College can be disruptive and difficult. I am here to support you as you navigate the challenges and opportunities that arise in this season of life. I want to help you live your most meaningful life. I will work with you to deeply explore who you are, what you truly want, and what past beliefs or experiences may be holding you back from your growth. Together, we will uncover the ways in which you may have abandoned parts of yourself over time. Using masks or personas as a means of survival can damage you on a core level, reinforcing the false belief that you are not enough as you are. But the truth is: you are enough. Let’s examine the events, people, and circumstances that have wounded your sense of self, so you can reconnect with the authentic person you are. Therapy is a hero's journey that requires vulnerability, but the honesty you will find is profoundly liberating. If you are ready to begin this transformative work, I would be honored to meet with you for a free consultation to see if we’re a good match. If you have questions or want to learn more, please visit my website at www.theworkshoptherapy.com, or feel free to reach out via phone at (206)920-7168 or email.

“I’m tired of being misunderstood by others.” “I have a hard time facing negative emotions.” “I feel stuck and unsure of my next steps.” “I feel like no one relates to me.” “I wish I was better at communicating my feelings.” If you resonate with any of these statements, I'm here to help. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore who you are, deepen self-understanding, and develop practical tools to navigate life’s challenges. My passion includes working with individuals to address anxiety, depression, trauma, relational issues, and self-esteem. I value creativity, authenticity, compassion, and humor—and I strive to bring those qualities into every session. Starting therapy can be intimidating, and I’m here to make you feel seen and supported in a safe, warm environment where you can show up as your authentic self. If you'd like to start your therapeutic journey with me, please reach out to me via phone or email so we can discuss how to best move forward.

Hi! I understand that asking for help is difficult. Sometimes we need someone who truly wants to listen and be there for us. I believe that having someone in your corner to both validate and challenge you is essential to personal growth. I will help guide you through this process of self-discovery - piecing together the mosaic of your life in a way that can serve as a window to your past and a guide to your future. Maybe you feel like you're not in the driver's seat of your life anymore. Or you feel like you don't really know who you are. Or maybe it's difficult to know what it is you truly want, and how to get there. Wherever you may be, we can take the first few steps into the therapeutic experience. The therapeutic process is challenging, but with every challenge comes the opportunity of empowerment, increased confidence, and self-discovery. Let me help you decide which path you would like to take next.

You might be dealing with anxiety, depression, or the lingering effects of trauma, and it’s hard to know where to begin. If you’ve been carrying emotional or physical pain for a long time, it can feel isolating - but you don’t have to figure it out alone.

By honoring the mind-body connection, we’ll look at the whole picture—your body, history, relationships, culture, and environment. Clients who work with me often say they feel genuinely seen, not judged, and met with compassion. They begin to develop a deeper understanding of themselves, find relief from emotional and physical pain, and reconnect with their inner strength and wisdom.

I am a psychotherapist specializing in overcoming the consequences of trauma for adults of all ages. As a well-rounded clinician with more than 12 years of experience, I help insightful adults overcome the lingering effects of trauma that keep them from optimal living. I specialize in helping people overcome barriers to optimal growth. My approach is collaborative, conversational and compassionate. I'm passionate about helping people access known or newly discovered capacities for meaningful living. Working together, you can expect a relaxed and judgement free environment. I use meaningful conversations, with a mixture of humor and insight, to help clients realize their unique potential for growth. My style is interactional, and I work to honor each person's emotional and spiritual journey. My path to becoming a therapist began at a young age with the realization that complete strangers quickly felt comfortable sharing their deep concerns, regrets, fears, etc. and walked away with a sense of hope and relief. They felt seen and appreciated. These experiences convinced me that a person-centered approach, with the intent of mutual discernment of the path forward, is often the most effective therapy.

