Meet your Guide
I love being a counselor. Since my youth, I have sought to care for others by listening to their stories. This passion has formed and directed me to become a trained counselor, so that I may join others in the beautiful mess of cultivating healing, wholeness, and peace in the midst of great heartbreak, sorrow, and trauma.
Those who know me well say that I am kindhearted, playful, creative, and intuitive. Besides being a therapist, I am a loving mother, an artist, a wife, a poet, a board game enthusiast, and a believer in Christ.
Education and Training
In June of 2010, I graduated from Seattle Pacific University with a BA in Educational Ministry and a minor in Studio Arts. The following year, I lived in Dublin, Ireland for a year, where I stumbled upon wonderful hosts, art therapists, mentors, artists and storytellers. These relationships inspired me to pursue a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology, in order to build the foundation to support others’ healing.
In 2016, I graduated from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology, an intense curriculum where I learned and practiced depth work with individual’s trauma narratives. In the last year of my master’s program, I interned with MEND (Seattle Therapy Alliance) as a therapist for women, and have become a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (License # LH 60923792). I am a member of the Northwest Alliance of Psychoanalytic Study.
I love this work, because I get to see people grow and change. It can be painful; it is often messy; and it is never easy, but it is beautiful work.
Feel free to contact me with any questions or to set up a first appointment. I am excited to meet you, as I heartily believe you have a unique story and unique way of being in the world that is worth cherishing.
