Clinical Coordinator

Master of Social Work, University of Washington

Main CAPS Building

Hello and welcome to CAPS, an amazing source of mental health support as well as community here on campus. Glad you made it here! As a clinical coordinator, I may support you through a brief assessment to get you connected with therapy or other referrals, with grounding in moments of crisis, in a therapeutic group, or collaborating towards your mental health goals. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have provided individual and group therapy in different community-based settings. I draw on trauma-informed and social justice frameworks, assessing your needs as a whole, camplex person within relationships, families, and communities. Outside of CAPS, you can usually find me making art, listening to music, or taking walks in nature.
