Who I am, and how I got here:

I have always been passionate about supporting children, teens, and families through life’s hardest moments. My path began with a Bachelor’s in Social Work from Saint Martin’s University in 2014, and a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Denver in 2016. Since then, I’ve focused my career on helping young people and their families feel seen, understood, and equipped to face challenges like anxiety, depression, school stress, and trauma.

Who I help:

I work with children as young as 3, adolescents, and adults navigating family or relationship challenges. I also enjoy supporting parents who want to better understand their child’s needs and strengthen boundaries at home. I am especially committed to affirming LGBTQ+ youth and helping them and their families navigate identity, relationships, and mental health with compassion.

How I help:

Therapy with me is supportive, and collaborative. I use evidence-based practices like CBT, TF-CBT, DBT, and Solution Focused Therapy to help clients build coping strategies, improve communication, and move toward their goals. My sessions are always tailored to meet the developmental stage and unique needs of each client, whether that’s helping a child regulate big emotions, supporting a teen through social pressures, or guiding a family through conflict.

Off the clock:

Outside the office I can be found rooting for the Seattle Mariners or my favorite Formula One team (Papaya Rules!), curled up with a book, at the dog park with my dog, or watching anime or a medical drama with my fiancé.
