I am a graduate from the University of Washington- Seattle campus where I got both my Bachelor of Social Welfare and my Master of Social Work. Prior to being in school, I did extensive work within the social work community within various capacities through city programs, residential treatment centers, and non-profits. I have over 20 years of experience working with young adults and families and have done a ton of work surrounding neurodivergence including ADHD and autism, work on fostering positive child and parent relationships, working on building positive life and coping skills, and working with various forms of trauma which have now translated into my therapeutic practice as a provider. I did my practicum placement here at Shoreview Psychotherapy and chose to continue my full-time work here at the conclusion of school.

​A Note on My Work

While I have experience within different modalities, I truly believe that therapy is not "one size fits all" and that it's about building a strong therapeutic relationship with one another, as what works for one person may not be what works for you. I tailor each person's therapy to their unique personal needs and don't overly rely on one modality to treat each of my clients, even if your personal situation is similar to that of another client of mine. If you have a specific modality you're looking for, let's talk about what exactly it is you're wanting help with and come up with a way of doing therapy that's going to work for you personally. I'm happy to discuss with you what I feel may be the best approach to what it is that you're needing during a phone consultation.

 

If you're interested in talking further, I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation prior to scheduling appointments so that both of us can ensure we are a good fit for each other. I look forward to connecting and to seeing how I can best support you.
