I am the owner and therapist behind Wild Ground Counseling Co. I am a Washington State Licensed Social Worker Associate – Independent Clinical (LSWAIC) and provide therapy under the supervision of a Washington State–approved clinical supervisor. Clinical supervision is a standard, ethical, and supportive part of associate-level practice and allows me to continually deepen my skills while offering high-quality care.

My professional background is rooted in clinical therapy, crisis response and medical social work. My career has afforded me extensive experience supporting individuals and families through acute stress, safety concerns, life transitions, and complex emotional situations. This includes work in emergency and community-based settings, where clarity, steadiness, and sound clinical judgment are essential. That experience strongly shapes how I show up for my clients; calm, grounded, and focused on what actually helps.I approach therapy from a practical, relational lens, with an emphasis on insight and real-world application. I believe meaningful change happens when people feel understood and appropriately challenged, not rushed or judged. My work focuses on emotional regulation, boundaries and relationships, processing stress and trauma, and rebuilding stability and self-trust through collaborative, transparent therapy.

Wild Ground Counseling Co. was created to be a grounded, human space for meaningful work—whether through telehealth or walk-and-talk sessions for local clients. I offer steady support, practical insight, and a therapeutic relationship built on trust.
