Empower and Heal Counseling
Welcome to my practice, Empower & Heal Counseling, based in-person on Bainbridge Island and virtually via telehealth throughout Washington state. I offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy for anxiety, depression, and OCD for fifth grade through adolescence and adulthood.
I specialize in supporting parents navigating some of life’s most complex challenges, ranging from supporting families with chronic pediatric illness (especially PANS/PANDAS/Long Covid) and parenting neurodiverse children, to gender identity exploration, anxiety disorders, and OCD. I’m here to walk alongside you to create a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your experiences and build resilience and healing.

Additional Services: In addition to CBT, I am trained in Exposure Response Therapy (ERP) which is considered the gold standard for OCD treatment. Additionally, I have trained in the SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) Treatment model with the founder, Dr. Eli Lebowitz at the Yale Child Study Center. This is a parent-based treatment to reduce child anxiety and OCD, even though children do not attend the sessions. I'm trained to deliver the Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP), an evidence-based biofeedback listening therapy to help regulate the nervous system and improve social engagement based on Polyvagal Theory.
I also offer limited canine Animal-Assisted Therapy sessions for in-person clients who may benefit from connecting with an animal.
