Mental Health Counselor

I offer therapy services at our Renton, WA clinic. I’m a compassionate, client-centered therapist who values diversity, authenticity, and cultural humility in every aspect of my work. I believe healing happens when people feel truly seen, heard, and accepted as they are. My approach is grounded in respect for each individual’s lived experience, and I strive to create a space where clients of all identities, backgrounds, and belief systems feel safe to show up fully as themselves. I draw from evidence-based and expressive modalities including Person-Centered Therapy, Trauma-Informed Care, Art Therapy, Play Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

With children and adolescents, I often incorporate creative and play-based interventions to help them express emotions in developmentally appropriate ways. With adults, I support deeper insight, behavioral change, and resilience-building. Using a trauma-informed lens, Cultural humility, empathy, unconditional positive regard and respect are huge to me.

I want you to know that I see therapy as a partnership built on trust, compassion, and authenticity. Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I deeply respect the courage it takes to begin this process. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe enough to be honest, explore freely, and grow at your own pace; without judgment or pressure.
