​I am a Seattle native and have lived in Washington for most of my life. I received a BA degree from Western Washington University in Communication Sciences and Disorders. I went on to complete my Master's Degree at Antioch University in Applied Psychology with a Marriage and Family Therapy specialization. In counseling, I look to provide relief from difficult situations and specific symptoms that cause distress.  I work primarily from Attachment, Cognitive, and Family Systems perspectives.  These perspectives help me understand the individual, in and of themselves; and also the relationships that influence their lives.​

In my off time, I enjoy spontaneous adventuring with my kids around the PNW, yoga, live music, rock hounding, and reading.
