A Little About Me
I grew up in the Snoqualmie Valley and am well acquainted with our small yet growing area! I spent my undergraduate studies in Boise, Idaho and upon completion decided that I missed the rain and wanted to move back to Washington. I landed in Bellingham, where I lived for five years before moving to Seattle, then back to the Snoqualmie Valley with my partner, Ben, and our two border collies. I absolutely love the Pacific Northwest and believe it is such a gift to be able to support the community in which I was raised.
My Hobbies
It’s a running joke within my circle that there are competing sides of me. The outgoing adventurer that enjoys camping, skiing, hiking, biking, and spending quality time connecting with friends and family, and the quieter introvert that prefers to make a latte at home and curl up with a good book – whose goal it is to take some pottery classes in an attempt to lean into more creative outlets. I also am a new owner of a drastically overgrown garden that I don’t know what to do with, so I imagine that will become a hobby here soon. One of my favorite things to think about is how we all embody multitudes, and where and how those versions of ourselves impact our lives.
Education/Experience
I received my Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Seattle Pacific University in the summer of 2024. I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Boise State University in 2016. I have spent the majority of my career working in the social work field helping to support children, parents, and families experiencing hardship. These settings include a children’s hospital and foster care nonprofits. Throughout graduate school I continued that work while also interning here at Larch Counseling.
