Why GreyMatters?


Cleveland Clinic defines grey matter as the tissue responsible for thoughts, memories, feelings, and actions. Grey matters because not everything is black and white. And anecdotally, grey matters as we age. Regardless of where you find yourself, GreyMatters exists because you matter!

Your Story Matters — Let's Find Your Path Forward Together


Are you navigating a major life change and feeling unsteady? Maybe anxiety or depression has made everyday life harder than it should be, or you're carrying grief or trauma that won't seem to loosen its grip. Perhaps you're simply asking bigger questions about who you are and where you're headed. Whatever brought you here, it takes courage to look for support — and you don't have to figure it all out on your own.


Imagine having a space where you're truly heard, without judgment, maybe for the first time. That's what therapy with me offers. Together, we'll explore your story with curiosity and compassion, and I'll draw from a wide range of proven, evidence-based approaches to help you build a toolkit that actually fits your life — not a one-size-fits-all solution. As you learn to treat yourself with the same acceptance and understanding, you'll be better equipped to handle what's hard and move toward the life you want.


I hold a Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate in Washington, with three years of experience helping people work through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and self-discovery.


If you're ready to tell your story and start building your way forward, reach out today to schedule a free 20 minute consultation. I'd be honored to hear from you.

A Safe Space

Where Growth Begins

I like the visual of being a hiking partner. This is your journey; you know ultimately where you want to be and you have most of the tools to get you there. I am here to listen, accept, encourage, and help you move obstacles or learn how to better use your tools to build the journey and life you want. If you get stuck, want to change direction, or need to dig down before moving forward, I can share the tools I have until we find the one that works for you.

01

Genuine Safety

A judgment-free space where you can be fully yourself - your thoughts, feelings, and pace are always respected.

02

Evidence-Based Care

Proven therapeutic approaches personalized to your situation, not a one-size-fits-all methodology.

03

Lasting Growth

Tools and insights that extend beyond our sessions, helping you build resilience that stays with you.

Every journey begins

with a single conversation.

Your first consultation is free, with no commitment. Let's talk about what you're going through and whether we're a good fit.
