Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate

I am a trauma-informed counselor, providing compassionate therapy services to teens, adults, older adults, and caregivers at our Tacoma, WA clinic. I support individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, recovery, and life transitions. These diverse clinical experiences have strengthened my commitment to providing supportive, trauma-informed counseling across the lifespan. Many clients seek therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about the next steps in their lives—and are looking for a supportive, nonjudgmental space to heal and grow.

My approach to therapy is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and empowerment. I believe healing begins when people feel truly seen and understood. As a trauma-informed therapist, I prioritize emotional safety while helping clients gain clarity, build self-trust, and make choices aligned with their values.

Clients often come to therapy with goals such as:

• Restoring emotional balance and stability
• Rebuilding relational trust and self-confidence
• Developing practical coping skills for everyday stress
• Healing from past trauma while strengthening resilience for the future

I offer therapy that honors your story—not just your symptoms—while supporting meaningful, lasting change.

I utilize a range of evidence-based therapy approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and integrative talk therapy. Treatment is individualized and flexible, allowing sessions to meet your unique needs, pace, and goals.

If you are seeking a compassionate therapist in Tacoma who values empowerment, resilience, and whole-person healing, I would be honored to support you.
