With counseling, find freedom from playing small, people pleasing, and the grief of feeling disconnected from yourself, others or your culture.

I work with Adults, Couples and Teens and accept Premera and Lifewise Insurance Plans.

A living room with a navy-blue sofa, a wooden coffee table, and a gray armchair. There are colorful pillows on the sofa and a woven basket next to the armchair. A window with sheer curtains allows natural light, and framed artwork decorates the light-colored walls. Indoor plants are placed around the room, and a standing lamp provides additional lighting.

People who are curious about exploring the protective patterns that once brought safety, but now make you feel trapped, lonely, depressed or irritated are a good fit for my practice. If you learned to question what makes you unique, we will discover how to reconnect you with your innate goodness and wisdom.

Schedule a free 30 min consultation. Sessions in-person and via Telehealth. You may also schedule an appointment to see me either online or in-person.

With over 20 years experience in the combined fields of counseling, teaching and craniosacral therapy, I've focused on helping a diverse group of people learn how to honor their self-worth amidst trauma arising from their childhood, or the impacts of systemic social inequality.
