I aim to tailor therapy to the unique needs, life circumstances, and strengths of each individual. I work with adults from diverse backgrounds treating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, interpersonal difficulties, and stress related to living with chronic medical conditions.

I graduated from Seattle Pacific University with a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. I have experience in a variety of settings including outpatient counseling clinic, medical centers, primary care, community health center, state hospital, high school counseling center, and inpatient private hospital.

I completed my pre-doctoral internship at the Veterans Affairs hospital in southern Arizona and received training utilizing several evidence-based therapeutic modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational enhancement therapy, mindfulness meditation, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and interpersonal psychotherapy. Following, internship, I completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Vermont, studying behavioral pharmacology.
