I hold a master’s degree from the University of Washington. My training at Seattle Children’s Hospital PEARL Clinic (Program for Enhancement of Attention, Regulation, and Learning) equipped me to support parents/caregivers in their parenting challenges. Additionally, I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I believe that each client’s story and experiences dictate their needs and I work collaboratively with my clients to meaningfully support them in their goals.

My approach to therapy is informed as much by my formal training as it is by perspectives gained in my roles as wife, mother, stepmother, daughter, and friend. Each role is deeply significant to me and brings immense value to my life. Many of the areas I focus on in my practice have come from firsthand experience.

The relationship between client and therapist is crucial to your emotional safety as the client and meaningful work with one another. I take seriously my responsibility to show up fully present and engage authentically with my clients. so they can do the same. I don’t believe that there is a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy and work hard to meet clients where they are to develop plans, offer tools, and explore solutions where appropriate together.
