I am a psychotherapist based in Bellingham, WA offering Telehealth therapy to women, queer, and gender-expansive individuals living in WA state. 

I grew up on Whidbey Island where I spent a good deal of my childhood outside, exploring the forests and beaches and moving with the slower pace of island life. I spent a brief 4 years in South Dakota earning an undergraduate degree in English with a minor in Media Studies. After returning to the PNW, I took a number of years working several jobs before my own deeply transformative experience in therapy sparked a desire to go back to school for counseling.

I am so glad this work found me. It is my joy to support people in these liminal spaces where discomfort, uncertainty, and fear loom large. My own experience with relational hurt and grief has led me to believe that connection helps with tolerating uncertainty, connection can alchemize fear into compassionate curiosity. This is my hope and therapeutic intent: that my clients will be able to create new patterns of relating that allow themselves to more flexibly and resiliently embrace the joys and pains of life. 

I have a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology and am working towards full licensure under the supervision of Palmer Richardson LH61104550.
