Meet the Minds Behind Pacific Pines

Clinical excellence meets a holistic, human-centered approach in Tacoma and across Washington State.

Rooted in Resilience.

Growing Together.

Rooted in Resilience. Growing Together.

Pacific Pines Counseling is founded on the belief that every individual has an innate capacity for growth and healing. We all have the strength and skills to weather the storms of life and grow toward the light.

Sometimes, everyone needs a little support to find their footing and remember who they really are and who they’ve always wanted to become.

Every session is tailored to help you cultivate resilience, rewrite your narrative, and grow at your own pace. Your unique story is the map that guides us forward.

Meet The Clinician


You are not a case file. You are a person with an intricate story, and worthy of dedicating time to hearing and understanding it.

Why Choose Pacific Pines Counseling?

  • Mental health isn’t one-size-fits-all, so we blend over two dozen evidence-based modalities to create a treatment plan tailored specifically to your unique biology and lived experience. Rather than forcing you into a single mold, we adapt our approach in real-time to ensure every session resonates with your personal needs and goals.

  • Our practice is built on a foundation of deep cultural humility, ensuring that survivors of trauma and neurodivergent individuals (including ADHD and Autism) feel seen, understood, and safe from the moment they walk in. We move beyond basic accommodation to actively celebrate your unique identity, creating an environment where your differences are viewed as strengths rather than deficits.

  • We do not use Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to write your clinical notes or progress notes. We also do not use or allow the use of AI tools to record your sessions, by clients or clinicians. Documentation referencing your personal health information (PHI) is written by licensed mental health professionals who know your story personally. More on our privacy and data policies here.

  • We prioritize your privacy by selecting encrypted platforms like SimplePractice that strictly adhere to HIPAA standards for data security and confidentiality. Your sensitive information never leaves our secure processing ecosystem, and our explicit protocols prevent AI training or data leakage.

  • Whether you prefer the comfort of a dedicated, soundproof office in Tacoma (coming soon!) or the flexibility of secure video sessions from anywhere across Washington, we offer a flexible hybrid model designed to fit your lifestyle. We enjoy offering clients face-to-face connection, modern convenience, and high-quality care, accessible wherever you are in our beautiful state.
