Prior to pursuing my counseling career, I worked in both administrative and direct care roles within non-profit and educational settings. Born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska, I live in Eugene, Oregon with my husband, three children, and our adorable goldendoodle, Ozzy. I thrive by moving my body in nature, and am a three-time marathoner. I quickly get absorbed reading memoirs, literary fiction, and the latest in psychology and neuroscience.

The presence of my first therapist was healing and inspiring at a critical point in my life. I had never before sat with someone so tuned in and attentive, who saw me, who was able to pull out the important questions, and who remembered my stories and patiently walked along with me to the other side. It is my desire to create a unique space of processing, healing, and growth for you, similar to those that have been provided for me.

I utilize an integrative, anti-racist, and trauma-informed approach in my work, drawing from Person-Centered, Internal Family Systems, Attachment Theory, Mindfulness, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Somatic, and Mindful Self-Compassion techniques in my practice.
