I am licensed in Washington State with 5 years of professional work experience and work with youth and adults who may be experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, and behaviors, that have produced stress, intolerable emotions, shame, and hurt that disrupt everyday life. Practices focus on a person centered and bio-psycho-social approach to restore the mind, body, and spirit. I believe in providing a nonjudgmental, collaborative, empathic, curious, and compassionate environment to foster a safe space where individuals can feel heard and understood, so they can begin to manage and reduce conflict and find meaning in their life. Together we can explore experiences, build new skills, new habits and resilience, allowing us to problem solve and begin to construct new areas of growth.
I utilize evidence based practices drawn from CBT+, EMDR, DBT, MI, Solution Focus, and include mindfulness, grounding techniques, parenting, and nutrition to help individuals manage chaos that has stressed daily life. It can be difficult to know where to start, so let’s start the journey here together.
Additional areas of focus: Caregiver issues and stress, Guilt and shame, Mood disorders, Post-traumatic stress, Self-love, Social anxiety and phobia, Young adult issues
Clinical approaches: Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Focused Therapy
