Therapist Biography
I have a life-long interest in the study of human nature and began my formal education by completing a Bachelor of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology at Eastern Washington University. I worked while completing my degree at Eastern State Hospital on a locked psychiatric unit for 5 years as a Mental Health Technician and interacted directly with patients.
​
I worked for an additional 5 years as a Washington State registered Vocational Counselor and helped injured workers to identify new career paths. I then entered a Master's program in Clinical Psychology at Antioch University in Seattle and earned my degree in 2004. Immediately after graduation I opened a private therapy practice in the Fremont neighborhood and am currently seeing clients.
​
I actively participate in ongoing education and personal growth work to enhance the professioinal skills I utilize to help improve the quality of life for those I serve. I strive to live my teachings and am caringly dedicated to my profession.
