Through 25+ years of experience, I have discovered a particular passion for supporting clients in healing from abuse and other traumas; working through the impact of challenging or complex relationships (including those impacted by narcissistic dynamics); navigating family-of-origin and attachment issues; liberating from anxiety, phobias, panic, or OCD; repairing or healing from relational issues; developing effective boundaries; transforming self-esteem, growing to find joy, purpose, and fulfillment; and/or moving in the direction of a values-driven life. I offer a compassionate understanding of who you are, how you show up in your surroundings, and how you experience people, events, and the world around you. I am nurturing while also able to challenge long-held beliefs and patterns that may be keeping you stuck or holding you back form the life you want to life. Building on a strengths-based approach, I help clients identify and more fully develop the resilience and skills within them. From that foundation, I utilize various evidence-based therapy modalities to help clients heal, find wellness, and flourish. If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out for a complimentary consultation to see if we might be a good fit. I wish you well on your journey! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WA LICSW license number: LW00007980 NPI Number: 1497807564 *** In the case of INCLEMENT WEATHER, I tend to follow Tacoma Public Schools (TPS) recommendations. I will send telehealth links if inclement weather is approaching. If you prefer a video appointment (regardless of TPS recommendation), please let me know to ensure I have one set up for you. It is very easy to arrange last minute if you have any concerns about road safety, so please do not hesitate to request a video appointment at any time. Feel free to reach out via the client portal, phone, or email if you have any questions. ***
