About: We live in a calamity-focused and distraction-driven world. And we don’t need our algorithms to tell us that -  we can feel it. The disconnection. The loneliness. The exhaustion of feeling chronically behind - searching for something - and burnt out all at the same time.

And it is here - in the tension between longing and overwhelm - that hope becomes necessary.

The clients I work with want to believe in hope, even when they are at their wit's end. I take to heart the words of a wise coach, who once said, “I believe in ‘Believe’”. 

Whether you find yourself halted in life by crippling depression or anxiety, confronting relationship issues or losses you can no longer ignore, or wrestling with deeper questions about your purpose and story in this world - I see my role as a guide. Neither rebuking you as some ruthless interrogator nor passively watching you fail again and again.

While I have extensive training and schooling in psychodynamic, humanistic, and existential therapies, I have received most of my post-grad training in systemic and relational work - learning about the Gottman method, Brent Atkinson’s Pragmatic/Experiential therapy, and EFT. And thus, I see myself as sitting at the crossroads of belief and action, head and heart, science and faith; integrating all parts of you into your healing journey.

I received my masters degree in Counseling Psychology at The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology in Seattle, Washington. My bachelor’s degree in psychology was completed at Bethel University in Saint Paul, Minnesota. I have previously worked as a paraprofessional at an elementary school and spent much of my early adulthood in college residence life and summer camp roles.
