Couples therapy is my specialty. I work with dating, premarital, and long-term partners facing conflict, betrayal, emotional distance, or uncertainty about their future.
As a Clinical Fellow of the AAMFT with advanced training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I provide structured, evidence-based care.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process where narratives can be explored and embodied, and placed within a cultural context to support healing, growth, and liberation. I have experience working with adults experiencing depression, trauma, anxiety, complex racial and ethnic identity work, grief, separation & loss, and life transitions. My therapeutic approach is client-centered and informed by an integrative orientation based upon my training background in intersectional feminist therapy, existential therapy, and relational cultural theory.

Many people carry experiences from the past that quietly shape how they feel, think, and respond today. You might notice yourself feeling stuck, overwhelmed by worry, or reacting in ways that don’t fully make sense. In therapy, we’ll gently explore the roots of these patterns with curiosity and compassion. Trauma therapy recognizes that the past can show up in the present, as memories are connected within the mind and body. Together, we can begin to loosen the hold these experiences have had and create space for greater ease, clarity, and self-trust.

Life can often feel like a balancing act. Work, school, relationships and daily tasks are already a lot to hold. Trauma, disconnection, and existing within various systems of oppression and violence can make that balancing act feel constantly on the verge of toppling over. What we carry and how we carry all of these pieces shapes how we show up in our daily lives, and sometimes all of these factors can end up feeling like way too much. Maybe you're feeling burnt out, chronically stressed, or isolated. My goal is to work together to discover ways that we can make life feel a little bit lighter.

Hello! Thank you for considering me as a potential partner in your therapeutic journey. I've had the privilege of working with diverse clients of all ages since 2015 and specifically in a theraputic setting following my graduation from the University of Washington in 2021. Throughout my career, I've pursued ongoing education and training in various therapeutic modalities, including CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, and Crisis and Suicide Intervention. I believe in the importance of tailoring interventions to meet each client's unique needs, recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy.

I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience supporting adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Many come to therapy carrying intense emotions, stress, or the weight of difficult life experiences. I also specialize in supporting those navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and major life transitions—times when life can feel especially challenging and change feels both exciting and overwhelming. People also come seeking support with relationship struggles, self-esteem, and finding more balance in their lives.

Relationships are at the core of almost everything we do - building romance, sharing quality time with friends, creating a professional network among colleagues, enjoying our family, supporting our community, and most importantly is the relationship with ourselves. Sometimes these relationships come easily and are fulfilling, while at other times they can make our life more challenging and stressful. Whether you're looking for help with one of these relationships specifically, or simply need a hand during a difficult time, I am here to support you.

Relationships are the heartbeat of our lives, but when patterns of disconnection take hold, the distance between you and your partner can feel insurmountable.

It takes immense courage to seek a place where you can finally unburden yourself and break the cycles that keep you stuck. You are likely searching for the safety needed to bridge that gap and find your way back to meaningful connection and healing.

Approaching your symptoms from a systems mindset, allows for the exploration of underlying causes. Our bodies often hold stories our minds are not yet ready to express.

I am dedicated to working with people who feel lost mentally, emotionally, or spiritually. When someone loses their clarity, they lose sight of the goals, dreams, and interests that once enlivened them. I would love to help you regain your sense of purpose and passion for life. One method that I use for this is to help reconnect to the child within. I am also grateful when I get to work with people who are interested in exploring the wisdom of their dream world.
