About My Clients
I am enthusiastic about serving youth, young adults, and neuro-diverse individuals with various complexities. I believe in exploring one’s identity and differences, igniting one's willingness to grow, and turning difficult experiences into life altering growth. You may be feeling as though you are a burden to others or you may feel unsatisfied with your life- if that's the case, I can't wait to meet and partner with you to create change in your life!
My Background and Approach
I believe in a delicate and supportive approach and am always sure to provide trauma informed treatment. I offer a safe, affirming space for individuals to process their deepest concerns and explore their differences without judgment. I use various treatment modalities that are based in research and evidence such as DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). However, most importantly I will work with you to determine your desired treatment approach because I am flexible and believe you know yourself best. I offer expertise in anxiety, depression, trauma and eating disorders. I have several years of experience working at Seattle Children's Hospital on the inpatient psychiatric unit, in the Emergency Department, and helped pilot the Seattle Children's Adolescent Partial Hospitalization Program. Therefore, I specialize in complex cases and have an array of resources to offer the patients and families I serve.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
In order to experience life to its fullest potential we must be willing to persevere. Life brings many challenges but I truly believe each and every person is capable of overcoming those challenges given the right supports. As your therapist I will challenge you to think critically about your decisions, foster motivation, identify your purpose and explore your history which will result in reaching your fullest potential. Systemic oppression, societies expectations and pressure from others can really take a toll on us, our self esteem and our ability to flourish. I believe you are an essential piece to this world and I will help you believe that as well as become that. I believe in honoring each persons differences, listening to different perspectives and providing honesty and patience to my clients.
