Therapy should fit the person in the room, not a script written before you got there. I work with individuals, adolescents, adults, couples, and families on identity, anxiety, and the patterns that started as survival and now just feel like static, the habits and defenses that once protected you and now mostly just get in the way.

I have particular care for LGBTQ+ and gender-diverse clients who are tired of educating a new provider before the real work can start, and as a Child Mental Health Specialist, I also work directly with children and families navigating identity and anxiety together, not just adults. I draw on Gottman Method, a structured approach for couples built around specific communication and conflict tools, and the Person-of-the-Therapist model, which asks me to bring my own reflexive awareness into the room rather than hide behind clinical distance. Every session with me is grounded in that same systemic, personalized lens, whether I'm working with a six-year-old or a couple married for twenty years.

I'm also an AAMFT Approved Supervisor, and I bring that same approach to the associates and interns I train, several of whom are on staff at Northwest Relationships right now. If you reach out, expect to hear back within one business day, that's a standing commitment, not a courtesy.

Families in Pierce County looking for a child or adolescent therapist, couples ready to work on the pattern between them, and LGBTQ+ or gender-diverse clients who want a provider who already understands their world all have a place here.

If this sounds like the right fit, request a session or start an intake form, and expect to hear back within one business day. If you're supervising toward AAMFT or considering NWR as an internship or associate site, feel free to reach out directly with questions about what that looks like with me specifically.
