My Story

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Utah, with over a decade of experience across medical, outpatient, and inpatient mental health settings.

Before entering social work, I spent seven years working in the medical field. That experience gave me a deep understanding of healthcare systems, as well as a clear view of their limitations when care becomes rigid or overly procedural. This background continues to shape my integrative, flexible approach to therapy.

Education and Licensure

• Master of Social Work, University of Denver

• Bachelor of Science in Psychology, University of Utah

• Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), Washington

• Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Utah

​

Clinical Background

My clinical experience spans a range of settings and levels of care, including:

• Outpatient private practice

• Psychiatric hospital work with individuals experiencing severe and persistent mental illness

• Clinical leadership roles, including Clinical Director of an inpatient psychiatric hospital in McCleary, Washington

• Group and private practice work with Corner Canyon Counseling in Utah and Sokya Health in Washington

I founded Shoreview Psychotherapy to create a practice rooted in relational, trauma-informed, and identity-affirming care for both clients and clinicians.

​

Therapeutic Approach

My work is trauma-focused and deeply relational. I support clients navigating trauma, dissociation, anxiety, depression, and identity-related concerns using an integrative blend of evidence-based approaches, including:

• EMDR

• Ego State Therapy

• Psychodynamic therapy

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• Clinical Hypnosis

• Mindfulness-informed interventions

I am trained as a clinical hypnotherapist and a certified mindfulness-informed clinician. For clients who are interested, I also integrate holistic and intuitive practices, including Reiki, in a grounded and client-centered way. These modalities are always offered collaboratively and never imposed.

​

Supervision and Consultation

In addition to therapy, I provide clinical supervision and consultation for mental health professionals.

• Washington State Approved Supervisor

• Individual and group supervision available

My supervision style is relational, collaborative, and anti-oppressive, with a focus on trauma-informed care, dissociation, identity-affirming practice, and helping clinicians develop confidence, presence, and authenticity in the therapy room.

Licensed clinicians seeking deeper clinical support around complex trauma and dissociation are welcome to reach out about consultation. One-off and ongoing consultation arrangements are available.

A Note on My Work

At the core of my practice is a commitment to care, both for clients seeking healing and for clinicians building their capacity to support others. I believe deeply in the impact of thoughtful, well-supported clinical work and the ripple effect it creates beyond any single therapy relationship.
