In 4th grade, when someone asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I said I wanted to be a philosopher (I get now why the adults around me thought this answer was funny). I have always been drawn to life’s big questions, and deeply appreciate the role that literature and art have played in helping me wrestle with some of the juiciest ones.  In grad school I watched an old interview with Rollo May, a pioneer of existential therapy, where he talked about psychotherapy as being one of the main cultural vehicles we have in this era for exploring life’s big questions. That’s exactly what I’m interested in helping people navigate - how to build a meaningful life and deep connection to self in a confusing world. I absolutely adore my job, and can’t believe I am so fortunate to love going to work every day as much as I do. 

My approach draws from multiple sources; in addition to my training in EMDR, I am informed by training in Hakomi, a somatic mindfulness technique, as well as my own Vipassana meditation practice. My style is frank, playful and deeply pragmatic while also rooted in a trust in intuition (both yours and my own). Prior to becoming a therapist, I have worked in startups, the corporate world, and education. I am working under the supervision of Lacie Braun, LHMC

I live in Seattle with my partner and our two kids. In my free time, I love to garden, read as many books as possible, and listen to Adrienne Lanker while doing the dishes. I am also a beginning sewist, following my long-held dream to sew my own capsule wardrobe.

I am also a member of the Generative Healing Arts collective.
