I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of experience working in mental health and healthcare settings, supporting adults navigating a wide range of emotional and behavioral health challenges. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Washington in 2010 and have experience treating both mental health and substance use disorders across diverse populations and levels of care.
I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, stress management difficulties, and major life transitions. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, and I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, and understood. I believe therapy should be tailored to each individual’s unique experiences and goals, helping clients build insight, resilience, and meaningful change in their lives.
Clients can expect a welcoming, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where they can openly share their concerns, experiences, and goals at their own pace. During the first session, we will spend time getting to know one another, discussing what brings you to therapy, reviewing relevant history, and identifying the challenges you would like support with.
Together, we will begin developing a personalized treatment plan focused on meaningful and achievable goals. I often use SMART goals to help clients create clear, realistic steps toward symptom improvement, healthier coping strategies, improved relationships, emotional regulation, and overall wellbeing. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based, and I work to ensure clients feel heard, empowered, and actively involved in their treatment process.
