our team at the Centralia wing

 I have lived in the Olympia area most of my life. I have built a life here with my husband and our two children. I love to garden and be outside, but I also enjoy video & board games or a good fantasy book. 

I work with adolescents and adults moving through life's transitions and challenges. Each person's journey is different, so I aim to use techniques that fit each individual's needs. I use an integrative approach stemming from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment Theory, Family Systems Theory and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I use techniques such as play, expressive art, and talk therapy. 
I focus on creating a safe space for people to explore difficult emotions and use a collaborative approach to help clients reach their goals.
