My Work

A mix of soft landings, brave questions, belly laughs, and—when needed—a well-placed curse word.

Many clients come to me before they even have words for what's wrong, just a deep sense that something isn't working. Life might look "together" from the outside, but inside it feels like burnout, dread, or the constant pressure to be better. Together, we slow down, get curious, and make sense of what's been tangled.

My work is collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in respect for your inner wisdom. We'll name the patterns—like perfectionism, emotional exhaustion, or creative paralysis—that have helped you survive, and then explore what's next. I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), somatic practices, and attachment-based healing. We won't chase perfection. We'll make room for your full humanity and keep orienting toward the next right step.

My Belief

Healing isn't about fixing yourself—it's about reconnecting with what's already wise within you. I admire the courage it takes to question systems, beliefs, relationships, or identities that no longer fit. My role is to walk beside you as you rediscover what's real and true for you.

My Background

Before entering the counseling field, I spent years as a Suzuki cello teacher and a business consultant, supporting creatives and changemakers navigating trauma, burnout, and major transitions. My graduate research explored narcissism in leadership, cult influence, and coercive control in marketing psychology—insights that now inform my work with clients confronting power dynamics, identity, and purpose. I'm currently completing my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and practicing under supervision at Greenlake Wellness Group.

My Self

Like many of my clients, I've been shaped by complex lived experiences, including religious trauma, chronic illness, and the pressures of high-achieving, creative environments. I'm deeply connected to the queer, neurodivergent, and body-liberationist communities, and I welcome those who've ever felt "too much" or "never quite fit the mold."

If you find comfort in metaphors, dark humor, and soul-deep conversations—you'll probably feel at home here.
