Mental Health Counselor

(she/her)

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate in Washington State. I hold a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Masters degree in Library and Information Science. I completed my internship at Monarch Children’s Justice and Advocacy Center where I practiced Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and somatic approaches to support survivors navigating complex trauma and systems involvement. I practice under clinical supervision of Jen Marino, LMHC (#LH61204606).

As a therapist, I show up with curiosity, humor, and empathy to provide care for teens and adults that is affirming, trauma-informed, and truly supportive. I believe therapy can be a unique space where healing and growth occurs through connection and trust, both within the therapeutic relationship and within the client.

I especially enjoy my work with LGBTQIA teens and those who have experienced trauma and major stressors. I’m drawn to this work because I care deeply about reducing suffering and helping people feel more resilient, connected, and hopeful. I work collaboratively with teens, parents, and adults - offering support that balances practical skills with space for reflection, humor, and humanity. My role is to walk alongside clients as they navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and grow into a deeper sense of authenticity and confidence over time.

In my own life, I maintain connection and find joy in hikes in the forest, recharging at the ocean, roleplaying games like D&D and Daggerheart, board games with friends, and snuggles with my couch potato dog.

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
— Jalaluddin Rumi, Translated by Coleman Barks
