I am a licensed mental health counselor in Bellingham, Washington. I have been a therapist since 2014, and I have worked in social services since 2007. I have experience working with youth and adults in lots of contexts including complex trauma, peer conflict, behavioral issues, gender and sexuality, and adoption.

I am passionate about working with marginalized populations and with those who feel they don’t fit within societal constructs. I’m a queer woman and parent and this informs my practice and my world construct. I am supportive of all gender expressions, sexual orientations, and family compilations. I work with an anti oppression framework to support individuals in seeing systemic injustices both externally and internally and challenging these ideals. I strive to support and encourage my clients in creating a better world for themselves and others in the present and future.

I provide therapy in an encouraging and validating setting with direct and honest feedback and a hint of fun. I believe in the ability to change and in our abilities to find grace within and for ourselves.

When I am not counseling I am often found with my goats, dogs, cats, or loved ones in the woods or on the river. I spend alot of time staring at plants, growing plants, and forgetting to weed the garden. Life can be like that sometimes.
