I am a licensed mental health counselor serving individuals and couples in Washington State. I have over 25 years of experience, with a focus on EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness, Somatic Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, CBT and Psychedelic Integration. I work with couples using Gottman and Emotion Focused Therapy approaches. I have a background in community mental health, serving active duty service members and veterants, unhoused adults, and people with severe mental illness and substance abuse.

I earned a Bachelor’s Degree from Columbia University and a Master’s degree in Psychiatric Rehabilitation from Boston University. I completed a Psychosocial Rehabilitation Fellowship at the Veteran’s Administration in San Diego in 2010, with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma. I completed training in EMDR in 2018, and I am a clinical trainer in Motivational Interviewing.

In my free time, I am a cellist, gardener and outdoor enthusiast with a daily yoga and meditation practice. Along with the skills listed above, I believe in the simple power of exercise, breathing and creativity to move emotion and build something positive out of our hardest experiences. We have this time – let’s make the best of it.
