I’m thrilled to announce I opened my psychotherapy private practice as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA) in October 2025. And now with the start of 2026, I’m growing my practice and taking new clients for weekday morning appointments online. Feel free to share my website as a therapist referral!
Since graduating in May with a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Antioch University, I’ve been learning a lot about how to set up a clinical practice (Who knew a license could take four months to process?!). And now I’m so excited to finally be able to offer my therapy services and live the dream job I’ve had for so many years.
I’m currently seeking clients who are:
- Adults ages 18 and above
- Individuals (I’m not currently taking new couples for couples counseling)
- Residents of Washington State
- Experiencing a life change, grief, social or relationship challenges, family or parenting challenges, anxiety, depression, anger, or just feeling like something’s not quite right and want some help
- Open to online therapy only
- Able to pay out of pocket (I’m not currently paneled with any health insurance companies) – Click here for more fee info
I specialize in using Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy to help clients heal emotional wounds from the past that are triggered by current stressors. The IFS framework is a trauma-informed therapy that helps clients identify and process different parts of themselves that hold old burdens so they can get unstuck in their present-day lives. I love using IFS as an approach because it uses the client’s inherent wisdom to guide the process, so it’s both empowering and incredibly transformative.
Check out this video of me doing IFS therapy with a sample client.
I first got to know IFS as a therapy client myself back in 2014, and since then I’ve seen it transform my life in ways I couldn’t have imagined possible. Then in 2022, I completed the IFS Level 1 training through the IFS Institute while in grad school. I was able to put those skills to use during my clinical internship, where I was supervised by a certified IFS therapist, Shellie Gravitt. By practicing this modality consistently through my year and a half of internship, I fine-tuned my ability to use IFS effectively for people going through all kinds of experiences, from relationship challenges to suicidal thinking to anger and anxiety.
Now, I’m chomping at the bit to do more of this work I love so much! If you have clients in need of a compassionate, down-to-earth therapist with skills that get results, send them my way! I’m ready to guide clients through the work of healing to find peace within themselves…and maybe laugh a little along the way.
And on that note, I want to share one more video with you by way of introducing myself as a newly-minted therapist. Because this is how excited I am!
