About Mind Forge Therapy PLLC
Mind Forge Therapy focuses on comprehensive mental health services assisting youth and adults with experiences of trauma.
During and after graduate school I have focused on complex trauma and how this impacts day to day life for individuals. I have committed my practice to helping youth, adults, couples, and families navigate and heal from the profound effects of complex childhood and adult trauma. I emphasize collaboration, breaking unhealthy patterns, creating new insights, and empowering clients to cultivate positive change in their lives. Whether you're dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, a new adjustment, or you are seeking to improve your overall mental health, I am here to support you on your journey.
Clinical Approach
My clinical approach focuses on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with trauma-informed care and utilizing EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I am dedicated to helping individuals heal from past traumatic experiences and begin developing healthy coping strategies to move forward in life. My approach to trauma therapy is rooted in an understanding of its complexities and a genuine desire to help forge a path toward a fulfilling life.
Support is offered to youth, adults, families, and couples. I offer free consultations and I look forward to meeting you!

Setting up a 20 minute Consultation
As part of my process, we will begin with an initial consultation where we discuss your concerns and goals for therapy.
After our consultation has taken place we will review and complete necessary consent forms together. This ensures you have a clear understanding of our collaborative approach to your mental health care.
Following this, we may schedule a 90 minute assessment to explore your personal history and current challenges. An assessment will take place only when all consent forms are completed.
Clinician may have a waitlist.
Telehealth Services
My practice is currently telehealth only for Washington state residents.
If in person services are being requested please talk with clinician and we may be able to accommodate alternative options.
Washington State Mental Health Services for Youth
WAC 246-341-065
Minors aged 13 and older can consent to mental health treatment without parental consent, provided the mental health professional deems them capable of understanding the nature and consequences of the treatment. However, parental involvement is encouraged whenever possible and appropriate. For minors under the age of 13, parental consent is typically required for mental health treatment, unless an exception applies where the minor's welfare is at risk or they are otherwise authorized by law to consent. Any individual age 13 and above are responsible for their own services in the mental health industry.
