My Approach to Therapy

**ACCEPTING NEW IN-PERSON AND TELEHEALTH CLIENTS** Though I work with a wide range of clinical issues, I have a passion for working with clients to heal the wounds of abuse, other traumas, or narcissism; work through family-of-origin and attachment issues; liberate from the confines of anxiety, panic, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (or tendencies); repair and heal from relational issues; develop effective boundary-drawing; transform self-concept and self-esteem; and grow to find peace, joy, purpose, and overall wellness. I offer a compassionate understanding of who you are, how you show up in the world, and how you experience people, events, and the world around you. I work with you to identify and build on the strengths within you while developing new strategies and uncovering new insights to help you heal, grow, and flourish. I am nurturing while also able to challenge long-held beliefs and patterns, which may be keeping you stuck or holding you back from the life you want to live. I wish you well on your journey!

My Practice & Services

I began practicing psychotherapy over 25 years ago in the greater Washington, DC area. After 4 years, I moved back to the Northwest to join Rainier Associates, a private practice group in Tacoma, WA. I loved this model, but, after 17 years, our group was acquired by a large, nationwide corporation. Although a large corporation is able to provide access to care to more clients, I recognized that a small, personalized setting best compliments my therapeutic approach and decided to establish my own private practice: Be Well, Washington, PLLC. I offer in-person therapy the North End of Tacoma and telehealth for all of Washington State. WA LICSW license number: LW00007980 NPI Number: 1497807564

Groups I Work With

I have extensive experience working with survivors of early life trauma. Often, these individuals have kept their traumatic experiences a secret, which they have carried alone through their life. I consider it a privilege to earn their trust and walk the journey with them as they heal and find freedom from the hold their trauma has had on them. I also have significant experience working with clients struggling with family-of-origin issues (past or present dynamics with family-of-origin, or family-of-origin issues impacting other relationships), as well as other attachment issues, interpersonal difficulties, and couples issues. Coping with a person in a client's life with narcissistic personality disorder (or narcissistic traits) is another focus of my practice in which I work with clients who are still in the relationship, as well as those who have ended the relationship but still struggle with the ongoing impact the person had and continues to have on them and their life. I also specialize in the range of anxiety disorders, helping clients find their way through generalized anxiety, panic, phobias (including agoraphobia and social phobia), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (or tendencies) towards more effective, less distressed functioning.
