Having a wide range of emotion is both a gift and a necessity.  Yet for many, emotional experiences can feel overwhelming.  When painful thoughts, high levels of anxiety, depression or numbness, and unhealthy patterns and self-defeating behaviors are present, psychotherapy can help. 

 

I have practiced psychology within the Olympia community since 2013, working primarily with adolescents and young adults.  Before moving to Olympia, I earned a doctorate in clinical psychology from The George Washington University in Washington, DC and completed a clinical internship and residency at a hospital for children and adolescents in New Kent, Virginia.  I am a member of the Washington State Psychological Association and the National Register of Health Service Psychologists.

​

I have an excellent track record helping those who have had unsuccessful experiences with previous treatment, and those who find it difficult to "open up."

​

I look forward to helping you or your teen learn to increase emotional stability, challenge and clarify negative thoughts, and grow resilient in the face of challenge.
