My Approach:

I believe you are the expert of your own life. My role is to offer guidance, reflection, and compassion as we collaborate to uncover the patterns, beliefs, and experiences that have shaped you. My intention is to create a therapeutic space that feels supportive, authentic, and empowering — one where you can process, grow, and discover new ways to care for yourself.

I take a strengths-based and integrative approach, drawing from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Together, we’ll use these tools in a way that fits your unique needs and goals — whether that means flexible, individualized sessions or a more structured approach.

Over the past decade, I’ve worked across a variety of settings — from community nonprofits serving newly arrived refugees and homeless families, to outpatient and residential mental health programs, and hospital-based clinics supporting families navigating medical diagnoses.

During my time in the Diabetes Clinic at Seattle Children’s Hospital, I developed a deep appreciation for working with teens, young adults, and parents managing Type 1 Diabetes. That experience continues to inform my passion for supporting individuals and families facing chronic illness with compassion and understanding.
