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

• Supervision offered in Washington and Utah

• 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.

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.
