Seeking therapy and sharing your vulnerabilities can feel daunting, so let me introduce myself a bit. I love spending time outdoors, often visiting the beach or mountains with my kids and three dogs. I’m passionate about knitting and enjoy reading, traveling, and learning about different cultures. During the pandemic, I discovered a love for houseplants, and working with soil helps me relax and feel grounded.

 

I am an honorably discharged Army veteran with a BA from the University of Washington (2013), an MA in Counseling Psychology (2016), and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the Michigan School of Psychology (2021). My dissertation focused on Army veterans and the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide. I completed a pre-doctoral internship at the University of Arkansas CAPS (2021) and a post-doctoral fellowship at Peterson Counseling Center, Ringling College of Art & Design (2022) before starting my private practice in 2023.

My Approach

I believe in clients' capacity for growth and approach therapy with openness and curiosity. Using Person-Centered and trauma-informed theories, I help clients process trauma, build resilience, and achieve emotional growth. I offer a supportive, safe space for self-actualization and work collaboratively to enhance awareness and overcome barriers to their goals.

 

My Values

I create a safe, empowering space that respects cultural and systemic factors, acknowledging each client’s unique intersectionality. My goal is to offer a nonjudgmental environment where you can explore self-discovery, healing, and fulfillment.
