*Accepting new clients

— As a mental health therapist, my approach to empowering clients in holistic living is both an art and a science. I strive to create a brave space for teens, emerging adults, and individuals in adulthood that is rooted in acceptance, authenticity, and empathy. I am deeply passionate about raising mental health awareness and feel honored to walk alongside each client, supporting them through life's challenges, celebrating their victories, and fostering personal growth.

I appreciate each person's unique qualities and adopt a multicultural and trauma-informed perspective in my practice. Sessions may include learning DBT skills for managing emotions, demystifying disordered eating behaviors, identifying core beliefs of our internal dialogues, or recognizing thought patterns that can leave us feeling alone or stuck in a spiral. A session with a teen client can involve listening to music to help articulate and understand emotions. We also might create a timeline to reflect on their lifetime journey and determine how they desire to author their own inspiring stories moving forward.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Capella University and a Master’s in Counseling from Gonzaga University. Go Zags! I am also a National Certified Counselor. I have over a decade of experience working with adolescents in alternative school settings. Additionally, I have years of experience with intensive eating disorder recovery and supporting clients in a therapeutic setting. I take on this role with great responsibility and humility, as I have the privilege to speak light and life into each individual that I interact with daily.
