Once the decision to become a therapist was made, I pursued this career path with a fiery passion. Earning my Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Washington Bothell in 2013, I double majored in Community Psychology and American Studies. In 2016, I attained my Master’s Degree in Couple and Family Therapy at Antioch University Seattle, where I immediately returned and completed their yearlong Play Therapy Program. Afterwards, I worked in a mental health agency where services were provided in the office, at a couple rural school districts, and within the community. While there, I received additional training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In one of the school districts I worked in, I helped create and co- facilitate an LGBTQIA+ teen support group. My transition to providing home-based services as a subcontractor for Working Choices Inc. began after working at the agency for a couple of years. It was through this experience that I became certified in Functional Family Therapy. As of 2020 I also provide services in my small private practice within the Green Lake neighborhood of Seattle. Outside of work, I’m a mother of two beautiful cats and my interests include binging tv shows & movies, listening to podcasts, playing video games, exercising.
