TRADE PERFECTION FOR GROWTH

In-person and Tele-health therapy for WA State

Welcome

I’m so glad you’re here. I offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy for adults navigating perfectionism, anxiety, complex trauma, codependency and grief. Whether you’re feeling stuck in self-doubt, overwhelmed by life’s demands, or carrying the weight of past wounds, this is a space where your experiences are honored and your healing matters.

Together, we’ll work to untangle old patterns, build self-trust, and move toward a life rooted in clarity and resilience. You don’t have to do it all alone - and you don’t have to do it perfectly. I look forward to hearing from you and hope you’ll reach out.
