I have over 18 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!
Over the past 18 years, I have worked in many settings, where I have developed specializations in working with kids, teens, adults who have experienced 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. In 2026, I also became an approved TX supervisor.
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!
