I am currently only accepting new clients in Washington state. I am an individual and relationship counselor licensed in Washington, Texas, Oregon, and Louisiana. I have 7 years of experience as a mental health counselor, life coach, and career coach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship and communication issues, problems with school and career, decision making, and ADHD. My counseling approach has been described as direct, yet caring and collaborative. I strive to ensure my clients feel comfortable opening up to me about whatever they feel will help them achieve their goals in counseling. Because of this approach, I have clients from a range of genders, sexualities, and ethnic backgrounds. I approach counseling with a client-centered, cognitive behavioral treatment modality, as well as a focus on solution-focused and choice theory approaches. Utilizing different approaches allows me to customize the therapeutic process to each individual client. Reaching out for help can be one of the most difficult processes we face in life. I hope that you will continue that process by contacting me to begin your path to a more fulfilled life. I look forward to working with you!

I am a licensed psychologist in Texas with six years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, including stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, motivation, and depression. I also specialize in guiding clients through major life transitions, providing support as they adapt to change and rediscover their strengths. My journey in psychology has taken me across diverse settings—from working in integrated medical teams in hospitals to supporting students, families, and individuals in clinical and community environments. Through my work in behavioral health, family medicine, oncology, palliative care, and academic settings, I have developed a deep appreciation for the connection between mental and physical well-being. My experience conducting comprehensive psychological assessments, including bariatric evaluations and academic accommodations, has further reinforced my holistic approach to care. I believe that therapy is not about "fixing" but about empowering you to reconnect with your strengths and take steps toward the life you want. You are the expert of your own story, and my role is to walk alongside you, offering compassion, insight, and evidence-based strategies to support your growth. Taking the first step toward healing and self-discovery is courageous, and I am here to provide a safe and supportive space as you embark on this journey.
