I am a Seattle-based psychotherapist and received my Master’s Degree in Psychology from Seattle University. I completed my clinical internship at Navos, a large community mental health facility in Burien, WA, where I worked with underserved and vulnerable populations. In addition to sitting with individual clients, I co-facilitated an art therapy group for chronic pain and conditions and an interpersonal process group for grief and loss. I graduated from SU in June 2025 and currently practice as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate.

My training is rooted in humanistic principles of psychology that focus on the person as a whole - mind, body, spirit, environment, life circumstances, and personal history. My approach empowers clients to invest in their personal values, build self-awareness, and make their own meaning in life based on inherent personal wisdom.

I am interested in life’s big questions, and do not shy away from difficult topics. I feel passionately about connecting with my clients around their personal challenges, philosophical musings, and deep emotions. I welcome you to be wholly yourself with me in therapy. My process non-judgmental and affirming, with gentle observations and invitations to be curious and experiment within the safety of the therapeutic relationship. We will co-create what’s right for you.

I have a unique history of working in academic medicine at teaching hospitals in Texas.  I have a Master’s degree in Health Informatics from the University of North Texas, which is a specialty within Information Science. My experience working with doctors, nurses, medical students, and everyday people facing health challenges was invaluable to my understanding of the healthcare world. I feel a great deal of interest in and care for folks who are impacted by the healthcare system professionally, personally, or both.

In my personal life, I am a lifelong learner and avid reader. I enjoy studying languages, fiber arts, and swimming. I love animals and the natural world. I live in Seattle with my husband and our two tabby cats.
