I graduated from Drury University with a Bachelor of Arts in Advertising and Public Relations, as well as a minor in Psychology. I attained my Master of Counseling from Oregon State University, and I am currently licensed to practice Clinical Mental Health Counseling in the state of Washington.

My experience as an LMHC has been shaped by working with a wide range of people, each with their own unique challenges. Supporting individuals and families through trauma—whether it's abuse, homicide, or the struggles of adjustment—has given me a deep understanding of the healing process and the resilience needed to recover. 

I bring both personal and professional experience working with immigrants as they navigate the emotional and relational challenges of adjusting to a new culture. I also have professional experience supporting individuals who have been impacted by the justice system, which informs my understanding of stress, uncertainty, and the need for safety and trust during difficult life experiences.

My approach is trauma-informed and influenced by Internal Family Systems (IFS), allowing space to explore experiences with curiosity, compassion, and respect for each person’s internal world. I enjoy working with individuals and couples who are seeking insight, connection, and meaningful change at their own pace.
