Welcome
I am an independently licensed mental health counselor in the state of Washington, specializing in child, adolescent, and young adult populations between the ages of 6-24. My passion has always been working with children and adolescents, and I have over 25 years of experience working in a variety of settings, including many years in early childhood education, sexual assault advocacy and counseling, crisis response and work with military families, providing mental health therapy and social work outreach in community mental health settings, and as a private practice mental health therapist.
​
I continually strive to provide the safest, most inclusive space possible for all neurodivergent, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ individuals, their families, and my community. It is one of my core beliefs that as humans we should continually be growing and learning, and I bring this principle into my practice and into how I approach expanding my own knowledge, continually learning new techniques, and being open to the ever-changing challenges of being a young person or parent in the world today.
​
I genuinely love my job and look forward to seeing each and every person who walks through my door each day!
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”
-Maya Angelou
I believe strongly in interventions that are designed to empower each person to build a foundation of autonomy and coping skills based on their own inner strengths and unique capabilities. The ultimate goal is for you or your child to build a “toolbox” of skills that can be used for a lifetime. One of the best indicators of a positive counseling experience is in finding a good fit with your therapist, so I offer a free 30 minute consultation for each potential client so that you can explore my space and get to know me.
