This work, and me: I have an affinity for 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 MA in Psychology at Seattle University, I spent 4 years as a behavioral therapist for children and families. I learned a lot; About tools, childhood development, parenthood, but 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. Tools are meant to be picked up and put down. They may assist us on the therapeutic journey, but they are not at the center of our work. I am much more interested in exploring your emotional world, and the stories that are important to you, and have found those things are often the drivers of change.

I feel so deeply honored to get to share time with my clients and 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.
