I am a born and raised Washingtonian and received my Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Behavioral Neuroscience in 2016 from Western Washington University. Since then, I have worked in various capacities in the neuroscience research and medical fields including coordinating research at the University of Washington’s Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences (ILABS) and providing treatments for medication-resistant mental illness such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and ketamine infusions. These experiences confirmed my lifelong passion to be a source of support and understanding in other’s lives. This led me to a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and Wellness from New York University in 2022. I am currently a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate.  

I believe my background in various realms of the mental health world gives me a unique, holistic and integrative approach to viewing mental health issues. This allows me the ability to meet clients where they are at more fully and provide tailored care. At the end of the day though, I am just passionate about helping and understanding the people in my community and feel privileged to be able to hear their stories evolve and change. 

Outside the therapy room I enjoy playing and composing music and have played guitar for over 20 years. I have a passion for passion and enjoy art that evokes emotion in any form. I enjoy reading fantasy and sci-fi novels (when I am not keeping up to date on the latest literature in therapy), playing difficult video games and I have a lifelong love for film and television. When I don’t have my guitar or a book in my hand you can find me going for a mental health walk, spending time in nature, or watching live music!
