I earned a BA in Psychology with hopes of pursuing graduate education and becoming a therapist. But life has a way of zigging when we plan to zag, and right out of undergrad I ended up venturing into the corporate world, working in administration and corporate marketing for high profile companies like Irvine Company, CBS, and Experian.
Along the way, I got married, had kids, got divorced, got remarried, and overcame deep personal battles with depression, substance use, codependence, anxiety, and grief. I leaned into the help of therapists, recovery programs, nature, spiritual leaders, and meditation to finally face the trauma of my childhood and completely transform my life.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington (LH61542705) and a registered Professional Counselor Associate in Oregon (R7916). I practice from a psychodynamic, attachment-based framework and utilize an eclectic range of interventions drawing from acceptance and commitment therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy, internal family systems, narrative therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
Our therapy sessions will be collaborative, insightful, and meaningful. My goal is to build a confidential trusting relationship with you and walk alongside you on your journey to emotional and mental wellbeing. |
