Everything I guide clients through, I have done or continue to do myself. At the heart of my approach is a collaborative stance of humility — supporting clients in developing a deeper, more intimate relationship with themselves as I do the same. The parallel process of the therapeutic dynamic is something I whole heartedly embrace as humans navigating the complexities of life in tandem. Over the past decade of training and practice, I have studied relationship-oriented counseling, behavioral, parent-child interventions, yoga, mindfulness, and somatic, psychodynamic (body-oriented) approaches. My clinical background spans crisis intervention, child welfare, in-home settings, and the intersection of mental health and legal systems. Prior to counseling, I worked as a childcare provider and yoga/movement teacher, and have taught courses at the graduate level across several Seattle-area counseling programs. Currently, I work with couples, individuals, supervisees, and other licensed professionals in my role as a Washington State Approved Clinical Supervisor. In 2025, I completed my doctorate from Antioch University's Counselor Education and Supervision program, with dissertation research focused on accessibility in higher education. My theoretical framework integrates intersectional feminism and liberation psychology, attachment, developmental neuroscience, EMDR, and yoga/movement/mindfulness. In 2026, I started the certification program in Terry Real’s Relational Life Therapy specific to working with couples/relational systems. I enjoy working with neurodivergent, highly sensitive, spiritual, intellectualized, open minded individuals, couples, and relational systems. Clients and supervisees describe me as thoughtful, responsive, collaborative, curious, and nonjudgmental. On a personal level, I am a highly sensitive, spiritual being. I am a mother of two young children, partner, daughter, sister, and friend. I like to practice yoga, paint/doodle (all website art is my own), write, dance, hike/camp, cook, embrace silence, and connect with loved ones.

As a Washington State Approved Supervisor, I supervise all associate level professionals (LMHCA, LICSWA, LMFTA) working towards full licensure. As a therapist trained in a wide range of approaches from behavioral, psychodynamic, familial/relational, trauma-informed and individual/person-centered, I love supporting clinicians in finding their unique clinical perspective and voice. In addition, practical tips and templates are often incorporated into supervision to support a sustainable, efficient, and financially productive private practice . If working with insurance, creating treatment plans and notes that fulfill insurance needs can also be an area of emphasis. $150/one-on-one hourly $100/two-on-one hourly Discounted rates when co-supervisor in training is present: $50/one-one hourly $25/two-on-one hourly https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fca65f8b348773684b154c5/40b83706-5857-45cb-a918-e9caaf7d6b91/Screen+Shot+2022-02-14+at+11.38.36+AM.jpg SUPERVISION & CONSULTATION - Supervision of supervision Through a combination of shadowing and feedback sessions, I help qualified professionals fulfill the 25 hours of supervision experience required to become a Washington State Approved Supervisor in a private practice setting. $150/hourly Consultation Practice can feel isolating. I often work with fully licensed professionals seeking additional support around practice management/organization, advanced clinical skills and self of the therapist exploration. $150/hourly
