As a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, my approach to therapy centers on collaboration. Together, we will identify your desired goals and work to achieve meaningful change, all while maintaining a supportive and non-judgmental environment. What changes are you ready to make happen in your life now?
Whether you are facing challenges related to depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, relationship dynamics, or life transitions, I am here to support you in overcoming obstacles and reclaim a sense of empowerment and balance. My journey into this field stems from a desire to partner with others in enhancing their self-awareness, strengthening their capacities, and building the lives they truly desire. Currently, I am seeing adults, adolescents, and couples.
In my practice, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness techniques, and other therapeutic practices. The influence of the body's nervous system on mental health is sometimes overlooked, which is why I believe integrating both the mind–thoughts and emotions–AND the body into therapy can be so valuable. I have a diverse background in working across various settings, including primary and secondary schools, addiction services, and outpatient mental health therapy services. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work and am licensed in Washington State.
Outside of therapy, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, drawing, and being outside!
I understand that starting therapy can feel scary, and I honor the courage it takes to take that first step. Whether in-person at our Bothell office or remotely in Washington, I offer a welcoming and secure space to explore your journey toward healing. Evening appointments are available for your convenience.
