Therapist

Virtual • Gig Harbor, WA


My journey in this field began with a fascination for individual development across the lifespan, particularly in relational and identity formation. I earned my B.S. in Developmental Psychology and Women & Gender Studies, which laid the foundation for my interest in this field. Following my undergraduate studies, I completed two terms of service with AmeriCorps, providing support to individuals and families at Community Resource Centers in California throughout the Sacramento and Bay Area. Through these experiences, I gained valuable insight into how strong communities are built by supporting the well-being of individuals and families. This work ultimately inspired me to pursue an M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Sonoma State University.

Welcome! I'm a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who provides compassionate, patient-centered care. My practice focuses on adults and adolescents navigating anxiety, mood disorders, and emotional challenges. I began my career as a nurse, where I witnessed firsthand the profound impact that compassionate care can have — that experience is what inspired me to specialize in mental health.

I believe in listening first and understanding your unique story before anything else. My goal is to create a space where you feel truly heard and understood, so we can build a personalized treatment plan that supports your healing and lasting well-being. Outside of my practice, I enjoy family time and traveling.
