I am a Native American (enrolled Cowlitz and Cree) and White woman, with a dedication to social justice and a sensitivity to the complex race, culture, and identity issues that many of us carry and strive to understand. I bring a lifetime of experience to bear in my practice and a generous does of humor and tenacity. I believe peace, well being and safety are human rights. I believe creativity is essential to the healing process. 

Therapy is a partnership that can help to support and advance your healing, well-being, and empowerment. The therapeutic process is grounded in openness and collaboration and should be as unique as you.

As a therapist my approach is to create a safe and respectful space and build a foundation of trust. I am a creative practitioner and recognize that each person brings with them intrinsic ability toward self-healing and resilience.

My approach is holistically geared toward assisting people in finding and regaining balance in their lives. My process in therapy is trauma informed and strengths based, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, narrative, and somatic therapy approaches, including hypnosis. Because addictions and mental health are often related, I also work with dual diagnoses clients to help them in their recovery. I have a special affinity and many years of experience working with Indigenous and BiPOC population.
