Who I Help

I am a licensed psychologist who serves families, parents, and individuals in the Puget Sound area, including Olympia, Tacoma, Seattle, Edmonds, and Bellingham. I take pride in my holistic, comprehensive evaluations and relational-based, transdiagnostic therapy. This means that I work to understand the whole individual across a variety of settings. When we work together, we will focus on your challenges and utilize evidence-based interventions to alleviate symptoms, regardless of diagnostic labels.

Families

I specialize in strengthening family connections and fostering positive household dynamics. Whether through comprehensive diagnostic evaluations or targeted therapy, I help families navigate challenges and reduce tension. My approach focuses on enhancing communication, supporting healthy interactions, and deepening family bonds. If your household is facing stressors and you're seeking more stability and control, I’m here to help. My goal is to help your family feel more connected, understood, and equipped to handle life's challenges together. I work collaboratively with you to create a more harmonious home environment where every family member can thrive."

Parents

You are a powerful agent of change for your child. I can help you feel more in control, confident in your decisions, and better equipped to nurture your child's growth and well-being, all while breaking free from unhelpful patterns from the past. You will develop crucial emotion regulation skills, expand your parenting toolkit, and better understand patterns of behavior. Common parenting challenges that I help parents with include noncompliance, tantrums, physical aggression, defiance, sleep issues, challenging mealtimes, toileting difficulties, and anxiety. Whether you're dealing with daily struggles or want to create lasting positive change in your family dynamics, I provide the tools and strategies you need. With my support, you can create a more harmonious family environment and strengthen your connection with your children.

Children

I provide support for children through comprehensive evaluations, developmentally appropriate therapy, and family-based interventions. My holistic evaluations help identify your child's unique strengths and challenges, providing a clear roadmap for support.

I also offer tailored therapy sessions designed to meet children’s developmental needs and foster growth. Recognizing the crucial role of family in a child's progress, I typically involve parents in the therapeutic process. This may include parents joining therapy sessions with their children or participating in separate parent consultations. My approach ensures that children receive direct support while also equipping parents with the tools to reinforce positive changes at home. Whether your child is struggling with emotional regulation, social skills, or specific behavioral challenges, my goal is to create a supportive environment where they can thrive and reach their full potential.

Teens and Young Adults

For teens and young adults, I offer specialized support to navigate the unique challenges of adolescence and early adulthood. My approach addresses common stressors such as academic pressures, social relationships, identity formation, and the development of crucial executive functioning skills. Through individualized therapy, I help young people build resilience, improve self-awareness, and develop effective coping strategies. My goal is to equip young people with the tools they need to manage stress, make informed decisions, and build a strong foundation for their future, all while fostering independence and self-confidence.
