Clinical Director

Whether the struggles come from life changes, relationship struggles, substance use, or past experiences, I work collaboratively with my clients to develop practical ways to find relief and process the emotional pieces.

Therapeutically, I work with clients from a humanistic, existential, narrative therapy framework. However, the most important piece to me is to collaborate with my client to find an approach that works for them to make counseling a successful experience.

I graduated from the Masters in Clinical Psychology program at Argosy University in 2010. Since graduating I have worked primarily in private practice, working with a wide variety of people, ages, sexual orientation, and gender. In addition to private practice, I have clinical experience in psychiatric hospitalization systems in Pierce County. I became a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in 2012.

I provide administrative support to the main C-STARS office as well as our satellite programs in Juneau, AK, and Yakima, WA.

Outside of my work life, I spend quite a bit of time at the various dog parks in the city with my corgi and Boston terrier. I love working on various craft projects, trying new restaurants, coffee shops and finding tasty treats with my partner as well.
