Asking for help is a courageous first step

Issues I've helped people with: 

  • Feeling anxious​ ​
  • ​Societal pressures to be, do, and look certain ways
  • Trying to be the perfect employee, partner, mom, sister, daughter, and friend all at once​
  • Feeling disconnected
  • Working through relationship issues ​
  • Expectations from family or spouses, work and career choices, to have or not have children, the list goes on and on


​Living with anxiety, depression, and stress can make daily life painful.  You'll get the support you need from me, to help you get past the barriers that make you feel stuck in your life.  The counseling I'll provide is focused on results and making real changes to make your life better.  ​If you are tired of living with stress, anxiety, anger, fear, and numbness I can help. 

​I understand that your situation is unique and my approach to helping you will be a plan made specifically for you.  I don't believe there is a "one size fits all" answer to your problems. Together, we will focus on actionable ways we can improve your life and happiness.  ​I'll help you enrich your life and boost you up so that you create the changes that you have been wanting.  The goal of our counseling will be to get to where YOU want to be as fast as possible.
​
Don't worry, no pattern or behavior is too fixed. We can create a plan to help you move forward as long as you have the desire to start.  I'll provide the tools and knowledge to help you change, grow, and heal.  I won't try to impress you with fancy buzz words or psycho-babble, we'll focus on YOUR thoughts, actions, and behaviors so we can get you out there and living a happy fulfilling life.  The steps may be challenging and tough at times but there will definitely still be laughs along the way! ​​

Together we will work on solutions to move forward, not dwell on the past. ​

Maybe you are working on some new changes in your life and you just need support in making your life better? I've helped people on a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, self esteem, intimacy, vulnerability, relationships, setting boundaries, and life changes.  I'll provide a safe space for you to come with questions that you may think are embarrassing or vulnerable. 

I've lived an interesting life so far.  I know life is not always easy, but I can help you get through it!  I've gone through a divorce (now happily re-married) and my mother died after a long struggle with Dementia. I survived and I'm very happy with my life and I want to help others do the same.  I am in this work because I love seeing human resilience and the positive changes that people can make in their lives! We only get one life so why not make it a happy one! I'll help you get the skills to make the most of your life.  

It might not be easy and we might need to push you out of your comfort zone, but REAL GROWTH doesn't happen when you are comfortable (sorry, it's true, but I can help).  

​​My goal is to get you better, but that also puts me out of a job, which is OK by me!

About me
THE BORING STUFF
​​I have a Bachelor of Science in Counseling and Human Services from Montana State University-Billings and a Masters in Social Work (MSW, Multi-generational Practice) from the University of Washington. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (Washington License #:LW60992526).

I chose to do online therapy so I could help people that otherwise would never go through with therapy or counseling due to lack of time or access.  With this community in mind I chose to set up my practice online to help people get the counseling and healing they need at their own convenience.

​I have over 25 years in the social work profession. I have worked in psychiatric hospitals, public and child welfare offices, residential counseling programs for adolescents with emotional and behavioral disturbances, residential programs for children and adults with physical and intellectual disabilities, and in Hospice. 
THE JUICY STUFF

My life experiences and influences have resulted in my empathic, kind, and funny personality. I have survived challenging situations just like every other human. I have made major life mistakes and learned from them. I have had moments of despair, struggle and sadness such as my mother dying after a long struggle with dementia. I've also survived a divorce and am now happily married to my 2nd husband.  

​In surviving these moments (through lots of work, my own therapy, and self-reflection), I have learned to navigate many personal and professional challenges that have shown me how strong I can be, which is why I believe that most things are survivable.  Most challenges can be overcome, and with support, most people can get past what is holding them back…if they want to.

It can be scary, and feel unsafe, and even seem impossible, but with the right support and the desire and willingness to open up and consider the possibility, we can all heal. I am known for seeking out new challenges and constantly trying to better myself, which has led me to becoming an online therapist. With kindness, compassion, honesty, and courage, I want to help you heal fearlessly!
