Born and raised in West Seattle, I am excited to have my own family in my hometown. These days, home is life with friends, my husband, and our rescue pup. I spend my free time crafting and going for family walks.
I have over 15 years experience working with families in private, public, and clinical settings and I have worked primarily with pregnant and postpartum women and their families since 2013. I use a variety of therapeutic modalities to meet the needs of my patients and create a individualized plan of care to accomplish their goals.
Training and Credentials:
I am licensed in Washington State to provide therapy and counseling as an Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I graduated with a BS in Psychology and a Minor in Urban Education from Santa Clara University and returned to Washington for graduate school, completing my MSW at the University of Washington. I take every opportunity to engage in ongoing clinical trainings both directed to specific populations as well as evidenced-based therapy modalities.
