Do you know something in your life needs to change, but can’t understand why you keep ending up in the same place despite your best efforts? If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or disconnected; wondering why the same patterns keep showing up in your life, therapy can be a place to slow down, gain clarity, and gently begin making sense of what has been keeping you there. Together, we can zero-in on the patterns, beliefs, and experiences that may be shaping how you move through the world. Rather than simply managing symptoms, we'll work with intention to better understand what's underneath them, creating space for meaningful, lasting change.
Who I Love To Work With
Adults who are seeking to build a life that feels more aligned with their values instead of one driven by anxiety, fear, or the expectations of others.
Individuals healing from childhood experiences that continue to shape present-day relationships, self-worth, and the way they move through the world.
Clients who have spent years putting everyone else's needs before their own and are ready to reconnect with themselves without guilt.
Adults navigating major life transitions, identity shifts, or changing seasons of life while searching for clarity, stability, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Women carrying the invisible weight of relationships, caregiving, perfectionism, or the pressure to hold everything together for everyone else.
Individuals wanting to better understand themselves instead of simply managing symptoms, creating lasting change rather than temporary relief.
Clients who are curious about how their nervous system influences their daily life and want to better understand.
Common Reasons Adult Clients Reach Out For Support in Federal Way
Anxiety, chronic worry, and overthinking that make it difficult to feel present or at peace.
Depression, emotional numbness, and the loss of motivation or connection to the life you once enjoyed.
Trauma and the lasting impact of difficult life experiences on your relationships, self-worth, and sense of safety.
People-pleasing, boundary setting, codependency, and learning to prioritize your own needs without guilt.
Relationship challenges, attachment concerns, and recurring interpersonal patterns that leave you feeling stuck.
Grief and loss, including the many ways we experience change, endings, and healing.
Stress, burnout, and life transitions that leave you feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or disconnected from yourself.
Emotional regulation and developing healthier coping strategies that support long-term resilience rather than short-term survival.
Women's issues, identity development, and navigating the evolving roles and expectations that come with different seasons of life.

What It’s Like in a Session With Me (Adult Therapy)
My approach is to be deeply curious, thoughtful, and holistic in a way that helps clients connect the dots. Working together, we'll explore the patterns, beliefs, emotions, and experiences that have shaped you so you can begin making more intentional choices that move you toward the life you want to live. Together we'll identify meaningful therapy goals while making space to explore what's happening beneath the surface. Depending on what you need, we may focus on learning practical skills for managing difficult emotions, noticing the stories your mind tells you, understanding how past experiences continue to influence the present, or paying attention to how your nervous system responds to stress. My work is primarily informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), somatic approaches, and parts work, while always adapting therapy to fit your unique needs rather than expecting you to fit a particular model. I believe lasting change happens when insight is paired with self-compassion and practical action.

A Note From Me
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable. Some people reach out because life is falling apart, while others come in because they're tired of carrying the same burdens alone or repeating patterns they no longer want to. If that's where you are, you don't have to have the right words or know exactly what you need. We can begin right there.
While none of us can change the chapters we've already lived, we can become curious, grow in awareness, and choose actions that move us closer to what we value. My hope is to help you build a life you truly want to live.
