About Me
I currently hold a Master’s in Counseling Psychology and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Washington (LH 61335185). I received my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from the Seattle School of Psychology. My therapeutic approach includes relational psychodynamic work fused with narrative/story work.
I have a background in ballet and dance-movement which has influenced my understanding of therapy as involving both the mind and the body. I also identify as disabled due to being born with a limb difference which influences my passion of body liberation for all. My other professional interests and advanced trainings include: trauma-informed care, attachment work, enneagram work, Lifespan Integration technique, somatic work, and a Health At Every Size Approach.
In my freetime I enjoy spending time outside in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with my partner and our sweet pup. You can also find me planning game and movie nights on the weekends, or spending my mornings practicing mindfulness via trying to keep my houseplants alive. A few of my favorite things include: coffee, road trips, puzzles, Christmas decorations, and Oaxacan food.
