About Me

Do you want to build confidence, renew self-esteem, and develop practical skills to heal from the pain of traumatic and adverse life experiences? Using a person-centered approach and evidence-based modalities, I guide clients to focus on and achieve their personal goals, find relief, and heal from anxiety, depression, trauma, and negative core beliefs. My fifteen years of experience supporting people who are challenged by health issues, family issues, and grief and loss have given me a wealth of diverse knowledge. I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy and interweave Internal Family Systems (IFS), as needed, to heal trauma and other conditions that may stem from difficult life experiences. I am certified in sex therapy, polyvagally theory, and mindfulness. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to explore thoughts, behaviors, and feelings, and somatic techniques for stress management. I embrace diversity, respect, honesty, kindness, and humor. I strive to empower you to share your story and take control of whatever is holding you back from the life you want to live if you are ready to rediscover your sense of self and heal. Blue Cross (Premera & Regence) preferred provider, Kaiser of WA, and traditional Medicare Part B accepted. I offer telehealth for WA residents and in-person appointments in Ferndale, WA. Free 15-minute consults available.
