WELCOME!

It is my utmost aspiration to meet each wonderfully unique client with the support and genuineness that is so essential to a therapeutic alliance. I believe that we all have the strength to overcome and endure but, at times, need an open heart and ear to bear witness of our trials and understand our emotions. My approach to counseling is providing a safe, nonjudgmental space where each client can work alongside me to develop effective skills and strategies that will result in positive life changes.

I was born here in Washington and love the outdoors of the PNW. I love traveling, hiking and good food. In my spare time I enjoy caring for my plants, son, two cats and painting and cooking. I chose counseling as my profession from inspiration as a client of therapy myself. I was able to learn self-love and radical acceptance throughout the years of support that was given to me by my own counselors.
