I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist (PY60535554) with Masters and Doctorate (PsyD) degrees in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis on Intercultural Dynamics from the Washington School of Professional Psychology. My graduate thesis involved studying resiliency and intergenerational impacts of trauma. I was honored to witness and document the stories of Japanese American survivors and descendants of WWII incarceration and the ensuing cultural trauma of the community. My interest and research in cultural dynamics informs my practice by seeking understanding of the intersections of identity and systems in our lives.
I provide couples and individual therapy to adolescents and adults with a variety of backgrounds and mental health needs. I have extensive training in working with adults in trauma-recovery including survivors of childhood abuse, combat-trauma, and domestic abuse. I believe each person possesses unique strengths, needs, and a worldview that impact the work completed in therapy.
In addition to my psychotherapy practice, I provide consultation and supervision to mental health professionals. I am certified by the state of Washington as an approved supervisor. Further, my decades-long work in trauma recovery offers a unique consultative relationship in professionals experiencing secondary trauma.
In my leisure, I enjoy spending time connecting with those important to me, getting outdoors, cooking and finding the humor and curious side to life. You can find me kayaking the waters of the Puget Sound frequently as my partner and husband owns a kayaking excursion and ecotourism company.
