I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Washington, with experience supporting individuals in both crisis and longer-term therapeutic work. My background includes working with people navigating intense emotional states, trauma, and uncertainty, which has shaped a calm, grounded presence. I work from a lens that honors identity in all its forms, and I welcome clients exploring life transitions, healing from trauma, sexuality, and nontraditional relationships.
My approach is collaborative, direct, and relational. I draw from evidence-based practices while staying flexible and attuned, helping you understand patterns in your thoughts and behaviors, build on your strengths, and develop a more compassionate relationship with the different parts of yourself. Together, we slow things down, make sense of what’s underneath the surface, and move toward something more aligned, intentional, and fully your own.
Our first session will focus on rapport building while we begin to explore your history, concerns, goals, and begin to develop a framework for moving forward. From the beginning I encourage my clients to check in with themselves through each stage of the therapeutic process regarding the fit, and to seek another professional, rather than quit therapy, if it doesn't feel effective.
