About

Change is a natural part of life, and sometimes it brings challenges that feel overwhelming. While these moments can be difficult, they also offer powerful opportunities for growth. Therapy can be a safe and supportive space to reconnect with yourself, be present in your life, and rediscover your inner strength. We often rely on coping strategies we’ve learned over time some helpful, some limiting. I work collaboratively with my clients to identify their strengths and build new skills that support healing, resilience and thriving. With over 15 years of experience, I’ve had the honor of supporting children, adolescents, and families particularly in underserved communities. My approach integrates evidence-based practices and trauma-informed care, including EMDR, parts work, and somatic techniques. I specialize in working with issues related to trauma, abuse, and cultural identity. You deserve a life that feels meaningful and balanced. Reaching out for support is a courageous first step and you don’t have to do it alone. Visit my website to learn more about how I can help you on your path to healing and growth. Specialties: I support clients with trauma, anxiety, relationship issues, identity exploration, and life transitions. Treatment may include EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, and somatic work. You can expect a collaborative, culturally attuned space to heal, gain insight, and build resilience. Credentials & Experience: I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (in WA) with specialized training in trauma, EMDR, and culturally responsive care. I bring over a decade of experience supporting diverse communities with compassion, depth, and a strong foundation in evidence-based practices.

"I use a trauma-informed, culturally responsive approach that integrates CBT, EMDR, mindfulness, and somatic practices. Therapy with me is collaborative and compassionate, honoring your lived experience and identity. You'll find a grounded, safe space to heal, grow, and reconnect with your strengths."
