Individual Therapist

Graduate Intern

I help people dealing with big life changes, grief, illness, and disability build a life that feels meaningful and genuinely their own.

I believe life is short and precious.

Life doesn’t always go according to plan, and figuring out who you are and what comes next can be hard when the ground has shifted underneath you. I understand that illness, disability, circumstances, and systemic barriers can put real limits on what you can change. Our work together is about figuring out what matters to you, helping you hear yourself more clearly, and finding the places where you do have choices. My hope is that you can build a life that feels meaningful, joyful, and truly yours, even while some of the hard things remain unresolved.

I also believe therapy doesn’t have to be relentlessly serious. There’s room for laughter, hope, and joy while we work through the hard stuff.

I also bring lived experience of disability to this work, which has shaped the patience, flexibility, and grace I try to bring to the counseling relationship.

I’m currently completing my master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling at Western Washington University and expect to graduate in 2027. Before becoming a counselor, I worked with women and teenagers experiencing homelessness and helped run a disability mutual aid group during the pandemic.

Outside of counseling, I’m a bit of a Jane of all trades. I make macarons, play an assortment of random musical instruments, explore by e-bike, and take my coffee very seriously. I also seem to have earned the universal approval of cats.
