Therapy is a collaborative growth-oriented process based on trust. Together, we will discuss your immediate concerns and the challenges that brought you to therapy. Your history explains who you are; your therapy goals define the scope of our work. As your therapeutic partner, we will work to relieve distress, process trauma and losses, and resolve barriers to a more engaged and fulfilling life. I received a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology, with an emphasis in Depth Psychology, from Pacifica Graduate Institute. My thesis, “Symbol Formation: The Meaning Making Function of the Psyche,” explored healing of the inner Self. My education included developmental, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, existential, attachment - based, and family systems therapy approaches. Drawing from these evidence-based theories informs my approach for an individualized treatment trajectory. My clinical training was at Whatcom Community Mental Health Clinic in Bellingham, Washington, in outpatient counseling with adults and families. Following this I joined Journey Mental Health in Meridian, Idaho. These experiences provided the foundation for my private practice through teletherapy with adult individuals. Originally from Washington State, I worked in commercial design prior to returning to graduate school and a second career. I enjoy my work as a therapist and look forward to being part of your journey.
