Hello! Thank you for taking time to read my profile, I'm so glad you're here. I'm a child & adolescent therapist who works with a wide age range. My background includes work within community-based, inpatient, and private practice settings with children and families from diverse sociocultural backgrounds. I hold a Master degree in Applied Child and Adolescent Psychology from the University of Washington. I received clinical training at Ryther’s Inpatient Program where I provided individual therapy services to children with trauma backgrounds, as well as family therapy and parent coaching for disruptive behaviors. I have received specialized training in the Attachment, Regulation, Competency (ARC) model for working with children and families. I have experience working with a variety of mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and mood dysregulation. I utilize several evidence-based treatments, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), DBT, and PCIT.
