Individual Therapist

Graduate Intern

I help adults who feel stuck or overwhelmed make sense of what they’re going through and feel more connected to themselves and their lives.

I believe people can change, and that feeling heard and understood is an important place to start. My goal is to create a space where you can be honest about what’s going on without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out.

You might be coming to therapy during a difficult transition, experiencing anxiety or self-doubt, or feeling like something in your life isn’t working the way you want it to. I approach therapy with curiosity and compassion, taking the time to understand what matters to you and how you make sense of your experiences. I recognize that our identities, relationships, and social and cultural contexts shape how we experience ourselves and the world, and I make space for the ways these intersect, including aspects of your identity that may go unseen or unacknowledged. Together, we can explore what you hope to change or understand in a collaborative, supportive space.

I am earning my Master’s in Clinical Social Work at the University of Washington and will graduate in spring 2027. Before pursuing social work, I taught English in Vietnam, Japan, and Lebanon for over a decade. Those experiences deepened my appreciation for different cultures and taught me how much we can learn by listening to people’s stories. Some of the most meaningful moments in my work as a teacher came from supporting people through periods of uncertainty and change, which ultimately inspired me to become a therapist.

I’m originally from small-town Vermont, and have always found peace in nature. I also love wandering around cities, looking for used bookstores, thrift shops, and the perfect cup of coffee.
