I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate in Washington, specializing in parent-child relationships and early attachment. I believe that the quality of our earliest connections profoundly shapes us throughout life. Whether you’re nurturing your relationship with your child or processing your own experiences, it is an honor to walk alongside you on this journey.

For more than 13 years, I have worked with families in many capacities. My journey began as a nanny for a child with a rare genetic syndrome, where I had the privilege of accompanying her to weekly therapy sessions. This experience gave me a deep appreciation for the complexities families navigate when raising a child with significant developmental needs.

I was later drawn to non-profit work, beginning in fundraising and outreach for an agency focused on inclusive services for children and adults with developmental delays and disabilities. Over time, I moved into a role as a Family Resource Coordinator, supporting families whose children had developmental delays. It was in this role that I saw a strong need for counseling services, which led me to pursue graduate training with the goal of expanding access to mental health support.

For the past three years, I have provided infant mental health counseling as part of a multidisciplinary team. During this time, I also helped develop a program supporting children and families involved in the child welfare and foster care system. These experiences continue to shape my deep respect for the resilience of families.

I have supported families through developmental delays and diagnoses, medical trauma, foster care and adoption, parenting transitions, and grief. I also enjoy working with neurodivergent individuals and families. I strive to create a space where neurodiversity is understood, respected, and celebrated. Supporting parents as they navigate the process of seeking or receiving diagnoses, whether for themselves or their children is one of the most meaningful parts of my work.

Having lived in Snohomish County all my life, I care deeply about the well-being of this community. Today, I live in Everett with my husband and our wire-haired dachshund, Luna.
