All around Mount Rainier, when skies are clear & the sun is shining, people celebrate. We just feel better. There’s a phrase for when you can see the iconic peak: the mountain is out.

When we make the commitment to work on ourselves, it can feel like the clouds are parting and the sun is shining, offering hope and an opportunity for a new day in which we can be our authentic selves and live in accordance with our values.

Specializing in OCD and Anxiety Disorders

Hi and welcome! I’m Jenn and I have been working in the mental health field for several decades. Mental health is my passion! I use an integrative approach to therapy, depending on the needs of each client. I am trained in evidence-based treatments for OCD and Anxiety Disorders. I bring my authentic self to sessions and I want you to feel comfortable to do so as well. If you are struggling and are new to therapy, or if you’ve tried therapy before but found it didn’t get you the results you were hoping for, you may find it helpful to try again with a different approach. I believe the therapeutic relationship is essential to great outcomes, so I’d love to connect to see if we are a good fit! If you are struggling with OCD, Panic Disorder, Health Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Generalized Anxiety, Agoraphobia, Emetophobia, rumination/spiraling, or avoiding places and people you value, please reach out!

An Integrated Approach to Therapy

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Anxiety

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective, research-backed approaches for treating anxiety disorders. Whether you're facing persistent worry, panic attacks, social fears, or intrusive thoughts, CBT offers practical tools to help you break free from anxiety’s grip.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by helping you identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, change behaviors that fuel anxiety, and build coping skills to manage stress and uncertainty. This structured, goal-oriented approach empowers you to respond to anxiety with clarity rather than fear. It’s not just about talking — it’s about learning and practicing new ways to think, act, and live.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a mindfulness-based approach that helps you relate to difficult thoughts and feelings in a new way—without getting stuck or overwhelmed by them. Instead of fighting anxiety or trying to eliminate uncomfortable thoughts, ACT guides you to make room for them while staying connected to what truly matters in your life. Through practical tools and values-based action, ACT helps you build psychological flexibility, reduce avoidance, and live with greater clarity and purpose—even in the presence of anxiety or OCD.

Exposure and Response Prevention

Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is an evidence-based therapy for treating OCD and anxiety disorders. ERP helps you gradually face feared thoughts, images, or situations while learning to resist the urge to engage in compulsive behaviors or avoidance. Over time, this process reduces anxiety and builds confidence in your ability to tolerate uncertainty. With the right support, you can break free from the cycle of fear and regain control of your life

Metacognitve Therapy

Metacognitive Therapy (MCT) is an innovative approach that focuses on how you relate to your thoughts, rather than what the thoughts say. It’s especially effective for anxiety and OCD, where worry, rumination, and over-monitoring can feel overwhelming. MCT helps you recognize unhelpful thinking patterns—like constantly analyzing or trying to “figure out” your thoughts—and teaches you how to reduce these habits. By changing your relationship with worry itself, Metacognitive Therapy empowers you to feel more present, less stuck, and more in control.

Inference-Based CBT for OCD

Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) is a specialized, evidence-based treatment for OCD that focuses on the reasoning process behind intrusive thoughts/obsessional doubts, rather than the content of the thoughts themselves. OCD often begins when the mind mistakes imagined possibilities for real threats. I-CBT helps you identify this shift from reality-based thinking to doubt-driven thinking, and teaches you how to reconnect with your senses, common sense, and sense of self. By addressing the root of obsessive doubt, I-CBT offers a powerful path out of the OCD cycle and helps you learn to trust yourself again.

Talk Therapy for Self-Understanding and Healing

I offer traditional talk therapy grounded in attachment theory and psychodynamic principles to help you explore how past experiences—especially in early relationships—shape your sense of self and current patterns. This reflective, relational approach supports lasting growth in self-esteem, emotional awareness, and relationship dynamics

Paying for Therapy

I am currently in-network with Premera, Lifewise, and any plans processed through Premera (some BCBS and Anthem plans). I am considered an out-of-network provider for all other insurance companies.
I am able to provide “Superbills” for all services. These are receipts which you can submit to your insurance as claims for potential reimbursement.
Please contact your insurance by calling the number on the back of your card. Here are some helpful questions to ask them:
- Do I have “out of network benefits”?
- If yes: “What is my deductible?”
- What part of that deductible have I met so far (if at all)?
- How do I submit Superbills for reimbursement?
You will be asked to place a debit or credit card on file for your appointments. You can pay for your therapy with Health Savings Accounts (HSA) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA).
You technically are not supposed to used these cards for missed appointments, however.
I accept credit, debit, and HSA/FSA cards.
Payment is due at the time of service unless special arrangements have been made. Your card will automatically be charged the evening of your appointment- never before.
You must cancel your appointment 24 hours in advance of the scheduled appointment.
You will be charged the full amount of the session for missed appointments or failing to cancel 24 hours prior to your appointment.
“No shows” will be charged the full session fee.
Missed session fees cannot be reimbursed by insurance.
Overview:
The No Surprises Act which is a part of the consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, is designed to protect clients from receiving unexpected medical bills.
The "Good Faith Estimate”, provided prior to beginning treatment, is to give you an idea of what you'll be charged with.
If I am not billing your insurance, this eliminates any surprise fees as you are aware of the rate you are paying for therapy as well as the rate of late cancellations or no shows.
