I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Washington and a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from Western Washington University.  I have over 14 years of experience working in community mental health, education, and hospital-based social work and have been in private practice since 2012.

My practice specialize in women’s health with my areas of focus being trauma/PTSD, anxiety, grief/loss, and life transitions. During my years as a social worker and mental health therapist I have been privileged to be a part of the lives of many women as they transition through fertility, birth, parenting, school/work transitions, grief/loss, and a variety of medical conditions.  I also enjoy working with young people transitioning from high school into more independent lives.

My first position in the mental health field was with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps.  I strive to continue to incorporate this program’s values of social justice, simplicity, and community into both my practice and my personal life.  When not at work, I enjoy knitting, bike riding, playing with my dog and car, and seeking out adventures with my husband and 2 boys.
