Sometimes our tire hits the mud and spins out, and it doesn’t matter which way you turn the wheel or how hard you hit the gas, the car’s just stuck. That doesn’t make you a bad driver, it just means the road, the tire, and the tools may need a little adjustment and you’re on your way. Maybe you feel that way with a challenge in your life. Or maybe you’ve been trying to get a 2WD through the mud for a long, long road, and feel you’ve been working too hard and you’re starting to question your destination, your route, and your abilities altogether. The road and the stuck points are different for everyone, but I would love to accompany you on your journey. I hope to bring my experience working with the interaction of thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relational environment to support you with skillfully navigating your way to a life guided by your values. As your co-pilot, I bring a spirit of curiosity, compassion, and exploration. I take an active role and strive to help you practice new patterns in session, so that you feel prepared to try them between sessions. Through the messy, muddy mistakes, we will build grace, clarity, and hope.

I am open to all people and all journeys. I have experience working with identity development, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, ADHD, adolescents, multicultural and LGBTQIA+ identities, chronic pain, grief, and relational difficulties.

I use a variety of evidence-based therapeutic modalities and interventions based on what best fits you and your step in your journey. I ground my work in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which fosters an acceptance toward the turbulent nature of life while empowering you to navigate through the bumpy road toward a life of meaning, using your values as the compass. I weave Person-Centered therapy throughout the process, and I may also integrate Somatics, Narrative Therapy, and Existential Therapy techniques where they fit. I am always building out my toolbox and I am excited to continue learning through continuing education and through my work with my clients.

I graduated from Southern Oregon University with a Master’s of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2026. I also carry a Master’s in Education from UC San Diego and a B.S. in Cognitive Science from UC San Diego.
