My Story

I grew up on beautiful Bainbridge Island in the Puget Sound region of Washington State. I went to school at Western Washington University, then earned my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University.

​

I became a counselor out of a deep desire for meaningful connection and a recognition of the growing need for mental health support in our communities. I believe therapy is not only for moments of crisis or when something feels “wrong”—it is an essential part of overall wellbeing and personal growth, helping us live more connected, authentic, and balanced lives.

​

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family and our mastiff puppy, gardening, cozying up with a good movie, baking, doing yoga, riding my spin bike, and weight training. I am passionate about living authentically and building meaningful connections in every area of my life. I feel grateful to be living my dream of helping, healing, and connecting with others through my work as a counselor.
