Licensed Mental Health Counselor
I believe that all persons have the basic right to be heard. We all have experiences that make up who we are, some of which we may need or wish to explore further or heal from. ​
​
After many years of working with adolescents and adults, I discovered a deep passion for working with children (ages 4+). While I continue to enjoy supporting adolescents and adults, I have found great fulfillment in helping young children navigate their emotions and experiences.
​
I provide individual, couples, family, and group therapy in an affirming and inclusive space. I am LGBTQ+ friendly and neurodivergent-affirming, with extensive experience working with individuals with diverse developmental abilities.
​
While I welcome those seeking brief therapy, I am particularly passionate about working with individuals who wish to engage in deeper, long-term healing. Every healing journey is unique, and I am here to support you at your own pace.
​
My approach is eclectic and rooted in a systemic perspective—understanding that we are all part of a larger whole. I incorporate a variety of therapeutic techniques, including, evidenced-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and borrow from, Play Therapy, Art Therapy, traditional talk therapy, Animal-Assisted Therapy, Sand Tray, Mindfulness, Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
​
I have completed the University of Washington’s Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Certificate Program and hold credentials as a mental health specialist in Children, Minority (Native American), and Developmentally Disabled populations.
