I started Seattle Counseling and Wellness in 2018 because I believed that good therapy should feel like a real relationship, not a transaction. That belief still drives everything we do here.

My own clinical work focuses on adults and couples. Anxiety and depression are at the heart of so much of what I work with, often intertwined with perfectionism, overachievement, control, and the particular exhaustion of holding yourself to an impossible standard. I work with people asking genuinely hard questions: Who am I? What do I actually want? Why do I keep doing the thing I keep doing? Those questions deserve real attention.

As a trauma therapist, I approach everything with an understanding of how your history has shaped you. That means we look at behaviors that might feel confusing or shameful with curiosity rather than judgment. Patterns that seem irrational usually make complete sense when you understand where they came from. I use EMDR and parts based work alongside CBT and mindfulness. For couples, I help partners understand each other more clearly and build more effective ways of relating. I also conduct ADHD evaluations for adults.

I earned my PsyD from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, with my internship at Northwestern University and postdoctoral fellowship at The Chicago School. I've been in private practice since 2010 and started SCAW in 2018. I'm a PSYPACT credentialed provider, which means I offer telepsychology to clients across participating states.

I also serve as Treasurer and a Board of Trustees member for the Washington State Psychological Association, where I focus on reducing insurance barriers for providers and the people they serve.

Outside of work, I'm a mom and a partner, and community and connection are at my center. I have two dogs who get me out on long walks and hikes more than I probably would on my own. I love crafting, knitting, reading, and traveling. I really love supporting my kids in developing their interests and exploring the world together.
