About Me

I am a trauma-informed Certified IFS Therapist with several years of experience providing therapeutic support to individuals and families from many different walks of life. During my years working in community mental health and private practice, I have gained experience in working with individuals across the lifespan, from early childhood to late adulthood, on a variety of issues and challenges, including chronic stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, family conflict, relationship issues, and major life events and transitions. As someone who has been impacted by the effects of childhood trauma, I am deeply passionate about helping others heal from childhood wounds and to rediscover their true essence. 

 

Education​

I hold a MA in Couple and Family Therapy from Antioch University Seattle, and a BA in Community Psychology from the University of Washington Bothell. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I have extensive training in psychotherapy and family systems. I also hold a certificate in play therapy from Antioch University Center for Play Therapy and have met the rigorous requirements for becoming a Certified IFS Therapist. ​​
