Overview

My goal is to create space where you feel connected and safe to be vulnerable. I focus on validating lived experiences while facilitating conversation that provides insight into how those experiences impact thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I am here to help you process feelings, tough decisions, and big life changes at your own pace. Humans are imperfect and inherently worthy of comfort, safety, and peace.
My approach is client-directed, humanistic, strengths-based, and empathetic. You define your challenges and path to healing. I incorporate cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness strategies into my practice. I am currently receiving training in EMDR and working to incorporate it into my practice.
I come to Mindful Therapy Group with a background in public service and community mental health. I hold a master’s degree in social work from the University of Washington in 2018 and am currently working toward independent licensure. I work with individuals age 13 and up.
