About Me
I am a grounded and easygoing individual. I enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, backpacking, and refurbishing vintage bicycles. I find fulfillment in applying the skills I teach, as they contribute to my personal growth and development.
Education & Experience
I have dedicated 20 years to the mental health field, with experience in prisoner re-entry programs, female diversion initiatives, services for individuals and groups on the psychosis spectrum, housing initiatives, serving as a board member for the VHA and private practice. I earned my MSW in 2019 and have since completed EMDR training. I have applied EMDR therapy with clients from diverse backgrounds, and I am continually moved by its effectiveness. When I work with you, I see you as my partner in your recovery. My primary goal is to support your well-being, meeting you where you are in the process. I focus on treating the individual, not the diagnosis. I consider it a privilege when individuals choose me as their therapist. Trusting someone with your personal journey is meaningful, and I am committed to honoring that trust throughout our work together.
