About
Having experienced personal trauma and life's challenges, I am passionate about creating a safe and compassionate space where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to heal.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 4 years of experience in mental health care. I specialize in supporting individuals facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions. I combine evidence-based medication management with supportive therapy to promote healing and long-term well-being. I am dedicated to creating a compassionate, client-centered environment where individuals feel heard, understood, and empowered in their journey toward mental health.
I earned my Master’s in Nursing from Walden University, where I developed a strong commitment to evidence-based care and holistic treatment. My approach blends medication management with supportive therapy to address each client’s unique needs, build coping strategies, and foster resilience and stability.
Taking the first step toward mental health care can feel overwhelming, but it is also an important act of strength. My goal is to provide thoughtful, personalized support that empowers you to move forward with confidence. If you’re ready to begin your path toward greater stability and well-being, I encourage you to schedule an appointment.

I was inspired by my own challenges navigating high functioning depression. I was still performing, still excelling in my career, but lost my sense of joy and identity. Nothing seemed to interest me. I know how difficult it is to carry painful experiences, and to navigate my own healing. Your story matters, but it doesn’t define you. We are layered, diverse, complex individuals. You deserve the opportunity to process, learn, and gradually heal your mind and body. Healing is not linear, and is oftentimes buried in the pain.
Therapy is a collaborative space where we can begin to unpack big feelings, navigate difficult emotions, and work through life's challenging experiences. If you're feeling stuck, numb, overwhelmed, or weighed down by pain, you're not alone. I am a licensed clinical social worker with a master's degree from the University of Michigan and over 12 years of experience. I take a holistic approach to supporting individuals through life transitions, grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, and emotional distress. I believe deeply that your voice matters—and that you matter.
In our first session, my focus is on getting to know you and creating space for you to share your story. I'm intentional about fostering warmth, support, accountability, and partnership. My approach is integrative and evidence-based, incorporating CBT, DBT, solution-focused techniques, and somatic interventions.
Our work together will be collaborative and tailored to your evolving needs—because growth is not linear, and it's okay for plans to change as you do. Your story matters. I'm here to listen, support, and gently challenge you along the way.

Focusing on your own health and well-being, often called self-care, is essential for a happier, more resilient, and fulfilling life. It's not selfish; by taking care of yourself, you are better equipped to care for others and manage life's challenges.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 6 years of experience supporting adults facing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, and other mood and thought-related challenges. I provide a warm, grounded space for clients who want to better understand themselves, build emotional balance, and create sustainable change. My goal is to meet each person with clarity, compassion, and evidence-based care.
I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice from Walden University. My approach blends clinical expertise with a whole-person lens, using evidence-based treatments tailored to individual needs. I work collaboratively with clients to explore symptoms, strengthen insight, and develop practical strategies that support long-term stability and well-being.
I am here to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered as you navigate what comes next. Together, we will identify your goals and create a plan that meets you where you are. You do not have to face your challenges alone. I would be honored to partner with you in building the healthier, more grounded life you deserve.

I have a firm belief that none of us are perfect and as such we should continually strive to learn from our experiences and be better today than we were yesterday.
I have been in the helping profession for over 25 years and have worked in many different roles during that time. I have worked with children to older adults and all ages in between. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), and have worked with those with anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, as well as Bipolar disorder. I prefer to use a client centered approach, in which we would work collaboratively to determine the best course to take in addressing your needs and concerns and helping to decrease problem symptoms.
I tend to lean towards the use of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in recognizing that the mind has a great effect on one's ability to change behaviors and habits. I also utilize Motivational Interviewing (MI) in an effort to direct and inspire you to realize and bring about change in your own life.
I would be honored to help you work through what you've been carrying and find greater clarity. I bring care and understanding to everyone I work with — and I want you to know that change is possible, including changes you may not have realized you needed yet. Take the next step and schedule a session today to start taking an active role in your healing.

When faced with trying to find a therapist of my own, I was met with the reality that it is not "one size fits all" and have done my best in creating an open and accepting approach to anyone who is seeking my care with the understanding that if I am not it, we can still work together towards a better impact.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) currently seeing clients in Virginia and Washington. I started my career in 2020 and have experience working with adolescents and adults seeking help with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, loss, mood disorders, stress management, and substance use. I earned my Bachelor’s degree from Missouri Western State University in my hometown of Saint Joseph, Missouri, and my Master’s degree in Counselor Education from Radford University in Radford, Virginia.
In my practice, I use person-centered, strengths-based, and solution-focused approaches, with the understanding that each person’s experiences are unique. I strive to work collaboratively with my clients, creating a personalized environment that feels comfortable and supportive.
Building trusting relationships is central to my practice. I work to provide a safe, open, and collaborative space where clients can set and achieve meaningful goals.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

My go-to approach to helping kids in child therapy is narrative therapy. I find the best benefit in using narrative therapy because it helps children tell and retell their new evolving story of competency, which is empowering and can create possibilities. It is important to take into account children's strengths and resources, as well as the parents’ availability and capability to facilitate the child’s maturational process.
I teach the following tools in child therapy: I feel statements/communication, strategies for dealing with conflict, ways to calm down/cope with anxiety-including situations (i.e., breathing exercises), friendship skills, etc.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in child therapy when I am able to hear about the changes in the way that they view their experiences.
Clients can supplement their time in child therapy by practicing the tools that they learn each week.
To prepare for their first child therapy session, a child can work with their parent to talk about what it is they want out of therapy/what problems they want to work on.
Child therapy, also known as counseling for kids, helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst kids include behavioral issues, trauma, bullying, depression, and anxiety. All ages of children can attend and benefit from child therapy at Thriveworks Seattle.
Child therapy works by using multiple techniques tailored to fit the child’s needs based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve play therapy for younger kids or cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks child therapists in Seattle, WA have the expertise and experience to help kids at their level.
Child therapy is a type of therapy meant for clients within a specific age group, while play therapy is an approach to therapy that helps children with self-expression and stress relief, among others. Play therapy is a technique that is often used in child therapy to help children express what’s running through their minds when they do not have the words to express their thoughts and emotions. It can get children to express what’s wrong, what might be causing unwanted behaviors, or what they might need in a way that is accessible to them so that therapists can then work to treat the issue.
It’s not always obvious when a child should see a therapist for their behavior, though in the midst of challenges like divorce, loss, bullying, and other mental health conditions, it’s often a good idea to seek it out. Common behaviors that can indicate a need for child therapy include separation anxiety, bedwetting (at inappropriate ages), and agitation/excessive irritability — especially if it reaches a point of physical violence.
Cognitive behavioral therapy at Thriveworks in Seattle, WA is one of the best types of therapy for children. However, it can be administered in child therapy sessions in a variety of ways that are more accessible to young minds, such as play therapy.
Child therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of child therapy depends on your child’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, child therapy sessions will last for several months.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance.

For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state.
