About

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and have been in practice since 2012. I have worked across multiple settings providing therapy and assessments, including university counseling centers, the Veterans Affairs Hospital, and private practice. I enjoy the human connection I get to experience through my work. My commitment is to serve people from all walks of lives, because mental health struggles can impact anyone. It is an honor to be a part of someone's journey towards a better understanding of their mental health and their healing process.

Education & Licensure
PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Argosy University Hawai'i Campus; Bachelors in Psychology from Eastern Washington University.
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and have been in practice since 2012.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I believe the key to healing is through trust. Building a relationship that feels safe is the most important step in helping someone look inward, acknowledge their strengths and growth edges, and find courage to connect with all aspects of themselves. Empowering people to cultivate self-love and self-compassion is a rewarding process for me, and I achieve it by modeling a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship.
