Prue is my first ever therapist. It was amazing to me how quickly she listened and understood even the things that I didn’t say out loud but that she knew I was feeling. She has been so supportive and already in two sessions given me plenty of tools. Our sessions are always educational and encouraging, and I look forward to them each week!

- LMFT
I am licensed in Washington with 30 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, coping with addictions, relationship issues, trauma, abuse, & coping with grief. I am a Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician trained by Dr. Ramani Durvasula. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet you where you are. It takes courage to seek out help, especially when past help has been judgemental, abusive or coercive; indeed courageous given many of our histories. I applaud you for taking the first steps towards a change to honor your true self. It is my honor to support you in counseling.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
