Purpose Statement & Credentials

My Approach:

At Strong Roots Therapy, I believe that true healing starts from the roots up. Life’s challenges, past traumas, and daily stressors can leave us feeling disconnected or stuck. My goal is to provide a safe, grounding space where you can process difficult experiences, uncover your innate resilience, and cultivate deep, lasting growth.

I approach therapy as a collaborative partnership. You are the expert on your own life, and I am here to offer the clinical tools, compassionate support, and unbiased perspective to help you navigate it. My style is warm, interactive, and tailored entirely to your unique needs.

I am also a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy Associate who works with individuals, couples, and families to help you build stronger emotional connections and develop healthier relationship patterns. My practice is grounded in the understanding that secure attachment is fundamental to psychological well-being and personal growth.

My Background and Credentials:

• Education: Bachelor of Science of Psychology at WSU, Master of Science in Marriage in Family Therapy at Capella University
• Licensure: Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate in Washington State
• Specialized Training: EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), Gottman, and EMDR.
