Individual therapy

I believe that effective therapy requires a strong, nonjudgmental relationship focused on recognizing strengths, building insights, and practicing skills. I also believe that therapy should be time-limited and goal-oriented. This means that we will collaboratively work together to identify your goals and help you meet them. Individual therapy with me typically lasts 8 to 24 sessions.

I offer individual therapy for teens and adults related to a variety of needs, including:

•Stress reduction
•Building a value-based life
•Coping with loss/grief
•Depression
•Anxiety
•LGBQ+ identity
•Gender identity
•Trauma and posttraumatic stress
•Sleep improvement
•Life stages, significant life transitions

Relationship therapy

Romantic partnerships can have substantial impacts on our well-being and day-to-day living. In relationship therapy, I work to simultaneously build empathy and promote self-guided change within the relationship. This work involves a combination of one-on-one and group sessions with me and all members of the romantic relationship.

Evidence-Based Treatments

I provide a variety of evidence-based treatments for both individual and relationship work, including:

•Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
•Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy
•Prolonged Exposure Therapy for PTSD
•Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD
•Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
•Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Skills
•Mindfulness Meditation

ASsessment and Evaluation

I provide assessment and evaluations for non-forensic settings. These assessments include diagnostic assessment, personality testing, intellectual testing, and gender confirmation surgery evaluations.

I prioritize being available for gender confirmation surgery evaluations and advocate for making the evaluation process less invasive and more affordable. Currently, I can only accept clients who are age 18 and up for gender confirmation surgery evaluations.

Telepsychology

I am very passionate about increasing access to high quality mental health care for all individuals, regardless of distance or mobility issues. I completed a postdoctoral fellowship in the delivery Telemental Health and Rural Outreach at the Seattle VA. Currently, I am able to see individuals for both psychotherapy and assessment/evaluations via clinical video technology within Washington State.
