I am currently a Master’s Student in Gonzaga University’s Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program where I am working toward becoming a licensed mental health counselor. I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest and have made my way back here after spending the last four years in Colorado. I love listening to music, reading, and watching movies– especially when my cat is curled up in my lap! I’m always up for a good adventure, and even more so if there is coffee involved.

Ever since I was a kid, I knew that I wanted to work people with people in a meaningful way, and help to make the world feel like a better place. Within my own journey to better myself, I found my way to counseling. I quickly came to feel that it was my calling and I have been incredibly passionate about the profession ever since.

I come from an athletic background, having played sports my whole life. My athletic career continued into college, where I played lacrosse at the Division II level. My experience in collegiate athletics added a new layer to my passion for counseling, as I recognized the mental health care needs of athletes.

My goal is to use my athletic background to connect with clients and help them achieve their personal goals. My counseling approach is rooted in kindness and empathy, while also personalizing the counseling experience to each client's needs. I view counseling as a journey– one that I cannot wait to join you on!
