Life can be messy, weird, confusing, and difficult to navigate. Maybe you’ve noticed old patterns no longer serve you, or a recent life transition has been hard. It would be my honor to walk alongside you and make whatever you are going through feel a little less daunting.

I approach therapy with practicality, curiosity, and focus, using evidence-based, personalized approaches grounded in neuroscience. From the classroom setting to direct crisis intervention at the hospital, I have learned how stress and trauma show up in the body. I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches, customizing the work to fit you. As a therapist, my role is to help you define and achieve the change you desire. I am here to provide the structure that helps you achieve your desired outcomes. Together, we will set tangible goals and objectives so that the markers of progress are visible along the way.

Humans are resilient. Our brains are flexible. Our ability to change is beautiful and exciting. But change isn’t easy or effortless.  We need friction and barriers to grow. Meaningful therapy isn’t just supportive listening and validation. Like anything worthwhile, lasting change requires real, consistent effort within sessions, and outside of them as well.

I am continually inspired by my clients. Getting to be part of someone’s healing journey is something I honor deeply. When you’re ready to do the work, I will be there to support you.

Outside of therapy, I enjoy the beauty of the Pacific Northwest while hiking, skiing, mountain biking, foraging, crabbing. I also enjoy creative pursuits such as photography, sewing, and crafting, and feel fulfilled by live music, yoga, and community.
