Welcome

I am a licensed psychologist in Washington state

 I began my career working with people with disabilities in 1993. Since 2003, I have trained and practiced as a clinical rehabilitation psychologist in hospital, outpatient, and private practice settings.

I am particularly passionate about working with

• Those who are navigating new or longstanding neurological and neurodevelopmental conditions, including traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, stroke, and autism

• High achieving and high performance demand professionals (e.g., first responders; physicians and medical personnel; pilots and aviation personnel) who want to improve their mental health

• Competitive/elite athletes looking to optimize their mindset and learn sport psychology strategies

• People adjusting to life after a traumatic injury

• Individuals seeking help managing and living with chronic health conditions such as chronic pain and irritable bowel syndrome

• People navigating sensory impairments, including low vision and blindness

Many of my clients are experiencing psychological, vocational, social, relationship, or performance-related challenges while adapting to changes in health, functioning, or identity.

I also work with spouses, family members, and caregivers who are coping with the ongoing stress, grief, and life adjustments that can accompany disability or chronic illness.

My approach is collaborative, practical, and tailored to your individual circumstances. A warm, respectful, and authentic therapeutic relationship provides the foundation for our work together.

I draw from evidence-based practices informed by cognitive-behavioral therapy, rehabilitation psychology, systems theory, and principles of self-advocacy and social justice to help clients build resilience, pursue meaningful goals, and improve quality of life.
