapist.

 

You do not need to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. We can start with where you are, make sense of what feels difficult, and work together toward greater clarity, confidence, balance, and connection.
