Warm, Capable, and Direct Support
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Washington State specializing in treating mood and anxiety disorders. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Seattle University and a Master’s of Social Work from the University of Washington. My therapeutic approach is strengths-based, non-judgmental, supportive and direct. I work collaboratively with clients to create a space that is both validating and challenging—because I believe offering that balance is a deep sign of respect. Therapy is hard work, but for those who are ready to engage in the process, it can be incredibly transformative. I am here to guide, support and to be present with you through each step in the therapeutic process.
I have advanced training in Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy (ERP) for treating OCD and am a graduate of the International OCD Foundation’s Behavioral Therapy Training Institute. I am fully trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for treating PTSD. Additionally, I have extensive experience in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). When working with families, I integrate Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) techniques to strengthen connection and collaboration.
I work with individuals and families (ages 16+) across Washington State, offering both in-person and virtual sessions. I have experience working with clients across various levels of care—including Outpatient, Intensive Outpatient, Partial Hospitalization, and Residential settings—and am particularly passionate about working with those who are motivated to actively engage in their growth and healing.
Outside of work I enjoy hiking, backpacking, running, Pilates, reading, creating art, baking, going to coffee shops and spending time with loved ones (especially my adorable cat Stroodle).
