After college, my first job was working with at-risk youth. Following several years in similar roles, I decided to further my education, recognizing it as a necessity to thrive in the behavioral health field. Armed with my experiences thus far, I enrolled in Seattle University to pursue a graduate degree in psychology and undergo training as a psychotherapist. Throughout my academic journey, I developed my therapeutic approach rooted in clinical psychology, philosophy, and the humanities. I honed the skills to be fully present with others' experiences of suffering and distress, guiding them to uncover the meaning behind their pain to initiate the healing process through therapy.

In my approach to psychotherapy, I tailor each person's treatment according to their needs. My experience encompasses various treatment modalities, including but not limited to CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Solution-focused Therapy, and Strength-based Therapy.
