“Therapy offers a space to deconstruct what we were taught through trauma, both about ourselves, and about others. It gives us a new blueprint for safe and secure relationships, and overtime, we can begin building a meaningful relationship with ourselves.”

I help people make sense of the relationships that leave them feeling disconnected, misunderstood, or stuck. I work best with people who are having the same arguments with their partner, struggling to communicate what they really feel, or nursing their wounds all alone. You may love someone deeply but have trouble feeling close to them, or find yourself wishing for deeper, more meaningful connections. In therapy, we’ll explore what’s happening beneath these patterns so you can better understand yourself and others, navigate difficult conversations, and build relationships that feel more secure, honest, and fulfilling.
My style is grounded, thoughtful, and relational. I believe therapy provides a place to pause, take a breath, and be genuinely seen without judgment. Through curiosity, deep listening, and attention to the ways past experiences shape present relationships and emotional responses, I’ll help you develop a stronger understanding of yourself and the patterns that influence your life.
I’ve held professional positions in healthcare, human resources, and customer service before becoming a counselor. Each role gave me a front-row seat to the many ways people adapt, connect, and cope during times of stress and change, experiences I draw on as a therapist today. A Pacific Northwest native, outside the office I can be found on a hiking trail or cheering on the Reign.
