I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist (2009-present, 2025) who specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I work with adults with anxiety and depression. I often work with patients in areas such as relationships, parenting, communication, boundaries, assertiveness, and self-care. I received my PhD from Seattle Pacific University and have been in private practice for 15+ years.
I take a bio-psycho-social approach which means that I look at family dynamics, environments, and culture and how that relates to the individual. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy the most in my work. This means that I typically work with people on their thoughts and behavior. When we can, we will often talk about meaningfulness, purpose, and mindfulness.
I want therapy to be supportive, educational, and meaningful. I hope to help patients feel heard and to help them organize their thoughts. I provide therapy that feels warm and work to help patients reduce their symptoms (lower depression, lower anxiety). We often work on areas that include relationships, parenting, communication, and self-care.
