Welcome! I believe therapy is a collaborative space for warm acceptance of who you are now while working toward your desired growth and healing. My work happens on multiple levels, including symptom management and relief, skill-building, cognitive and behavioral relearning, and trauma healing and processing.

In addition to my private practice, I teach as an adjunct faculty member in the Social Work department at Seattle University and serve as a clinical supervisor at MEND Seattle, an organization committed to an anti-oppressive and liberatory approach to therapy. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Washington and have many years of experience in direct clinical practice, medical social work, and community mental health.

I approach therapy through multiple lenses:

Person Centered Approach — I see you with unconditional positive regard, recognizing you as the expert and authority on your life and healing. This also means I show up as my genuine self in our sessions. 

Systems Theory Approach – I understand your mental health as interconnected with your environment—shaped by politics, identities, relationships, work, the city you live in, and more.

Intersectional Approach – I care deeply about how systems of power related to identity, society, and culture affect you, me, and our dynamic. I work toward supporting your sense of self-empowerment and helping you recognize yourself as your own healer.
