I am a licensed mental health counselor associate. I graduated with my master’s in clinical mental health counseling from Gonzaga University. I provide a warm, accepting space for people to explore what matters to them and what’s getting in their way. I help clients learn to feel more comfortable with their emotions, to experiment with different ways of relating to their thoughts and feelings, to cultivate resilience, and to develop the self-trust and self-compassion that will support them along their paths. I have a particular interest in working with young adults, people navigating times of transition or loss, and people struggling to find purpose and meaning in their lives. I welcome anyone who feels I may be a good fit. I use an integrative approach, drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions. My practice is grounded in social justice principles and I am engaged in ongoing work to ensure I provide competent, affirming care to all of my clients. In my free time, I like cooking, gardening, nature walks, meditating, reading, photography, traveling and spending quality time with family and friends.
