Life is hard. I can help.
Compassionate, collaborative counseling in Bellevue, WA and online throughout Washington State
Maybe you can’t name what’s wrong. You just know something has to change.
A relationship ended, or is ending. Someone you love has become distant. You're grieving something — a person, a marriage, a version of your life you'd counted on. Or maybe nothing dramatic happened at all, and that's the confusing part: you just feel stuck, disconnected, like you've lost the thread of yourself somewhere along the way.
Whatever brought you here, you're in the right place. Things can get better. Not by pretending the hard parts aren't hard — but by facing them with someone steady beside you.
What you’re hoping for: to feel less overwhelmed, less emotionally raw, and to be more present and grounded. To have more clarity about what’s happening, and how to move forward. To feel more connected with people you care about. To find more meaning in your days, and more trust in your inner voice.
You’re not afraid to do the work—but you don’t want to do it alone.

let’s talk.
I work with adults navigating complex relationship loss, life transitions, and the anxiety, depression, and old wounds that so often travel alongside them.
I can help you with…
-
Relationships
Whether a spouse, a life partner, a family member, or a friend, relationships are at the heart of what gives our lives shape and meaning. Yet they can also be sources of frustration, disappointment, and stress. Divorce, betrayal, estrangement, or disconnection can turn your world upside down and cause deep pain and heartache. I help you work your way through difficult emotions, figure out what happened, and identify what you want to do going forward.
-
Grief and Loss
Grief is bigger than most people expect. It can be the loss of a person, and it's also the loss of a marriage, a relationship, a role you'd held for years, a future you'd counted on, a version of yourself you thought you knew. I help people sit with all of it, make sense of it, and find their way through.
-
Life Transitions
Sometimes, life throws you an unexpected curve ball. Divorce, loss of a loved one, career stress, family drama, and other plot twists can bring feelings of grief, anger, anxiety, burnout, and numbness. I can help you navigate through painful circumstances, make difficult choices and decisions, and find greater resilience, emotional stability, and well-being in the midst of uncertainty and upheaval.
-
Anxiety and Depression
Anxiety and depression can show up at any time in life, sometimes in response to particular circumstances, or sometimes for no identifiable reason. I can help you learn effective tools and practices that will help you find more peace, ease, and lightness, and leave you feeling grounded and stable even when working through difficult times.
