About
Focusing on your own health and well-being, often called self-care, is essential for a happier, more resilient, and fulfilling life. It's not selfish; by taking care of yourself, you are better equipped to care for others and manage life's challenges.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 6 years of experience supporting adults facing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, and other mood and thought-related challenges. I provide a warm, grounded space for clients who want to better understand themselves, build emotional balance, and create sustainable change. My goal is to meet each person with clarity, compassion, and evidence-based care.
I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice from Walden University. My approach blends clinical expertise with a whole-person lens, using evidence-based treatments tailored to individual needs. I work collaboratively with clients to explore symptoms, strengthen insight, and develop practical strategies that support long-term stability and well-being.
I am here to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered as you navigate what comes next. Together, we will identify your goals and create a plan that meets you where you are. You do not have to face your challenges alone. I would be honored to partner with you in building the healthier, more grounded life you deserve.

OCD counseling is a specialized therapeutic approach aimed at supporting individuals coping with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The goal of this counseling is to help clients manage and alleviate the distressing symptoms of OCD by systematically addressing their obsessive thought patterns and compulsive behaviors.
In OCD counseling, Thriveworks Seattle therapists use cognitive behavioral techniques, including exposure and response prevention, to assist you in addressing and managing your obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. An OCD therapist will collaborate with you to identify and modify irrational thought patterns while gradually and gently exposing you to anxiety-triggering situations, helping to disrupt the cycle of obsessive-compulsive rituals and promote healthier coping strategies.
Thriveworks OCD counseling in Seattle, WA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The number of sessions for OCD counseling is variable, contingent upon the individual’s unique needs, the severity of their condition, and their progress during treatment. Typically, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), commonly used for OCD, comprises around 12 to 16 weekly sessions, but the exact session count can be customized based on the individual’s response to treatment and therapeutic objectives. Some opt for a more extended duration to comprehensively manage symptoms and address complex issues.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
