My Story
From a young age, I was drawn to the helping professions. After discovering that my love for meaningful conversations far exceeded my talent for organic chemistry (despite two honest attempts), I found my way into psychology. This choice led me to explore the intersections of neuroscience and counseling, where science meets the art of human connection.
​
I work with clients to strengthen self-awareness, confidence, and connection, celebrating the small wins that build momentum toward lasting change. My approach is evidence-based and integrative, combining cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapies with person-centered and acceptance-commitment frameworks. In short, it’s a flexible toolbox designed to meet people where they are and help them grow.
​
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State with certifications in trauma-focused and advanced career counseling, and I’m also a Certified Transcultural Counselor through the International Association for Counseling (IAC). Right now, I’m completing a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision at Antioch University, a journey fueled by equal parts curiosity and caffeine.
