A Bit About Me

I’m sure you might want to know a bit about who you might be working with. Well here’s a lil bit about me…

I am originally from St. Louis, MO, and have also spent time living in Alabama and North Carolina in my adult life. I moved out to the the PNW in 2020 to start grad school at The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology where I graduated with my Masters in Counseling Psychology in 2024. Although I sometimes miss aspects of the Midwest, I feel deeply at home here in the Pacific Northwest. I have long been emotionally and spiritually drawn to trees and immediately fell in love with the fuzzy green trees of the PNW. Living out here has also grown my relationship with the Earth in general in her many different forms. I believe that we have a lot to learn from nature- those who work with me quickly learn that gardening is one of my favorite metaphors for the healing process. I am also working my way through Seattle’s pizza restaurants to try to find the best slice of ‘za this city has to offer. So far Lupo, A.K. Pizza, Tivoli, and My Friend Derek’s are at the top of the leaderboard.

I have been in my own personal therapy on and off for the past 10 years and am grateful for the lineage of healers that have shaped both my own story and my approach to therapy. I have also had my own healing experiences with ketamine assisted psychotherapy and know the power it can hold towards change and newness.

I consider myself to be a creative, thoughtful, deep, and playful person and I care deeply about (re)connecting people to Love. I’m an enneagram 4w5, an INFP, and I consider myself to be a highly sensitive person. During my off time I might be found doing ceramics, gardening, dancing, hanging out with friends, reading, baking, or spending time moving my body outside.