Trauma, anxiety, grief, and the weight of difficult life experiences deserve compassionate and dedicated support. As a Licensed Professional Counselor for individuals ages 13-65, I specialize in trauma-focused care that helps you find genuine healing, greater self-understanding, and healthier patterns in your relationships and everyday life. EMDR and Brainspotting are at the heart of my work, two powerful approaches that help reduce emotional distress and move you forward in ways that feel meaningful and lasting. From the first session, you can expect a space that is safe, nonjudgmental, and built around you. Building your insight, resilience, and healthy coping tools is what drives our time together, and supporting you through real, lasting change is what I'm here for. Compassionate, grounded, and collaborative — that's how I approach every session with you. Healing happens when you feel safe enough to explore your experiences while developing new patterns that support growth and self-understanding, and creating that space is what I'm here to do. Using evidence-based treatments, including Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Brainspotting, and Mindfulness, we'll work together to process difficult experiences, build healthier coping skills, and create meaningful change. Because no two people are alike, the direction of our work is always shaped by your unique needs, goals, and life experiences. My path to becoming a therapist began in healthcare, where I spent years supporting patients and striving to bring compassion to people who were struggling. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 was a turning point. I witnessed firsthand the emotional toll that stress, grief, burnout, and uncertainty placed on so many people, particularly those working in healthcare alongside me. That experience clarified what I was called to do. I returned to school, pursued licensure as a professional counselor, and deepened my commitment to the kind of trauma-informed, compassionate care that helps people feel truly supported and never alone in what they're facing. Now, I am proud to bring empathy, authenticity, and genuine investment to every session. Outside of the therapy room, I find grounding in the simple things: reading, writing fiction, spending time with family, and being outdoors. These moments of connection and creativity remind me of what matters most, and they inform the presence and care I bring to my work with patients.

Do you feel consumed by thoughts about food, exercise, or your body? Do you control your weight as a way to control your life? Does the thought of your body changing bring about intense feelings of guilt, shame, or fear? Are your standards so high for yourself that it is a challenge to get even the smallest task done?

Working together, you can expect a warm and nurturing environment that combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and psychodynamic therapy to help you manage current mental health symptoms and work to strengthen your relationship with "self" and others. My style is holistic, and I tailor my approach to each person's unique situation. My time as a caseworker led me to becoming a therapist. As a caseworker, I supported young parents in obtaining their high school and college degrees, an experience that strengthened my commitment to providing empathetic care and highlighted the power of the therapist-client relationship in connecting and supporting a diverse range of individuals.

I focus on working with clients to recognize your inherent worthiness at work and within relationships, build trust in your inner wisdom, and integrate mindfulness and spirituality into your daily life. Whether you are coming out of a painful breakup, redefining your career path, navigating how to ask for what you need in partnership, or creating a kinder relationship with yourself, our work together can help you build self-confidence, self-awareness, and stress management techniques. My ideal client is someone who wants to embody their creative side, is curious about spirituality, and longs to step into their greatness. I specialize in mindfulness as a tool to build a more loving relationship with yourself. I bring an integrated head (concrete exercises you can practice between sessions) and heart (deeper understanding of self and how to relate differently with your thoughts and feelings) approach. If you’ve been thinking, “I want to trust myself. I want to trust my intuition/inner knowing. I want to love myself wholeheartedly - on the days I feel powerful and the days I feel small. I want to embody the badass human I was born to be.”- This work is for you.

I am a believer that we are all interconnected. Our relationships matter most to our wellbeing. And while we are living in a time where we are easily able to connect with one another, we have also never been so isolated and alone. The messages we receive from our greater systems often are at odds with what I know contribute to our wellbeing. Because of that we can often feel stuck, less than, or constantly hustling for “that thing.” We can end up chasing the wrong thing and find ourselves perpetually behind or inadequate. Our culture often places so much emphasis on outcomes, appearance, and external or material things. I sincerely believe that they are often at the root of our unhappiness. We often are doing the thing we think will help us but it ultimately harms us! We are doing it wrong. Together we will explore the often painful and uncomfortable spaces within and work from an Inside-Out approach. In doing so, we find that the storms tend to be more universal, we see our common humanity, we develop more self compassion and compassion and empathy for others. When we are our authentic selves, we become more free and our sessions will include plenty of laughing even as we dive into the parts that feel hard. We were never meant to do this life alone. And yet – so many of us are often sold on false narratives that “it’s just you” or have been invalidated, shamed, or traumatized by oppressive systems on the larger scale or within our own homes. My pride in the work is to help you become your best self, the one who is not merely living, but the one who is truly alive. Feeling it all, skin in the game, open to heartbreak, receptive to joy. Facing our pain is not easy (I know this well!). But I know deeply that when we do the right kind of hard, our efforts are fruitful beyond measure. Let’s face this together.
