I am a WA State Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I use she/her pronouns. I am currently in process of pursuing my Infant Mental Health Endorsement through the Washington Association for Infant Mental Health and my Perinatal Mental Health Certificate through Postpartum Support International. I primarily work with pregnant persons, new parents and caregivers, young children (5 and under) and their families, as well as children with developmental and intellectual disabilities.

My primary approach is establishing a strong therapeutic relationship and creating a safe space for you, children and families to build on strengths, gain new tools and skills, and address concerns. I use tools from various treatment methods depending on your needs. I have extra training in Infant and Perinatal (Maternal) Mental Health, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical-Behavioral Therapy (DBT), play therapies and others.

It is important to me to engage as much of the family unit as possible. I encourage parents to bring in infants for their own new parenthood experience, or I require parental engagement if focusing on the child's wellbeing. I encourage open communication about the therapy process, because it is always possible to shift how you and I are approaching your goals - or to adjust your goals!
