Education & Professional Experience
Education Experience
I earned my Master's in Counseling in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with

included developing and quantitatively researching a tabletop role playing game for therapy purposes.
This game has been utilized with with various youth populations in different settings.

Professional Experience
I have professional counseling experience within various programs, including
wraparound intensive services (WISe), child and family counseling for individuals in the family system,
domestic violence community mental health, and school-based counseling services.
I also have experience leading social skill building groups, working with neurodivergent groups, and leading group
Dungeons & Dragons therapy. My experience has equipped me to work
with clients experiencing a wide range of issues, to include ADHD, autism, anxiety, and depression.
Services
Individual Counseling
I'm a mental health counselor who believes in getting to know you and your
interests first, then the healing can begin. I provide counseling services to teens and adults via
telehealth in Washington state. I believe being fun and interest-oriented helps clients
find where they are presently, so we can build a desireable future.
I firmly believe people never fail, plans fail, so let's make a new plan. You
are the expert of your own life; I'm here to help you remember the strengths that may
have been forgotten along the way or maybe needs some adjustement to the present.
I know finding the right someone to support you on your journey can be hard; I'm
honored to assist in your life adventure in any way I can.
Counseling Approach
How I Approach My Work
I have been trained in a variety of theoretical approaches and integrates these
approaches to best fit clients' needs. I enjoy working from a trauma-informed, geek therapy lens to gain
a holistic view that can highlight strengths and orient us to best build additional supports.
I integrate aspects from resiliency-centered counseling, narrative therapy,
drama therapy, and geek therapy.
