About My Clients

My ideal clients are individuals navigating the complex aftermath of trauma, profound life transitions, or chronic stress. You might feel overwhelmed by your past or disconnected from your present self. I specialize in serving adults who are ready to explore their healing journey but need a supportive space to do so. Whether you are processing deep-seated trauma or seeking greater emotional balance, we will collaborate to help you rediscover your strength and reclaim your narrative.

My Background and Approach

As a dedicated counselor, I have been working in the mental health field since 2006 and established my original practice in 2014. I am licensed to practice in Washington, New York, Oregon, and Washington, D.C. Over the past two decades, I have focused extensively on trauma-informed care, clinical oversight, and providing therapy services directly to clients. My approach centers on integrity and intentional pacing, ensuring that our therapeutic work moves at a speed that feels entirely safe and sustainable for you. By offering remote therapy services, I provide the flexibility of high-quality telehealth care from the comfort of your own environment. This specialized experience allows me to blend evidence-based clinical expertise with deep empathy, directly benefiting you by creating a structured yet profoundly adaptive space where you can process difficult experiences without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe people are deeply interconnected and constantly impact one another. To navigate these dynamics, we must focus intentionally on our own well-being. This allows us to lead balanced, insightful lives that work deliberately with the experiences we carry as individuals and collectives within our specific cultural landscapes. True therapeutic growth requires a practical commitment to human dignity, equity, and meeting people exactly where they are. Outside of my clinical practice, I highly value the outdoors. I find genuine peace and grounding among the trees, appreciating the perspective that comes from being out in nature. This connection directly influences my approach to restoration and patience, and it is reflected in the name of my practice, Olympic Trauma Specialists, which pays homage to the mountains I live near. I bring this steady, authentic focus to every professional relationship, supporting clients as they build long-term well-being and clear paths forward.
