MEd, LMHCA, ESA Mental Health Counselor
Professional Background
I have 10+ years experience supporting adolescents and young adults in both educational and counseling settings. In addition to my clinical work, I bring experience coaching athletics at the middle school and collegiate levels, which has given me valuable insight into motivation, sports anxiety, resilience, and growth. I hold a Master’s Degree in Education in School Counseling from Seattle Pacific University (SPU) and a Washington State Mental Health Counselor Associate License (LMHCA).

Philosophy
I believe that all clients already have innate strengths and deserve to have a community that upholds them when it’s too much to cope with alone. This means I will walk alongside you and seek to create a space where you feel heard, seen, and can build on your strengths to reach your goals. I bring an energy and creativity to counseling that makes it fun, engaging, and challenging!
Therapeutic Approach
Person-centered therapy is at the heart of my work. Rooted in research, this approach emphasizes compassion, authenticity, and a judgment-free space where meaningful therapeutic relationships can thrive. Alongside a person-centered foundation, I integrate principles of Intersectionality, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to support holistic, flexible, and effective care.
