Finding a steadier current through life’s changing tides.
Who I Work With
In my practice, I work with teens and adults (ages 13+) who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted from carrying too much for too long.
Many of my clients are navigating:
anxiety, overthinking, and chronic stress
trauma & the lasting impact of difficult experiences
burnout, caregiving fatigue, and emotional exhaustion
ADHD & executive functioning challenges
life transitions, identity shifts, and changing seasons of life
parenting stress, including special needs parenting and behavioral challenges
feeling disconnected from yourself or stuck in survival mode
I am especially interested in helping people understand the connection between what they’ve experienced, how their nervous system responds, and how that response shows up in our emotions and behavior. My goal isn’t just to help you feel better in the moment. I want you to understand what’s happening and have tools you can actually use outside of therapy.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step. You may have questions about what therapy will actually look like, whether we’ll be a good fit, or even where to begin.
The free consultation is simply a chance to talk. You can tell me a little bit about what brings you here, ask questions, and get a sense of whether working together feels right. There is not pressure to schedule.

Our first session is a little different from a typical therapy session. I’ll spend some time getting to know you, talk about what brought you to therapy, and look at what you hope will change. I will ask questions about your history and what’s happening in your life now so we can begin to understand the bigger picture.
There will be plenty of time for your questions, too. We will use what we learn together to begin figuring out what approach makes the most sense for you.
Delivered via secure, HIPAA-compliant video session (60-90 minutes) - $145

Our sessions will look different depending on what you need. Sometimes we may slow down and make sense of something that keeps happening. Sometime we’ll work on a practical problem that is making life hard. And sometimes we’ll spend time using bilateral stimulation (EMDR) or diving deep into a reaction that seems bigger than the situation itself.
I draw from several approaches, including CBT, relational work, and EMDR, depending on what fits you and what we are working on.

Virtual sessions are currently available throughout Washington State via secure, HIPAA-compliant video sessions, with in-person therapy options available on the Key Peninsula (coming soon!).

Estuary Wellness & Counseling is currently an out-of-network provider and does not bill insurance directly at this time. Superbills are provided upon request for clients to submit to their insurance company for possible reimbursement for counseling costs.
Reduced-fee sliding scale spots are available in limited capacity for individuals experiencing financial hardship. I want cost to be as transparent a possible, and when I have the capacity, I reserve a small number of reduced-fee spots for clients experiencing financial hardship.
Please feel welcome to reach out with questions.
