I spent the first decade of my career working in substance use disorder treatment. The common thread with mental illness is adversity and trauma. Treating these roots of mental illness and developing resiliency are my professional focus.

​

I focused on Administration and Policy in my Master's in Social Work program at the University of Washington, where I learned to supporting the professional development of others. Professional Development has been a cornerstone of my practice for the past 12 years.

​

After working with birthing and parenting folks for 6 years with overlap in the substance use treatment world, I was inspired to focus on this population as I grew into the mental health field. 

​

I spent 4 years as an integrated therapist in an OB-BYN/Midwifery office, working collaboratively with other health care providers. During this time, I completed my certification in Perinatal Mental Health and my certification in EMDR.

​

In my private practice, I became certified in Lifespan Integration. I use a holistic big picture approach to therapy that takes internal and external factors into consideration and relies on both development of conscious coping skills and somatosensory integration of past trauma. Together we will gain insight into the systems you inhabit in the past, present and future, regulate your nervous system and pave the way to empowerment and resilience.

​

As a consultant for Lifespan Integration, it brings me great fulfillment to support other clinicians in their journey to refine their skills and be the difference they wish to be in the world.
