About My Clients
You might look like you have it all together, but inside feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of what you are feeling and why. If you tend to live in your head, avoid emotions, or feel unsure how to handle them when they do show up, you're not alone. I help clients build emotional awareness, regulation skills, and a stronger sense of connection to themselves and others.
My Background and Approach
I am a Nationally Certified (NCC) Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over 7 years of combined education and experience. After earning my graduate degree from Gonzaga University, I completed the Dialectical Behavior Therapy Intensive Training™ through BTECH, and specialized in DBT- teaching people skills to help with emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. I have also completed training and utilize multiple other therapy modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational interviewing, and couples counseling from the Gottman Institute. I am passionate about providing my clients a space to explore their values and experiences. We will work together to better understand your emotional and behavioral patterns, while also building concrete skills for regulation, communication, and and navigating relationships. My work is grounded in DBT, with additional focus on attachment, relational dynamics, and trauma informed care.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
It can be hard to find time and space just for you in a busy, demanding world, and my goal is to provide exactly that. I believe we are all doing our best to navigate a sometimes messy and complex life, and I’m passionate about helping people explore their past and present to better understand themselves, identify strengths, and create meaningful, lasting change. I view emotions not as something to avoid or fix, but as meaningful signals that offer insight and direction. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to have it all figured out. I value authenticity, honesty, and creating an environment where you can show up as you are...while also being supported and gently challenged to grow, build new skills, and create more connection in your life. I would be honored to partner with you as you take this brave step toward greater self-understanding and well-being.
