I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing individual psychotherapy for adults. I offer both in-person therapy in Bellingham and secure video sessions for clients throughout Washington State.

​

I received my Master’s degree in Psychology and my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Seattle. I also hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting and a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Art from the University of Washington.

​

I have over a decade of experience working in a variety of clinical settings, including community mental health, a college counseling center, and residential treatment programs. I have been in private practice since 2018. I primarily work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and ADHD, as well as concerns related to life transitions, relationships, communication, stress, and emotional regulation.

​​

While my background includes formal training in art therapy and the visual arts, my work primarily involves talk therapy. Art therapy may occasionally be incorporated when it feels helpful and appropriate for a client’s goals.

​

My therapeutic approach is grounded in cognitive and behavioral therapies, with an emphasis on understanding patterns and developing practical strategies for meaningful change. I particularly enjoy working with thoughtful adults who want therapy to be both reflective and focused on improving how life feels day to day. I see therapy as a collaborative process where curiosity, insight, and experimentation help people respond differently to challenges that once felt stuck.

​

One of the most meaningful parts of this work for me is seeing the growth that unfolds over time. I am continually impressed by the resilience, insight, and creativity of the people I work with. While therapy involves serious conversations, sessions also frequently include humor and moments of laughter. People bring a great deal of wit and perspective into the room, and I value creating a space where both thoughtful reflection and genuine human connection can happen.
