I firmly believe that every individual has what it takes to overcome stumbling blocks, and to create for yourself a life you are proud to live.  My job as a therapist is to help you identify your unique characteristics, and ways they can be built upon to create your new path.  I am an expert in my field, and you are an expert in your own life.  Together, our teamwork can provide a safe place for you to get to know yourself better, and to create plans of action for letting yourself shine in your environment.  I value the process of building a positive support network, and using resources available to you to enhance your natural talents and skills.  I will be active in helping you shape your plan for maintaining and continuing to grow your achievements even after our partnership comes to a close.  Our goal in working together is setting the stage for your long-term personal flourishing.

I have always had a passion for connecting with other humans, and working together in creativity, enthusiasm and strengths-based thinking.  My goal is to support figuring out what's working well, and identifying ways to build upon that to accomplish hopes and goals you bring to our space.

A little about me: following my undergrad, I had the privilege of working as a family-based caseworker while completing the next step in my education.  I began work as a mental health counseling intern in 2017.  Throughout my internship and after graduating with my master's degree in 2018, I have enjoyed opportunities to host both in-office and community-based services.  These experiences taught me the value of incorporating input and support from those who have a meaningful impact on your life into the therapeutic process.  I know that the creativity and innovation we bring into our partnership will allow us to continue building positive change with those who are most important to you, including family, friends, teachers, school counselors and other prominent individuals who have a positive influence in your life!

I spent many years splitting my time between two wonderful venues: school-based services through community mental health where I enjoyed teaming with children, adolescents and their families, and teleservices through private practice.  Today, I continue serving the state of Washington through telehealth, working with those who are interested in therapy from their home.  I cherish the work I get to do with such diverse age groups and populations, and appreciate each unique individual and family that I meet.
