A relational space to explore connection, meaning, and change.
Our struggles do not emerge in isolation. They are shaped by family, culture, and the roles we have learned to carry. In therapy, we explore these contexts together, creating space for clarity, responsibility, and meaningful change.
Making Sense, Together
My work is shaped by relational, emotionally focused, narrative, and existential ways of understanding people. I do not see individuals as isolated from their contexts. Our lives are formed within families, cultures, migrations, faith traditions, social locations, and relationships that leave their imprint in visible and invisible ways.
In our time together, we pay attention to how these influences have shaped your sense of self and your way of relating. Rather than asking “What is wrong with you?” we might ask, “How did this pattern begin? What was it protecting? What story has it been telling about you?” We explore the narratives that have taken root in your life — especially the ones that feel heavy, repetitive, or limiting — and we become curious about whether they still fit.
You may be here because something in your life or relationships feels stuck — or because you sense there is more clarity and connection possible.
I work with individuals, couples, and families who find themselves repeating familiar patterns, wrestling with anxiety or loneliness, or questioning how to live more honestly and fully.
Meeting Space
Virtual sessions are offered to individuals, couples, and families who are physically located in Washington State at the time of service. This is required by professional licensing regulations, which allow me to provide care only when a client is in Washington during our session. Honoring this guideline helps protect your confidentiality, ensures ethical practice, and allows me to support you within the appropriate legal and community framework.

Please note: Because of licensure requirements, you must be physically located in Washington at the time of each session. -
I practice outside of insurance networks. Insurance companies often require a mental health diagnosis and detailed documentation in order to authorize sessions. I prefer to keep our work centered on your lived experience rather than on meeting external criteria.
Working independently allows for greater privacy and flexibility in pacing. Our sessions are guided by what feels important and meaningful to you.
I am also mindful that financial realities shape access to therapy. My fee operates within a small range. You are welcome to select the amount that feels workable for your current circumstances, without explanation.
-
I practice outside of insurance networks and do not bill insurance directly. Upon request, I can provide a monthly superbill, which is an itemized receipt that clients may choose to submit to their insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Reimbursement is determined by your insurance plan and is not guaranteed, as coverage and requirements vary.
Because insurance companies require specific documentation, including a mental health diagnosis, I encourage clients to consider whether submitting a superbill aligns with their needs and values. I’m happy to discuss this process and answer questions as they arise.
Payment is due at the time of each session and is processed through a secure client portal. Keeping the administrative side of therapy clear and predictable allows us to focus our time and attention on the therapeutic process itself.

You can begin by reaching out through the contact form on my website or by email. You’re welcome to briefly share what brings you here, though you do not need to have everything clearly articulated.
From there, we can schedule an initial consultation to talk about what you’re hoping for and whether this feels like a workable fit. The first conversation is simply a place to begin — not a commitment to have everything figured out.
-
Working with me tends to feel thoughtful and collaborative. I listen carefully and take time to understand the larger context of your life — your relationships, culture, family history, and the meanings you’ve made along the way.
Some sessions may feel reflective and spacious, allowing room for emotions that haven’t had space before. At other times, I may gently name patterns I notice or ask questions that invite a different perspective. The work can be honest and at times challenging, but it is never rushed or shaming.
Above all, I aim to create a space where you feel respected — not diagnosed or reduced — and where insight leads toward more secure and intentional ways of relating.
-
Sessions are typically 50-55 minutes and most clients begin meeting weekly. Consistency often helps us build momentum and trust in the work. Over time, the frequency can shift depending on your needs and what feels sustainable.
There is no predetermined timeline for therapy. Some people come for a focused period around a specific transition or conflict. Others choose longer-term work to explore deeper relational patterns. We revisit this together as the work unfolds.
-
If faith, spirituality, or questions about meaning are important to you, they are welcome in our conversations. I do not impose beliefs or frameworks, but I respect that many people understand their suffering, responsibility, and hope through spiritual lenses. We can explore those dimensions thoughtfully and with care.
“Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.”
