In my therapeutic work, I take a client-centered and collaborative approach, creating space for reflection, curiosity, and intentional growth. I draw from Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Narrative approaches to support clients in exploring their experiences and identifying what feels most meaningful moving forward. Together, we work to find balance between accepting the realities of life as they are and forging a path that feels more aligned and authentic. This often includes unpacking old storylines or roles that were once protective but are no longer serving you, making room for new ways of relating to yourself and others.
I earned my BA in Psychology from the University of San Diego, with minors in English and Philosophy. During my time there, I also worked as a summer camp supervisor for the YMCA and as a personal trainer at my campus gym. After graduating, I moved to Seattle to complete my Master’s in Couples and Family Therapy at Seattle University. While in my graduate program, I completed a yearlong internship at a group practice, where I gained hands-on experience working with children, families, couples, and individuals.
Outside of my work as a therapist, you can often find me hiking or camping in the woods with my dog, Dakota. I also enjoy line dancing, reading, painting, and spending time with friends and family.
If you’re considering therapy and feel drawn to this approach, I invite you to reach out. I’m happy to answer questions and explore whether working together feels supportive for you.
