Hi! I’m Olivia
I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate in WA State. I view therapy as a collaborative process, where healing emerges through the experience of feeling truly seen and supported within a safe therapeutic relationship. I bring a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental presence, creating a space where you can feel understood and cared for.
I work with adults and couples of all identities and backgrounds and am grounded in systems theory. This means that in our work, I’ll be curious about how your relationships, environment, and inner world connect and influence one another. I draw from Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Relational Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy, tailoring my approach to fit your unique needs.
I believe each of us carries wisdom within, which I will help you tap into, harness, and incorporate into your life to bring forth desired change. I welcome whatever you bring to therapy, but I am especially passionate about pre-marital counseling, identity work, and body liberation. Clients often describe me as warm and collaborative, with a good sense of humor.
I received my Master of Arts degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Seattle University and my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Puget Sound. Before my role as a therapist, I worked in community mental health on crisis lines, providing advocacy to survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence.
Washington has always been home for me, and in my free time, you can usually find me crafting, running, reading, or curled up with my cats.

In individual therapy, I hold space for you to slow down, tune in, and reconnect with yourself. Together, we can explore the thoughts, feelings, patterns, and experiences that may feel too daunting to tackle on your own. I believe that good therapy is relational and holds a healthy balance of warmth and honesty. This means I focus on creating safety within our therapeutic relationship so that we can bravely and compassionately name the hard things to move toward meaningful change.
My approach primarily integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Narrative Therapy. Rather than seeing emotions as “good” or “bad,” “right” or “wrong,” I will help you examine them with curiosity, learn to view them as a valuable compass, and integrate them into your whole being.
Areas I support clients with include:
Anxiety, perfectionism, panic attacks
Chronic stress, overwhelm, and burnout
Disordered eating and body liberation
Family dynamics, relationships, and boundaries
Identity and sexuality exploration
Life challenges, uncertainty, and decision paralysis
Reconnecting with your inner wisdom and self-trust
Work/life balance and navigating transitions

In couples work, I will support you by being a stable, grounded presence, providing structure and safety as we discuss the areas of your relationship that need the most care.

Reconnecting and cultivating intimacy after seasons of disconnection
