We are all at different points on the journey to knowing ourselves better. My aim is to join you in discovering your unique purpose and true self.
At the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship itself. Research consistently shows that the quality of the relationship between therapist and client is one of the strongest predictors of positive outcomes — more than any particular technique or modality.
I bring warmth, genuine curiosity, and deep respect to each session. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Instead, I listen closely to who you are, what you’re carrying, and what you’re reaching toward — and I draw from a range of evidence-based methods to support you in the way that fits best.
Much of what causes suffering in our lives has roots we may not fully see — relational patterns formed in early life, unconscious beliefs about ourselves and others, ways of coping that once protected us but now hold us back. Together we explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion, not judgment.
Awareness is the beginning of change. I help you develop a clearer, more honest relationship with your own inner world — your emotions, your needs, your values. This kind of self-knowledge becomes a foundation for making choices that feel aligned with who you really are.
My goal isn’t to fix you — you aren’t broken. It’s to help you integrate the parts of yourself that have been hidden, suppressed, or in conflict, so you can live with greater freedom, authenticity, and ease. Growth often means becoming more fully yourself.
Insight without tools can feel frustrating. I also focus on the practical: skills from mindfulness, DBT, and CBT that help you navigate difficult emotions, communicate more effectively, and tolerate life’s inevitable uncertainties with greater steadiness.
Sessions are 50 minutes and typically weekly, especially early on. I believe in meeting you where you are — some weeks we may go deep into the past, others we focus on what’s right in front of you. The work is collaborative, and you are always in the driver’s seat.
I work with individuals navigating a wide range of challenges: life transitions, relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, identity questions, and the search for greater meaning and purpose. You don’t need to have a crisis or diagnosis to benefit from therapy — many people come simply because they want to understand themselves more deeply and live more fully.
I offer both in-person sessions in Bothell, WA and telehealth sessions for clients who prefer to meet remotely, including those based internationally.
I offer a complimentary 30-minute phone consultation so we can connect and see if working together feels like the right fit.
