Are you tired of overthinking everything? Are intense thoughts and emotions stopping you from living the life you desire? Do you feel stuck and unsure how to move forward? I provide individual and group counseling to pre-teens, adolescents, and adults. Each healing journey is unique and not always linear. I create a safe space for you to be accepted exactly where you are in your personal journey. My areas of specialized experience and interest include anxiety, social anxiety, “over-thinking”, perfectionism, bullying, parenting, post-partum adjustment, grief/loss, adjustment to disability/diagnosis, chronic illness/pain, trauma (PTSD, domestic violence, abuse, sexual assault), trauma related to identity (i.e., racism, ableism, homophobia, ageism). I am committed to social justice, and incorporate approaches that honor and value diverse identities. I am LGBTQ+ affirming. I use evidence-based strategies including Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MBCBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Somatic Experiencing, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Shame Resiliency. Perhaps most importantly, I empower you to tune in to your inner wisdom. Credentials: I am a Licensed Social Work Associate Independent Clinical (LSWAIC), WA credential #SC61085583, working under the Clinical Supervision of Dr. Stephen T. Wilson, PhD, MSW, LICSW (Credential Number LW00006074). Education: Masters of Social Work (MSW) from University of Washington I accept HSA accounts and offer a tiered system of payment. I do not panel with insurance. I offer superbills for out-of-network benefits. “If you put shame in a petri dish, it needs three ingredients to grow exponentially: secrecy, silence, and judgement. If you put the same amount of shame in the petri dish and douse it with empathy, it can’t survive.” -Brené Brown
