Oftentimes, we might not realize the maladaptive patterns we have developed throughout our life to manage the pressures we feel—be it from the day-to-day grind, the strain of a relationship, or the uncertainty of what tomorrow holds. This is where therapy can support our journey toward healing and wholeness. Healing begins in relationship—with oneself or with others—and the therapeutic relationship is a beautiful medium for fostering that healing.

Connection with others is central to our well-being.  Understanding why we might engage with ourselves and with others the way we do, and why we face some of the tensions or conflicts we do is essential in our work together, in order to nurture, strengthen, or heal relationally.

In our work together, I use a holistic perspective to gain understanding about your story, the relationships that formed you, and the unique experiences that make you who you are.  We can better understand and connect with others when we fully and graciously understand ourselves.  Whether you are an individual, a couple, or a family seeking to improve your well-being, I want to help you realize that change you are seeking.

Clinical Orientation

I employ a blend of concepts grounded in systems, person-centered, and cognitive-behavioral theories. The combination of these approaches emphasizes who we are in the context of our relationships (external) while also considering the unhelpful thoughts or behaviors we have as individuals (internal). All of this takes place in a supportive environment with the goal of empowering you to realize the healing or change you desire. I believe utilizing a holistic approach allows us to address both interpersonal dynamics and individual thought and behavior patterns, thereby promoting deeper and more sustainable change.

My areas of focus include but are not limited to: individual youth and adults; couples or marital; and family systems.

Personal

Family and friends are the most important aspect of my life. In my free time, I love long walks outside – rain or shine – with my husband and soon-to-be twins. I also find energy connecting with my family and friends, spending time in the gym, or having a good laugh watching something like The Office, Psych, or Parks and Rec. From gloomy fall days to golden summer nights, I have a deep fondness for the beautiful place in which we live. I was born and raised between Buckley and Sumner, WA, and at this point in my life, I can’t imagine living anywhere else. I love to eat Greek yogurt with some homemade granola for breakfast every day and I think that ice cream is the superlative choice for dessert, though a good brownie can be a close second!
