About Me

I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, and after some traveling, I realized there is no place I would rather be. I have always been an intuitive and introspective person, even as a child, making the mental health profession a natural fit. I strongly believe that the environment we live in and the people around us are very important contributors to our mental health and can be strong assets in moving toward balance and wellness. I have an undergraduate degree in psychology and a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy. My pronouns are she/her/hers.

About my practice

I work with patients in the primary care setting, focusing on brief interventions and eliciting behavior change for any condition affecting their health and well-being. I have advanced training in acceptance commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, collaborative problem-solving, and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy. I have extensive experience working with children, teens, and parents.

  • Population specialties: all ages, children, and adolescents
  • Language capacity: English
  • Areas of focus: In addition to interventions for a range of mental health conditions including depression and anxiety, I have experience providing assessment, intervention, and brief treatment for emotional, physical, and substance-use related concerns; parenting; navigating developmental stages; grief and loss; and relationships and communication.

How I thrive

I enjoy getting out into nature — walking, hiking, and exploring the beauty around me. I love spending time with my daughter, friends, family, and dog. I enjoy planning events and bringing people together over shared interests.
