The world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.
Helen Keller
I'm a licensed psychotherapist working with adults struggling with symptoms of chronic stress, anxiety, depression and developmental trauma — particularly as they manifest in problems around relationships, parenting, work and career, health concerns and major life transitions.
My work focuses, at the outset, on helping clients identify and process the problem memories, stuck emotions or traumas that can drive persistently negative thoughts and unhelpful patterns of behavior.
We clear the path of obstacles and undue stress — the memories, stuck emotions and traumas that keep old patterns in place.
It is my personal goal to help clients build an unshakable trust in their true self, their whole self — to live more of their life with greater love, meaning, and sense of ease.
Wondering whether this approach could fit what you're carrying? Ask Jeanne — it's a short email away.
My therapeutic work assumes a mind-body connection and is highly informed by current neuroscience and Buddhist psychology. My clinical orientation draws from psychodynamic theory and depth psychology as well as attachment theory and developmental psychology.
Applied as appropriate to a client's needs — not a fixed protocol. For anxiety and trauma in particular, I often draw on EMDR therapy. Tap any modality to learn more.
EMDR therapy. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they lose their emotional charge — often useful for anxiety and trauma.
Acceptance & Commitment (ACT). Builds psychological flexibility — making room for difficult feelings while taking action guided by your values.
Mindfulness-based therapies. Cultivate moment-to-moment awareness of thoughts and body sensations, loosening automatic stress reactions.
Psychodynamic. Explores how early experience and unconscious patterns shape present-day feelings and relationships.
Relational. Uses the therapy relationship itself as a place to notice, understand, and change long-standing patterns of connection.
Trauma-informed. Grounded in an understanding of how trauma affects the nervous system — emphasizing safety, choice, and pacing.
Memory reconsolidation. Works with the brain's natural window for updating old emotional learnings with new, corrective experience.
Attachment-based. Focuses on how early bonds shape the ways we connect, trust, and seek comfort as adults.
Affective neuroscience. Draws on the science of emotion in the brain and body to understand and work with what you're feeling.
Buddhist psychology. Brings perspectives on suffering, compassion, and the workings of the mind that complement Western approaches.

All you need is already within you — only you must approach your self with reverence and love. All I plead with you is this: make love of yourself perfect.

I've worked with adults, children and families, providing social work and counseling services within private agency, government and private practice settings for over 30 years. Licensed as a mental health counselor in 2015, I currently provide individual therapy to adults in an online private practice.
Send an email or leave a voicemail. A few sentences about what's going on is plenty — you don't need to explain everything.
Jeanne will respond to set up a brief conversation — a low-pressure chance to ask questions and see whether it feels like a fit.
If it's a match, you'll schedule your first 50-minute online session — from wherever in Washington you are.
Reaching out isn't a commitment. It's just a conversation — and it can wait no longer than you want it to.
Session fees are due at the time of service.
Not sure how your coverage works, or whether the numbers add up? Just ask — it's usually a quick thing to sort out together, and it shouldn't be the reason you wait.
I currently provide individual therapy to adults across Washington State, online. If it feels like a fit, I'd welcome hearing from you.
Whatever brought you to this page today — that's reason enough to say hello.
