As Individuals, We can take small steps every single day to support a path toward a better self…a better life.

It's natural to feel hesitant or unsure about seeking therapy, but taking that first step can be the most important one of all.

My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings. I can help you navigate through life's challenges, manage stress, improve relationships, and work toward personal growth.

Having earned a BA in psychology from The University of Washington with a Master’s of Social Work from San Diego State University, my passion has always been to help others. My authentic and sincere approach to mental health has been reinforced time and again throughout my professional work with children and adults over the past twenty years.

My extensive experience in K-12 schools, on college campuses and in private practice, has developed my skills at assisting clients with finding their unique avenue toward improved mental health. Together, we work on identifying repetitive patterns and behaviors that can lead to their continued dissatisfaction. Collaborating on how best to alter or replace these patterns is incredibly gratifying to me as a practitioner. The level of personal satisfaction my clients achieve is of course the ultimate reward.

I have considerable experience working through challenges of anxiety, depression, and family relational struggles among teens and young adults.

In addition to my BA in Psychology and Masters of Social Work, I hold a PPS credential and became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in 2005.
