I believe that healing is a process, and with the right support, meaningful change is possible. My approach to counseling is compassionate, non-judgmental, and client-centered. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where individuals feel heard, understood, and accepted while exploring the challenges that may be affecting their lives.
I have approximately 13 years of professional experience as a clinical social worker, working with adults, adolescents, couples, and families in a variety of settings, including family courts, schools, and nonprofit organizations. Throughout my career, I have supported individuals from diverse backgrounds and have extensive experience in crisis intervention and helping clients navigate difficult and complex circumstances.
My areas of focus include depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, domestic violence, trauma, life transitions, addiction, eating disorders, mood disorders, personality disorders, and grief. I recognize that every person’s experiences and needs are unique, and I tailor treatment to each client rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
My therapeutic approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Strength-Based Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Play Therapy. I integrate these approaches based on each client’s goals, strengths, and individual needs.
Whether you are experiencing a difficult life transition, struggling with relationships, coping with emotional distress, or simply feeling stuck, you do not have to navigate it alone. My goal is to walk alongside you with empathy, guidance, and acceptance as you work toward greater understanding, resilience, and meaningful change.

I received my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Master’s in Psychology from the American Military University. My experience includes working with the University of Washington in Early Childhood Education, along with having worked in various school districts providing support to families and children as a Family Advocate. I have also worked as a crisis response behavioral health clinician with at risk youth and families through Wraparound with Intensive Services (WISe). I am experienced in working with families from diverse communities, and have focused on supporting the development of positive communication skills and family strengths. My goal is to support youth and families identify their individual strengths. By highlighting individual strengths, it will be possible for the youth and family to think about their goals in an encouraging, positive and realistic manner that fits best for their own lives and helps build them up. I focus on supporting families in learning skills to improve communication and expectation as it refers to their individual needs and growth since each family has their own needs and their own strengths. When working with clients I utilize approaches that are individualized for the individual needs. I believe each individual has the potential to achieve their goals so let’s create a safe space to explore, learn and grow as part of the journey to your own personal success.
