Individual Online Therapy from Seattle for Clients Across Washington State

A new path begins here.

As a licensed clinical social worker with more than 15 years of experience, I provide online therapy for adults facing acute and complex trauma, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, chronic illness, relationship challenges and power imbalances at work, home and in the larger social spheres. My work extends beyond therapy to include mental health advocacy for older adults and social services consulting, helping individuals, families and organizations address the challenges of aging, mental health and access to supportive care.

I’m glad you’re here

Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who are used to managing a lot on their own. Some have been in therapy before. Others are seeking help for the first time.

As a therapist, my approach is warm, direct and down-to-earth, grounded in years of real life experience. Therapy with me is collaborative. Together, we’ll work to understand what’s happening, identify what can change and find meaningful, practical ways to move forward.

I invite you to get to know me a bit through my website. If you have questions or would like to talk with me about working together, get in touch. I’d be happy to help.
