About

I work with individuals and couples and specialize in areas such as; depression, anxiety, trauma, career stress, parenting, communication, relational trust and intimacy. My style is warm, compassionate, engaged, and collaborative. My therapeutic approach is integrative but rooted in a relational model. I am a level one PACT trained couples therapist. I also pull from theories of attachment, narrative, and feminist models. In my work I help clients explore and process experiences and patterns that may be holding them back. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space to help clients move towards increased levels of clarity and consciousness and to move towards greater levels of joy, authenticity, and overall wellbeing.

Raised in the Northwest, I have a background in visual art and music, and have worked in various high paced professional work environments. Working in a wide variety of professional and creative settings has given me a deepened understanding of many of life’s demands and challenges. 

I obtained an MA in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Antioch University, and trained at Counseling West counseling center. My approach is mindful and culturally sensitive and I am  LGBTQ+ affirmative.   I look forward to working with you as you embark on this healing journey.
