Life is all about connection—how we connect to ourselves and to others. In the midst of life’s highs and lows, it is inevitable to sometimes feel disconnected or confused. I believe hard experiences and challenges are chances to meet ourselves and to touch the depths of who we really are. Often, who we truly are gets buried under who we were taught to be in order to obtain love or be successful. I am passionate about working with individuals to uncover old narratives and defeating patterns in order to discover how to live authentic and fully connected lives, to both ourselves and others. Inspired by personal development and growth, our therapeutic relationship will be a space where we work collaboratively to work through any barriers and struggles holding you back from achieving your goals and desires.

I work with individuals and couples who are dealing with anxiety, trauma, sexuality, LGTBQ issues and/or life transitions, and are searching for better ways to understand themselves and navigate life. I also have a particular specialty and interest in working with athletes, both at collegiate and professional levels. Through a framework of attachment theory and relational psychoanalysis, we will explore your inner world together. In a trusting and non-judgmental relationship, I am honored to engage with your story and life experiences in empathic ways. Diving into the depths of emotions requires vulnerability that I honor as we work together to strengthen your sense of self-worth and connectedness.

Born and raised in Seattle, Washington, I earned my bachelor’s degree in Sociology and Spanish at the University of Washington. Prior to pursuing a career in psychology, my career was focused in dental and medical practice management. Outside of work, I enjoy my family, all sports activities, including coaching and playing indoor soccer and basketball. As a collegiate Olympic Weightlifter and Junior Olympic National Champion, I enjoy hitting the weight room as well.
