I operate from an integrated approach to therapy. Science has taught us that our genes (epigenetics) are impacted as far back as our grandmother's womb. Our early attachment experiences, genetics, identities, and environment shape our belief systems and how we have learned to navigate our world. This can impact our self-talk, our core beliefs about ourselves, and our worldview and beliefs about the nature of human suffering. I see therapy as an exploration of who you are and connecting with yourself compassionately to honor your story while recognizing that you are more than your story. You are an ever-evolving being. I specialize in working with children, adults, and families on a variety of issues, including emotional regulation, anxiety-related disorders, complex trauma, attachment, neurodivergence, life transitions, and chronic pain and illness. I have worked in crisis services, residential treatment, and school-based mental health and have extensive experience working with the LGBTQIA+ community and supporting those seeking gender-affirming care. My approach to therapy combines a strong Eastern philosophical approach with empirically supported treatments, including mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, narrative therapy, somatic experiencing, cognitive behavioral therapy, DBT skills, and Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT). I am pursuing my PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision at Saybrook University. In my free time I am an avid DIYer and have two sister cats, Calliope and Juno, who are connoisseurs of the cuddle puddle.

My area of expertise lies in Narrative Therapy, which underscores the significance of the narratives we construct and their potential to either hinder or empower our lives. Narrative Therapy forms the cornerstone of my therapeutic understanding. My objective is to facilitate clients in reclaiming control over their narratives, thereby enabling them to lead healthier, more fulfilling, and productive lives. In addition to Narrative Therapy, I incorporate methodologies from Sexual Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Gestalt Therapy, Internal Family Systems, mindfulness-based techniques, and trauma-informed practices. I am committed to promoting social and cultural justice, principles that are foundational to my professional practice. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Washington State University. Subsequently, I completed a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Regis University in Denver, concentrating on mental health crisis intervention. I am in the process of completing a Doctorate in Counseling Education and Supervision from Saybrook University. Outside of my professional practice, I regularly engage in outdoor activities. As a native of Washington State, I possess a profound appreciation for the Pacific Northwest and enjoy pursuits such as hiking and camping. Furthermore, I actively participate in the nerd community, finding enjoyment in tabletop and role-playing games. I take pride in being a dog owner to Meadh, a nine-year-old Rottweiler, and Callisto, a two-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog.
