Get To Know Me
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
Almost every year since 2010, I’ve been a client of counseling myself. Knowing how complicated and difficult recovery can be, I wanted to become a therapist to offer clients a patient, compassionate approach to therapy that prioritizes your goals and autonomy. I’m deeply grateful for the profound impact of my therapists, and it’s an honor to witness your story and walk with you as it unfolds, as my therapists had.
In what ways do your life philosophy and treatment philosophy overlap?
Through my personal values of autonomy, humility, and unconditional positive regard, I support clients as they renegotiate their relationship to addictive behaviors and intense emotions:
- Autonomy | I will advocate for your freedom and agency.
- Humility | I will commit to unearthing my biases and noticing when they seek to influence the direction of counseling.
- Unconditional positive regard | Every part of you is welcome, embraced, and worthy of space.
How do you determine therapy goals with clients? What does that process look like?
Here's the general flow of my approach:
1. Ally: My first objective is to understand how you see the world, and tailor support based on your personal values, worldview, culture, and identity. In our first session together, you get to name your goals. I provide some ideas of how to achieve them, and we can keep trying strategies until we find the ones that work best for you.
2. Understand: I listen carefully to the ways that your past experiences and relationships affected you, and notice with you how those impacts may be showing up in the present moment or circumstances.
3. Act: We take action on insight by practicing skills and strategies that work with your nervous system and stress signals.

Professional Background
LicensureWashington, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LH70029118
Training/CertificationsSubstance Use Disorder Professional Trainee (SUDP)
Education
Antioch University Seattle, Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Addiction Studies, 2023 — I completed Antioch University's CACREP-accredited counseling program, which means this program's curriculum and faculty is vetted for quality based on the standards of The Council for Accreditation of Counseling & Related Educational Programs. My education at Antioch focused on trauma-informed, multicultural approaches to counseling infused with social justice values. I was a member of Antioch's honors society as well as the student group Counselors for Social Justice.
I completed a Certificate in Addiction Studies, which fulfills educational requirements to obtain state licensure for substance use-specific assessment and treatment, and am currently accruing clinical hours as a Substance Use Disorder Professional Trainee.
Work HistoryIn addition to my private practice, I work as a substance use and mental health counselor at Clarity Mental Health Recovery in Bellingham, WA. Here I have received both training and experience in working with the crossover between substance use and mental health.
Prior to this, I worked at the Antioch Community Care clinic as mental health counselor for both individuals and families. I have also worked as a volunteer counselor at Crisis Text Line, where I supported individuals experiencing a wide range of mental health crises.
Before I became a mental health counselor, I worked in the editorial field for a decade specializing in drug policy, health, and science which provided a strong foundation for understanding substance use from a broader social, political, cultural, and biological perspective.
