I received my Bachelors in Communication from Seattle Pacific University. After several years of international travel and nonprofit fundraising work, I shifted directions and began studying psychology. Several years later I received my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology and completed an internship at Compass Health Children’s Extended Care, working with kids and adolescents. I later joined the staff at The Seattle School as a Practicum Facilitator, training first year counseling students in a personal and group format.  I have been in private practice since 2005. I regularly seek opportunities to learn and grow in my work. Much of my work is informed by my psychoanalytically-oriented clinical mentors. In addition to this I recently completed a year-long course focused on psychoanalytic thinking. I find this way of thinking about and being with people to be deeply meaningful.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LH60067824) in the State of Washington and am a member of the Northwest Alliance for Psychoanalytic Study (NWAPS).
