Psychotherapy provides a safe place to discuss fears, thoughts, and difficult decisions we as humans must make during our journey in life. I believe we are capable of making life changes with the right tools. I am here to listen without judgement. I believe we all have a story to share. Being heard is one of the most important aspects of communication.

My passion is working with clients who have experienced some form of trauma in their lives. By sharing your story, we can begin to process the trauma from experience to a new understanding, while remaining in the present.

Therapist

Virtual • Washington


I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with a career that began around 2008. I hold a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a Master of Social Work. My background includes supporting adults with developmental disabilities, counseling at-risk youth, and working in psychiatric residential treatment, crisis care, hospital case management, and forensic mental health. I have also served as Director of Services for a youth crisis residential program, a sheriff’s deputy, and a military police officer.

Currently, I serve as a Lead Therapist in inpatient psychiatry, providing assessments, individualized treatment planning, and therapeutic support for people experiencing acute and complex mental health concerns. I collaborate with the treatment team to support stabilization and continuity of care and take on leadership responsibilities as needed.

I also provide outpatient therapy to military members and their families, drawing on my own military experience. Across my work, I help clients build coping skills, strengthen daily functioning, and move toward meaningful goals. I offer telehealth sessions throughout Washington.
