I work with adolescents, and adults. It is my belief that therapy is a collaborative, vulnerable, and sometimes uncomfortable process that requires a genuine connection and compassion. When it is appropriate, I like to bring levity, humor, and creative, evidence-based interventions to the therapeutic space. It is my goal to work alongside my clients to better understand their challenges, needs, and areas for growth. I work from a strengths-based perspective and anti-oppression lens, believing that clients are the experts in their own lives and that everyone has inherent strengths regardless of maladaptive behaviors they have developed. I draw from various clinical modalities, including trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and play therapy.

I completed my masters degree at the University of Washington School of Social Work. Throughout my career, I’ve worked in a variety of settings, including in the client’s home, at a residential facility for homeless youth, and in both intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization programs. I am a cisgender, queer woman and am passionate about working with the LGBTQ+ community.

In addition to providing talk therapy, I am a community educator with a background in sexual health and creating LGBTQ+ affirming spaces for youth.
