About Me & My Philosophy

I am a Washington native, equally at home on both sides of the Cascades Mountains that raised me. My life and professional experiences deeply shape how I work with people. I received my Bachelor of Arts from the University of Washington and my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health from Antioch University. I have over 15 years of experience as a mental health professional across Washington, Oregon, and Alaska.

​

Although my background has included case management, mental health court and working with children, adolescents, and families, my current practice specializes in individual therapy, primarily with women. I bring multiple perspectives to our work together because what helps one person may not help another. My approach is relational, mindful, and compassionate, honoring the ways our relationships—with ourselves, others, nature, and the world—support growth and healing.

​

I believe healing happens when we slow down, listen with curiosity, and develop a kinder connection with our inner world and all that makes up our experiences. Rather than trying to “fix” yourself, therapy becomes a space to notice what’s here, understand it with compassion, and gently create room for change.

​

Mindfulness is woven throughout my work—not as something you have to master, but as a way of being present with what’s already happening, moment by moment.
