About Me

I approach therapy as a practical and collaborative process. Together, we explore how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected—and how those patterns may be helping or hindering you. My role is to guide you in building insight, flexibility, and resilience, while equipping you with tools to navigate challenges more effectively. Sessions often include a balance of direct feedback, emotional validation, boundary work, and realistic goal setting—plus a sense of humor to keep things grounded. I specialize in working with first responders, with a deep understanding of the unique challenges and culture within this community. My approach is collaborative and intentional—focused on creating meaningful, individualized interventions that support both growth and resilience. Therapy is an active process, and progress comes from our shared commitment to the work. Your role is to engage fully in the process of change; mine is to guide, challenge, and support you along the way. Together, we’ll build a path toward lasting improvement and a stronger sense of well-being. I am located in Tumwater, WA. I offer in person and telehealth appointments. I exclusively work with first responders and utilize EMDR and CBT therapy modalities. Learn more about me: www.tumwatertherapy.com
