I want therapy to be a steady place where you can slow down, get curious about the patterns shaping your life, and reconnect with your own sense of agency. I work with individuals, couples, and adolescents starting at age 12, with particular focus on anxiety, depression, identity exploration, and grief.

Part of my own path includes years as a touring musician and songwriter, which shapes how I think about healing from religious or cultural experiences that didn't leave room for who you actually are. That background also means I understand what it's like to live a nontraditional life that doesn't always make sense to the people around you. I'm completing my clinical hours toward full LMFT licensure.

I'm supervised by Dr. Zain Shamoon, PhD, LMFT, an AAMFT Approved Supervisor, so every case I carry gets a second, credentialed set of eyes as standard practice. A real portion of my week is adults: individuals working through identity or grief, and couples trying to hear each other clearly again. The steadiness is the same whether the person across from me is fifteen or fifty.

My best work happens with people rebuilding after religious or cultural trauma, questioning an identity they were handed, or carrying a grief that won't move, whether that's a teenager in Tacoma, an adult anywhere in Washington state, or a couple somewhere in the middle of both.

When you're ready, the intake form takes a few minutes. Parents booking for a teenager can send a question first about how that first session works. Music and creative work drift into my sessions naturally, never as an assignment, just one more way at what's going on underneath.
