Individual Therapy

Sometimes you know exactly what brings you to therapy. Other times, you just know that something isn’t working anymore.

You may be struggling with anxiety or depression, navigating a difficult relationship or life transition, questioning beliefs or expectations you’ve carried for years, or realizing that patterns from your family or past are still affecting you today. You don’t need to arrive with a perfectly defined problem or goal.

In individual therapy, we’ll work together to understand what’s happening beneath the surface and identify what you want to be different. I draw from several approaches—including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and family systems perspectives—depending on your needs and what resonates with you. That might mean learning concrete skills for managing overwhelming emotions, exploring the stories and beliefs that shape how you see yourself, or looking at how relationships and family experiences have influenced the patterns you find yourself in today.

Therapy doesn’t have to be mysterious. I want our work to feel useful, collaborative, and relevant to your actual life.

Couples Therapy

Relationships can get stuck in painful patterns that neither partner intended to create. The same arguments happen again and again, communication breaks down, or you may find yourselves feeling more like opponents than partners. Often, both people are trying to protect themselves or the relationship—they’ve just become caught in a cycle that makes it increasingly difficult to reach each other.

My work with couples is grounded primarily in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a well-established, research-supported approach to couples therapy. Rather than simply teaching you to argue more effectively, EFT helps us understand the emotional patterns underneath your conflicts and the needs, fears, and vulnerabilities that can be difficult to communicate.

Together, we’ll identify the cycle that keeps pulling you apart and work toward creating greater emotional safety, connection, and responsiveness between you. My goal isn’t to decide who’s right or wrong. It’s to help you understand what’s happening between you so that you can begin responding to each other differently.

About Me

I’m a licensed clinical therapy associate with a Master of Social Work (MSW) from California State University, Chico, and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Simpson University. I have more than a decade of professional experience working with youth, parents, adults, and families in both individual and group settings.

Across all of that work, one thing has remained especially important to me: people need to feel seen, truly heard, and valued. Therapy asks you to share parts of yourself that you may not share anywhere else, and I don’t take that trust lightly.

I hope you leave our sessions feeling a little lighter—not because we’ve magically solved everything in 50 minutes, but because you don’t have to carry it alone and we have a clearer understanding of where to go from here.

Born in Oregon, raised in California, and now a proud resident of Vancouver, Washington, I’m a lifelong West Coast girl. Outside of work, I’m an avid fantasy, romance, and sci-fi reader. I’m equally capable of losing an embarrassing number of hours to Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing, and I love watercolor painting and making art of all kinds. Most of all, I love spending time with my husband and our two kids, who are 8 and 12 and definitely cannot be called babies anymore. Whenever we get the chance, you’ll often find us escaping to Disneyland.
