I became a therapist because I was curious about something I'm still curious about today: why people who love each other can have such a hard time reaching each other.

That curiosity has shaped how I work. I'm less interested in figuring out who's right or wrong and more interested in understanding what's happening between people, especially when they keep finding themselves in the same frustrating place.

I have a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, and my work with individuals and couples is grounded in attachment theory and the belief that our experiences shape how we show up in relationships. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I'll ask questions, offer perspective, and sometimes challenge you, but I also believe there's room for humor and being human in the therapy room.

I see clients in a cozy yurt on Bainbridge Island, by the fire in winter and with the windows open when the weather allows. It's a little different from a traditional therapy office, and that's intentional. I also offer telehealth throughout Washington State.

Outside of work, I'm a mother, a daily walker, a beginner horseback rider, and someone who's endlessly interested in relationships, including my own.

If something here resonates, I'd love to hear from you.
