  • I offer psychotherapy for Anxiety Disorders, including Social Anxiety, Health Anxiety, Chronic Worrying, Mild-Moderate OCD, and Perfectionism. 
  • I also support those going through BIG life transitions due to illness, relocation, job change, childbirth, retirement, divorce.
  • I support those suffering from narcissistic abuse and family-of-origin trauma.
  • I am a warm but no-nonsense straight-shooter who expects relief and results for my clients. 
  • My training unwaveringly comes from the cognitive behavioral tradition and I use the best of third-wave CBT. Experience has taught me that integrating Systems, Feminist, Interpersonal, Existential and Humanistic perspectives enriches the therapy experience for my clients.
  • This is an anti-racist, LGBTQIA+ safe space.

ADHD/Autism Assessment

Scheduling now for Neurodiversity-affirming psychological evaluations for Adult ADHD, Autism, and related concerns.

 

  • As a neurotypical psychologist I have worked diligently to update my training and offer affirming evaluations for individuals aged 18 and above who have not previously had the opportunity to be assessed and receive support for their neurodivergence.
  • My focus is particularly on neurodivergent presentations in women, non-binary, and femme individuals who have been historically overlooked due to oppressive systems and limited access to resources.
  • I am currently scheduling evaluations for June 2024.  Some of these evaluations may be covered by Premera BC and PacificSource insurance plans and I can offer a Superbill and payment plans.

About The Practice

 

 

  • I have been in the mental health field for over 25+ years, and a licensed psychologist for 15. Originally from Arizona, I moved to the beautiful PNW after years of planning my escape from the desert heat, with stops in both southern and central California.
  • This is the second iteration of my private practice; prior to this I had a general practice in Phoenix, AZ where I saw tweens, teens, adults and families. That practice also had “Carefree” in the name after the beautiful highway I drove daily from my previous home in Cave Creek, AZ.
  • I’ve worked in numerous medical settings and hospitals over the years, in corrections, and as a consultant, researcher, and assistant professor of psychology. I have NEVER been bored as a psychologist and have been very grateful to work with many wonderful clients.
  • I’m able to practice in over 40 US States as a part of PSYPACT, offering online therapy and psychological testing via Zoom.
