I came to this work from a lot of different directions. My undergrad degree was in English Literature, which might seem like an odd path to clinical social work, but it taught me that stories matter: the narratives we live inside shape how we see ourselves and the world around us. That lens shows up in everything I do with clients.

I work with adolescents and adults starting around age sixteen. Depression and anxiety show up in most of what I work with, alongside trauma, life transitions, ADHD, school and career stress, and the experience of navigating systems and environments that weren't designed with you in mind.

I identify as neurodivergent myself, and I bring that lived understanding to the work. I don't see neurodivergence as something to fix. I see it as one of many ways of being human, and I try to help clients understand and work with how their brain actually functions rather than fighting against it.

My practice is grounded in cultural sensitivity. I've worked with King County, medical clinics, hospitals, foster care systems, schools, and community health centers, and what all of that has shown me is that identity, background, and context can't be separated from mental health. They're the same thing. I draw from CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, Acceptance Based approaches, and Motivational Interviewing.

I graduated from Seattle University with my Master's in Clinical Social Work and hold a B.A. in English Literature from UW.

If you're looking for someone who will actually listen and help you figure out what you want your life to look like, I'd love to connect.
