I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with experience in treating individuals, couples, children, and families who are living with: depression, anxiety, trauma, systemic oppression, relational distress and dissatisfaction.  I am a sex-positive therapist with experience working with LGBTQ+, kink, and poly clients.  I use evidence-based approaches that are proven to be effective at reducing symptoms and increasing quality of life.  I bring an accepting and caring presence to hold space for connection and healing. 

​

I worked in community health and inpatient addiction treatment for over 5 years.  This experience informed my collaborative approach to therapy and my ability to tailor treatments to the unique needs of each individual, partnership, or family. I am also an AAMFT approved supervisor providing supervision for associate licensed clinicians in Washington state.

I have training in the following modalities: Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotion-focused Therapy.
