Me in a nutshell: I have an affinity with fantasy and have spent an awful lot of time in my mind, and wondering about the minds of others. It is this curiosity that brought me to Psychology and the work I do now. Before receiving my degree and training at Seattle University’s MA in Psychology, I spent 4 years as a behavioral therapist for children and families. Though I learned a lot about behavioral tools, childhood development, parenthood, and neurodivergence, the most meaningful thing I learned was the importance of the relationship between the therapist and client. The rules and structure of behavioralism felt rigid and stifling. It wasn’t right for me, or the way I wanted to serve my clients. I have since moved to an integrative and relational approach to therapy and to being.

I firmly believe there is no “right way” to conduct therapy. There are a plethora of theories and tools that a therapist can use and pull from, and every individual will need something different. The one thing that remains essential is the relationship we create together.

I feel so deeply honored to get to do this work and to have met and known all of my clients. I’m incredibly excited for the clients to come. Each relationship in therapy can be transformative, I know each one has transformed me. This is my life’s work, and I would love to have the opportunity to share it with you.
