Therapy is a personal journey, where your inner knowing naturally seeks better health. Finding the right therapist is crucial for the healing process. My mission is to guide those committed to personal healing. I believe the right connection with a therapist happens when the time is right. I aim to be a skilled guide during these times and would be honored to witness your unique journey toward better health.
I have a background in helping people, blending formal education and life experience. I earned my B.A. from the University of Minnesota and started working in child welfare advocacy. Over 15 years, I served as a guardian ad litum, foster parent, parent advocate, and child abuse/neglect specialist. I also lived and worked internationally in Mexico, Greece, and Sweden, which greatly influenced my professional perspective.
A year in Sweden created a lasting love and connection to the country. In 1997, I pursued my MSW at the University of Washington, opening new professional opportunities. This led me to shift my focus towards a more meaningful and profound approach to therapy, combining my experience, skills, and multicultural background.
