For most of my life I have been extremely curious about the connections between the brain and body and how, in therapy, we can intentionally lean into our body’s innate desire for health and joy. When I started training for a career in mental health at The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology it felt natural to focus on this brain+body interaction primarily by undergoing specialized training in how to mobilize neuroplasticity in therapy called Complex Integration of Multiple Brain Systems (CIMBS). Naturally someone who loves “newness,” this approach to continually tuning in to the new present moment available to all of us is a natural fit. This method has proven extremely successful in working with women with depression, anxiety and trauma. My work is also significantly informed by relational psychodynamic therapy and attachment research.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and also a licensed Clinical Supervisor, which allows me to support other therapists as they develop their own new skills. I specialize in helping women who do not feel valued or seen, women who feel overwhelmed with anxiety, and women who feel disconnected from their bodies and at war with themselves.

Born in Seattle, I lived with my family in a variety of places around the world while growing up, eventually landing at Pepperdine University for undergraduate studies. I’ve lived back in Seattle for over a decade now and call Seattle my “forever home,” spending as much time as possible outside and by the water. My best days are spent on a boat, on a trail, or experiencing something new with my husband and kids.
