She/Her/Hers. I recognize that I hold the privileges of being a white, cis, heterosexual, neurotypical, average bodied, and non-disabled person, which impacts my experiences in this world. I practice on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish people and would like to express gratitude for the land and the people who have steward it throughout generations.

A little about me:

I am deeply grateful to have been born and raised in the Pacific Northwest! I became a therapist because therapy has been a transformative tool in my life, and I wanted to help others experience that same growth. I’m an INFJ, an HSP, and a feminist through and through. I absolutely love animals and have a pittie mix named Viggo and a grey kitty named Frida. I am also a partner and a mom (through the experience of adoption) to one human child. 

In my free time, you’ll often find me outdoors with my family, reading, making things, riding my bike or lifting weights. And I'm a fan of garbage television.
