About Me:

With a deep love for the forest I can be found backpacking all summer, dreaming all winter, walking my dog, swearing at my sewing machine, and making art.

I am gender-affirming, LGBTQ+ allied, and neuro-affirming. I am committed to social justice and to learning a decolonial approach to therapy. I identify as a midlife, white, queer, cis-woman, and lifelong dreamer. I provide therapy for adults only and enjoy working with all abilities, genders, sexualities, and relationship orientations. I stay present, patient, and alert to each client’s unique therapeutic goals. Embracing humanistic, phenomenological principles, I have studied a depth psychodynamic approach to dream interpretation and the unconscious.

As an artist and bodyworker, I offer depth of experience in somatic art techniques, energy work, breath exercises, meditation, and creative visualization. I strive to use these meditative techniques when I create my own art and love facilitating clients to find their own intuitive art-making abilities. In group therapy, co-creating safe community spaces for engaging and daring art experimentation is at my core.

I am a member of Shelterwood Collective where I completed my internship for Antioch University. Additionally, I am a member of American Counseling Association, Counselors for Social Justice, and SAIGE (Society for Sexual, Affectional, Intersex, and Gender Expansive Identities). I am a certified herbalist, a tarot reader, therapeutic touch practitioner, and intuitive medium. I work part time as a recreation attendant for Seattle Parks and Recreation Specialized Programs for adults with disabilities and as a peer-counselor for The Healing Center who provides free grief support groups in Washington State.
