A Little About Me
I was born and raised on the eastside of WA. Other than spending some time in Oregon for my undergrad, I have spent my life here and love the idea of being able to continue contributing to the community and the area with my career as a therapist. I tend to find humor in most things and bring that with me as I move through life. I am also a major animal lover and will fawn over your pet pictures and stories just as much as you will!
My Hobbies
I grew up visiting my great grandma at her home on the coast of Washington. I created a deep love of finding rocks, broken shells, and seaglass, as well as picking up trash. This interest didn’t stop at childhood, and I continue to enjoy finding the beauty in nature and at any given time I can be found with cool trinkets in my pockets. I love spending time with friends, going to shows, playing with my dog, and working on puzzles. My collection of puzzles is quite large!
Education/Experience
I graduated from Seattle University in 2021 with a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy. In 2016, I graduated with my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at Linfield College in Oregon. I completed a yearlong internship with Larch counseling during my Masters program.
While attending graduate school, I also worked as a nanny for a family with two young children. I have spent most of my life working with children in some form. I worked with young kids doing behavior training. During undergrad school, I interned at a Relief Nursery and Montessori school for at-risk children, volunteered as a mentor for 8th grade students at a middle school, as well as helped teach a safe touch workshop at Juliette’s House, a child abuse intervention center in town. I also spent summers in college coaching soccer and managing a sports camp for kids.
