My approach helps you build a growing capacity to navigate both internal and external challenges in a healthy, sustainable way. With over a decade of experience working with individuals and couples, I bring seasoned therapeutic insight to our work together. At the heart of our work together in therapy is a genuine human connection. I show up as myself with curiosity, candor, and humor.
Seattle University is where I chose to complete my Master of Arts in Psychology. Grounded in humanistic theory, our program prepared me through engagement in practice, research and reflection from across the fields of clinical psychology, philosophy, and the humanities.
Preceding graduate studies, I gained my footing at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas with a Bachelor of Science in Human Services Counseling with a minor in Psychology. Intensely curious about the human condition, I seek to reach my clients in a way that inspires a life worth living.
By ongoing engagement in therapeutic networks, conferences, workshops, and training, I continuously expand my knowledge to work diversely with clients from any walk of life.
