I’m a counseling student at City University of Seattle with over 8 years of experience working in the behavioral health field. For the past 6 years, my focus has been on supporting clients navigating grief and working with neurodiverse individuals.

Using mindfulness and body-based awareness, I seek to assist clients within a compassionate and nonjudgmental space. By allowing for new experiences of safety, connection, and self-acceptance to emerge, we will work together to support meaningful and lasting change.

By bringing unconscious material into awareness at a self-directed pace, clients can begin to shift the patterns that keep them feeling stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed. Whether someone is navigating grief, working through trauma, or seeking a deeper connection with themselves and others, it is my job to assist them in uncovering the beliefs, emotions, and protective patterns that may be limiting their ability to fully engage with life.

Outside of the therapy room, I share my life with two wonderful dogs, one of whom is currently in training to become a certified therapy animal. In the future, I’m excited to incorporate animal-assisted support into sessions as an additional layer of comfort and connection for clients.
