Telehealth (Online) Services
​
I am choosing to provide services exclusively via telehealth, both for safety reasons and to continue reaching clients in underserved areas. At this time I can only provide telehealth services for Washington State residents who are currently in the state.
​
Note: This is not an exhaustive list of services, just some specialties that I have chosen to highlight.

I am a therapist with ADHD, so I love working with clients who have ADHD. I think our similar brains strengthen our understanding of each other and therefore our therapeutic connection. Everyone with ADHD is different and deserves personalized exploration of their needs and barriers to help manage symptoms and achieve their goals of functioning in the way they desire.

Anxiety shows up in many different forms and for many different reasons. Despite how challenging anxiety feels, it is actually there to help you by protecting you from danger. Even if those dangers aren't always real, the symptoms associated very much are. With some guidance and perspective, you can learn how to keep anxiety, stress, worry, and even panic in check, and begin to experience relief.

I have extensive experience working with the LGBTQIA+ community, including individuals, couples, and youth. Now more than ever, I take pride in meeting the unique needs of this group, and I also enjoy helping people explore their sexuality, gender, and identity, regardless of how they identify. I warmly welcome and accept all sexual orientations, gender identities, and couple constellations.

Communication is often seen as the gold standard for resolving relationship distress. Often times, the real culprit of frequent conflict is a lack of emotional regulation in one or more partners. Attachment theory states that how you were raised influences your romantic style as an adult, and each style has different triggers that may be activated by your partner or partners. By becoming adept at regulating yourself, either in couple or individual therapy, you can begin to see more security, affection, ease, and clarity in your relationship.

Many people think that depression is just about feeling sad, but in reality, it can also feel like numbness, guilt, laziness, isolation, irritability, anger, or something else. Grief, due to a death, breakup, divorce, or other change is also commonly misunderstood. Both emotions are intense and not well understood by people who have not experienced them, likely leaving the grieving or depressed person feeling incredibly alone. Understanding and acceptance are crucial to moving through depression and grief in a productive way.

I enjoy working with youth ages 15 and up! The world has changed so much in recent years, especially for young people. And this is all on top of the normal challenges of being a kid! These stressors can lead to anxiety, depression, family conflict, acting-out behaviors, and much more. Therapy can be a powerful tool for helping your child feel like someone is on their side and understands what they are going through.
