Great to meet you!

I have over 8 years of experience in the mental health field. I began my career as a peer counselor working with parents. I have always known counseling was my calling and began my education at Saint Martin's University in Lacey Washington for my Master of Arts in Counseling in 2018. As an intern and associate I worked with teens and their family's at Community Youth Services. I now work with all ages at Providence and see teens and adults through my private practice. I have been trained in EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) both of which are evidence based treatments for trauma.

My approach to therapy

I believe that connection is the foundation of healing. When we feel seen, supported, and understood, we can begin to uncover our strengths, process our pain, and move toward lasting growth. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where clients feel empowered to explore their experiences and build meaningful change in their lives.

What you can expect from me

In our first session together we will explore what has brought you into counseling, how it is impacting your life, and what you hope to accomplish in our time together.
