I have over 15 years of experience working with children, teens, families, and adults. I work with those living with trauma, anxiety, depression, developmental differences, along with behavioral issues, family issues, and school-based concerns. As a military spouse and parent, I find importance in working with veterans’ and their families to increase connection and resilience. In treatment, I use a wide variety of strength-based, client centered treatment interventions including CBT, solution-focused therapy, EMDR & play therapy therapy. We will work together to identify the problem and create goals. Please email with any questions!

I began my career working at a residential facility working with adults, and eventually transitioned to specialize working with children/teens and their families, along with adults with trauma. I became trained in Trauma Focused-CBT in 2017, and in 2019 became a developmental specialist in WA state, and in 2020 completed EMDR basic training.

It's my passion to help client’s build on their strengths and supports, along with enhancing skills to live a happy and fulfilled life. It is my goal to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered each time you enter the office. During sessions, you can expect laughter & kindness, acceptance & support, empathy & empowerment. Reach out with any questions!

I often use client-centered and solution-focused techniques to start. Then as we get to know each other, I will use a wide range of techniques to enhance skills you already have and also create new skills to help you make progress. We will work together to implement these new skills, and new ways of thinking and feeling into your everyday life.
