About

My clinical experience spans a variety of community mental health, crisis intervention, private practice and treatment settings.

I began my career in women’s shelters, supporting individuals navigating the impacts of trauma, domestic violence, housing insecurity, and systemic barriers to safety and stability.

I spent several years as a crisis counselor with the King County Crisis Line, responding to calls from individuals experiencing suicidal and acute mental health crises, substance use concerns, and other life-threatening emergencies. This work deepened my ability to remain grounded and compassionate in the presence of intense emotional distress.

I also worked in a men’s co-occurring inpatient treatment facility serving adult males navigating addiction, severe and persistent mental illness, and involvement with the criminal legal system. In this role, I facilitated individual and group therapy while supporting clients through recovery, stabilization, and reintegration.

In a specialized anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders outpatient group practice, I worked with adolescents and adults often with focus on clinical presentations at the intersections of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma and neurodivergence. 

I hold a masters degree in mental health counseling with a clinical specialization from Antioch University, Seattle and maintain membership with the Northwest Alliance for Psychoanalytic Study. My clinical work is informed not only by formal training, but by an ongoing commitment to my own psychodyanmic therapy and psychoanalytic supervision. I belive this continual process of self-reflection strengthens my capacity to think deeply, remain emotionally present and provide thoughtful and principled care to my clients.
