When we allow ourselves to be transformed by our life’s experiences, they have valuable lessons to teach us; nothing is wasted. By leaning into our challenges, we can emerge more resilient, compassionate, and able to live a life of gratitude for all that shaped us into who we are. I take a non-judgmental holistic view honoring each person’s unique mind, body, relational, & spiritual identities. I have a sense of cultural humility and a deep appreciation for diversity. I empathetically collaborate with my clients throughout their journey, meeting them in their unique circumstances. I value authenticity, acceptance, & social justice.

My clients want change and growth in their lives and/or their relationships, but they often don't know where to start. Or, they might have made the enormous first steps of moving towards change and growth only to feel stuck and unsure of how to move forward. My clients find that within the experience of being truly heard, accepted, validated, and supported, that the door between where they are and the change they want begins to unlock and slowly open. My approach focuses on unlocking and discovering the strengths that we don't always realize we have, on building new coping skills, and on creating new understanding and connections.

I have lived in Washington State for over 25 years and am passionate about working with adolescents and adults of all religions, races, genders, and identities through multiculturally competent, socially aware, and integrative therapies. As a therapist I work to build a unique therapeutic relationship with each of my clients in which they can safely and confidently identify, sort, and explore the thoughts and feelings that have been buried or building up inside. I aim to provide individuals with a calm place of respite from the noise of everyday life. A place that is free of judgement, opinion, competition, or comparison.

Welcome! Benjamin Franklin said there were only two things certain in life: death and taxes. I would add a third certainty: change. Change is difficult for most people; even positive change can stir up anxious feelings in us. But change can also be freeing, exhilarating and something to be embraced. I hope to help you on your change journey. I work with adults (age 18 and up) on all types of life stage challenges and transitions and the mental health difficulties those changes often bring.

I thrive when working with clients who are exploring gender identity, neurodivergence, and/or relationship issues. My aim is to create an open, non-judgmental and collaborative space where we can process what's going on in your life. You may be dealing with past trauma, expectations of society, your family, culture, or a religious upbringing. I believe it is imperative to have a space where you can be heard and validated as your authentic self. I utilize a social justice framework that reflects on how systems of oppression impact us. How can we cope while these systems are activating our nervous systems and dimming our spirit?

I enjoy working with clients who want to explore their life experiences. Stepping into therapy is an acknowledgement that something isn't adding up to what you want it to be, and my passion is helping you on your journey to become who you want to be. I work with individuals aged 10 and up on issues such as depression, anxiety, neurodiversity, ADHD, autism, relationship struggles, family conflict, school struggles, existential issues, or adjustment problems. Ultimately, whatever your goal is in therapy is my goal as well. There is nothing more fulfilling to me than seeing you meet your goals and growing towards who you want to be.
