About My Clients

I work with men, women, adolescents, and children impacted by anxiety, depression, trauma, lack of meaning, unsatisfying relationships, and the many other genuine difficulties we encounter. I am a Child Mental Health Specialist (CMHS), and have experience working with children and their families to improve connection and relationships.

My Background and Approach

I studied counseling psychology at The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology where I received my Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology, with a focus on interpersonal psychodynamic psychotherapy and trauma recovery. I have a background in individual and family therapy with adults, adolescents, and children. I believe in deep goodness and healing that occurs when we share our brokenness with one another to grieve the past, accept the present, and voice hope for the future. We will spend our time making sense of your past and how it impacts your relationships. I will work with you, your children, or your family to develop relational and coping skills, with the ultimate goal of developing self-compassion as you discover more about yourself. I will approach our work with empathy and compassion.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe therapeutic relationships should be accepting, non-judgmental, and safe, so the relationship itself can be the beginning of change and provide a foundation for new ways of relating. The patterns and cycles we find ourselves stuck in often come from good places, and behaviors that keep us in these patterns are our best attempt to create safety for ourselves, and to build connections with others. When we understand why we do what we do, then we can begin to create new patterns that support living the way we truly desire. I am active in the foster care system, as well as actively learning more on racial and systemic oppression.
