I work with pre-teens, teens and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, low self-esteem, codependency, healing from narcissistic parents/partners, and high achieving individuals looking to be more present in their lives.

I understand how frustrating and powerless it can feel to be trapped in our own mind. It feels like someone is in the driver seat and we are merely a passenger, along for the ride. This might look like overthinking before going into social situations, constant negative self talk or entering into relationships because we crave a sense of safety. This is just the mind trying to keep us safe. And I am so thankful for that! My goal for myself and all my clients is to get a point where we are able to understand why we might feel that way, and still do the thing that scares us. Our mind will create a million narratives to keep us safe, and they might not all be true. I am big on “duality”, honoring the concept that we can hold two things at once. I work with all my clients to ensure we are not shaming ourselves for being anxious, depressed, codependent, etc. but holding compassion and also holding ourselves accountable.

I see my role as therapist as holding a flashlight while you tell me where to go. I will never place myself as having all the answers or being the expert. I am merely a human on this journey with you. My goal is to help you build self-confidence, foster better relationships and gain a deeper understanding of yourself. I pull from a variety of modalities such as Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamics and Narrative Therapy to best suit you and your goals. I believe that we all have the innate power to overcome whatever obstacles are in our way, sometimes we just need the space to discover it.

I am a Washington native who has grown so accustomed to the rain that I’ve begun to love it. I strive to be myself at all times and you will find I am the same in the therapy room as I am on the couch. I love to laugh and will joke about basically everything. I value connection deeply and strive to be curious about others at all times. This passion led me to pursue my Masters in Counseling Psychology at Bastyr University. I have a cat named Honey who you will most definitely meet in virtual sessions! I am an avid foodie and love spending time with friends over a meal.
