About
Hello and Welcome!
As a Washington State Licensed Mental Health Counselor LH61566889, I employ an approach to counseling that emphasizes the whole person. Utilizing a trauma-informed approach conjoined with liberation perspectives, we explore the depths of experience to develop a sense of coherency and empowerment. Through the use of various therapeutic methods, from emotional exploration to critical analysis, I accompany clients on their journey of self discovery and transformation.
I obtained my Bachelor's of Arts in Psychology, and then went on to receive a Master's of Science in Neuroscience, completing my Master's of Education in Counseling and Personnel Services in 2022. My approach utilizes evidence-based interventions and is informed by science and intuition. I believe that understanding our biology and bodies helps us to understand our humanity, and that in order to truly know ourselves we must learn how to discern and trust our own inner guides.
My framework is influenced by pluralistic spirituality, anti-oppression, and the celebration of diversity, emphasizing the creative process of being a human self. I collaborate with clients in identifying where they would like to go and support them in creating a plan and taking the steps to get there. Utilizing a holistic and relational approach, we work together to explore one’s selfhood in order to build ways of being that empower and liberate a person in their unique authenticity.
Through our work together, I hope you will feel deeply engaged in your life and a sense of belonging in this world. I work with folks age 13 and up; whether you are experiencing the repercussions of trauma, navigating identity, needing assistance with balancing mood and resolving anxieties, or establishing a sense of meaning in life, it would be a privilege to serve as a resource and companion on your journey.
We all possess the ability to create lives that are meaningful and authentic. We all belong because we exist.

My Values
Equality & Diversity
This therapeutic space honors and values all identities and cultural experiences, recognizing the impact of systemic oppression. I acknowledge that I occupy ancestral lands and waters of indigenous peoples, and work in service of social justice and the dignity of all beings.
Autonomy & Connection
All people have a right to self-determination. YOU are the expert of yourself and thus personal agency and choice are at the center of this therapeutic process. Additionally, I believe we heal communally, therefore the relationship we build serves as the foundation of our work together.
Love & Acceptance
You are welcome, loved, and accepted for exactly who you are, wherever you may be in your journey. I am here to walk alongside you as you explore your depths and discover what wholeness means for you.
