In therapy with me, you can expect openness, curiosity, and space to fully be yourself. I don’t come in with a rigid agenda or timeline. Instead, I walk alongside you as an empathic witness, helping you tap into your own inner compass. It’s my intent to foster safety, non-judgement, and an opening for the fullness of your story.

My work is eclectic, drawing from Internal Family Systems, somatic mindfulness, attachment theory, existential perspectives, and person-centered care. I invite art and creativity into the room, whether that’s sketching, music-making, movement, or even humor. Any mode of expression can help us reclaim our joy.

With an awareness of the unique impacts of trauma, I place consent, pacing, and empowerment at the heart of every session. You’ll always have agency in what we explore and how we do it. Therapy is a place that creates a genuine human-to-human relationship. I’ll share observations, ask thoughtful questions and be real about my own perspective.

I believe healing isn’t only about lessening the weight of the past, it’s also about rediscovering lightness, laughter, and connection. My approach holds space for both: the heaviness that needs care and the joy that makes life worth living.

I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Antioch University, where I also completed a certificate in Trauma Counseling. I trained in Antioch’s counseling center, at Hope Development Practice, and at Cornish College of the Arts supporting students. Before coming back to Hope Development Practice fulltime, I worked in a group practice that focused on complex trauma and dissociation. I am able to work with residents in both Washington state and Colorado. My Washington State LMHCA Credential Number is MHCA.MC.61540903 and my Colorado LPCC credential number is LPCC.0024054.
