About

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the community of West Seattle. It is my honor and calling to help clients in their teens & twenties reach their full potential and recognize their unique strengths. I believe that while people are doing their best, with my help they can experience greater joy as we work together to relieve suffering. With the right therapeutic interventions, it is possible to flourish and create a life worth living. It is my passion to work with adolescents dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidality, chronic illness and self-esteem. I also work with athletes of all ages.

I truly consider it an honor to sit with my clients. The therapeutic relationship is a critical element of the changes that will take place. I utilize EMDR, DBT, CBT, mindfulness, PolyVagal Nerve Theory among other techniques to meet an client where they are and help them flourish.

Mental blocks vary in nature but can hamper an athlete's performance and keep them from reaching their goals. I am successful at helping clients overcome these by identifying and changing negative thinking, learning relaxation skills and positive self‐talk to to overcome anxiety and to believe in themselves once they have learned the necessary tools.
