I’m a licensed family therapist in Washington.

I help women make sense of the patterns that shape the way they manage responsibility, respond to pressure, and relate to themselves.

How I approach this work

I pay attention to how these patterns develop and stay in place over time, so we can understand what’s maintaining them, and what needs to shift.

Many of the struggles women bring to therapy aren’t just about current stress. They are often connected to long-standing ways of coping, relating, and managing expectations.

My focus is on helping these patterns become more visible so they can be understood differently rather than just managed or pushed through.

What therapy with me is like

Sessions are collaborative, reflective, and paced so you have room to notice what’s happening beneath the surface.

We’re not just problem-solving. We’re paying attention to what’s been shaping your experience over time, and how that shows up in your daily life, relationships, and expectations.

Parenting support

I also work with parents who want more connection and calm in their relationships with their children.

In this work, we look at both relational patterns and practical strategies, including how to respond in moments of stress, interrupt reactive cycles, and create more ease and connection at home.
