I come to the therapy room with extensive training and experience. I have worked in both top rated healthcare organizations with adults and their families as well treatment centers for children and adolescents. I truly enjoy working with people throughout the lifespan. In addition, I have extensive background working with physicians and nurses navigating the myriad of stressors that come with working in healthcare. I have a unique understanding of what it means to work on the front lines - whether we are the leader during a crisis, the primary emotional support person in our family or the head of an organization.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist based in Seattle, WA. I specialize in evidence-based assessment and therapy for both children and adolescents. While I've spent much of my specialist practice at the intersection of ADHD and anxiety disorders, my generalist training has also prepared me to support those with sleep problems, depression, and adjustment issues across age groups. My evidence-based and culturally informed practice warmly welcomes individuals from underserved communities, including BIPOC, international students, and immigrants.

You are in a committed relationship but feeling so lonely and frustrated. You try to communicate your needs to your partner, but each time the two of you end up in a disagreement, leaving you feeling worse than before. You feel you are out of options for how to have these discussions differently. You are unsure how the two of you can reconnect and get your needs met. You yearn for your partner to respond to your needs in a way that feels loving and accepting instead of reactive. You would love to rekindle the love you once felt in your relationship and move from being roommates back to loving partners with a satisfying sex life.

Now Accepting New Clients! Do you describe yourself as a reluctant/recovering perfectionist, people pleaser, codependent, or a caretaker, the ‘mom’ of your friend group?

Welcome! I work primarily with women and folks on a parenting journey. You may be a new parent who experienced birth trauma and have the baby you always wanted but don't know how to move forward from pregnancy/ birth experience. You may be experiencing infertility or pregnancy complications. I have a passion for working with women who are navigating significant life transitions. If you're looking for a therapist to just say "mmm," I may not be the fit for you. Our work together will focus on engaging in self-discovery, enhancing insight to bodily cues, and building skills to help you move forward and reconnect with yourself again.

My ideal client is someone who is ready to engage in reclaiming their personal power. Therapy is just as much about unlearning, as it is learning. I enjoy working with folks who have a history of "people pleasing" and who have experienced emotional abuse. In particular I enjoy working with those who have experienced narcissistic abuse, and are looking to come back into contact with feeling grounded in their own reality again.

If you’re tired of recycling the same argument, walking on eggshells with each other or don’t know how to repair your relationship, I can help you get to the root of your disconnection. I help distressed, disconnected couples remember what it's like to be sexy best friends instead of roommates. Together, we will identify your entrenched ways of arguing so that both of you can break these patterns by learning how to clearly state how you’re feeling to your partner and in turn, listen deeply. I'll help you pay close attention to each other, so that you both feel a little more held each time we meet.

Folks I work with describe me as warm and nonjudgmental, yet assertive and highly engaged. Our work will be an active collaboration - while I will continuously strive to deeply understand your inner experience, I will also point out things in your behavior or thinking that you may not be aware of and offer potential explanations of your challenges as well as practical suggestions about achieving your goals. As you gain more understanding and compassion towards the anxious, depressed, angry, or hurting parts of yourself, you will feel increasingly more grounded and empowered to lead the life that you desire.

Are you struggling to make necessary changes during difficult times of your life? Are you a caregiver that is "running on empty" all the time? Are your health challenges making you feel like you are existing rather than living? Sometimes, these issues requires some guidance, introspection and support that an authentic, warm and professional therapy space can offer. As a licensed psychologist I would be honored to offer that space, one that feels safe to discuss what may be distressing you.
