I am a therapist and an endlessly curious soul. I journey with people compelled to understand themselves and the world around them with more clarity, even when it breaks their heart.

I specialize in challenging the status quo, disentangling the complicated, and aiding people in unveiling what kind of life they actually would love living, rather than just living the life they thought they should love. I’m committed to helping you discover your own depth which both calls and repels you. 

I am fully certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and pair with this other somatic modalities such as Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapies (MBCT), Trauma Informed Reiki, Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC), and am a MDMA Assisted Therapy Trainee with MAPS.  

In our work together we often find the space for your healing. We invite gratitude and grief which leads to a change within your heart, mind, body and spirit. There’s no other word for what this change feels like. It’s completely and totally life altering, in the most ordinary way. None of this is drastic, but you can taste the difference. It’s been my experience, that the ending is often only the beginning in this wild adventure of knowing yourself.

As a therapist, my primary goal is to meet you exactly where you are, embracing the fullness of your unique experiences and identities. I am certified in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), which equips me to integrate mindfulness techniques into our work together, helping you manage stress and enhance self-awareness. My approach is rooted in identity consciousness and trauma-informed care, ensuring that every aspect of your experience is honored and understood in the therapeutic process. I hold a certification in Sexual and Gender Minority Mental Health, which empowers me to offer specialized support to LGBTQ+, gender-expansive, and polyamorous individuals. This training allows me to understand and address the unique challenges faced by these communities with sensitivity and expertise.

I believe in a holistic approach to healing that nurtures the integration of mind, body, and spirit. Recognizing that healing is a non-linear journey, I am dedicated to walking alongside you with compassion and empathy, embracing the natural ebbs and flows of personal growth.

In our collaborative work, we will explore the complexities of your personal narrative, fostering a therapeutic relationship that supports your individuality and desired changes. My aim is to empower you to harness your inner strengths and resilience, providing a supportive partnership dedicated to your holistic well-being and personal evolution. Together, we will navigate your journey with understanding and respect, working towards a fulfilling and balanced life.

I am a counseling intern with a passion for connecting with people and walking alongside them on their journeys to wellness. When I sit with clients, my hope is to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported. 

In our time together, we will focus on uncovering the tools and strengths within you to foster healing and growth. My approach is grounded in Person-Centered, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Narrative techniques, which allow us to navigate life's complexities while honoring your unique experiences. I believe in nurturing the whole person-mind, body, and spirit-to help you discover a deeper sense of balance and connection in your life. 

As a Clinical Mental Health Counseling student at Gonzaga University, I am constantly growing both personally and professionally. I strive to create an inclusive, judgment-free environment where individuals feel supported and heard. What drives me most is the opportunity to build authentic relationships with each client, embracing their individuality and supporting their path to healing.
