About Me

Hi there!

I'm a trauma-focused, bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist in Washington State and Oregon. I work with adults and teens​ who carry difficult childhood experiences who feel stuck in patterns of self doubt, shame, and people pleasing to help them feel more confident, trust themselves, and live with more ease and joy.

I’m a cisgender, white woman of primarily Irish and Swedish descent, born and raised in the Seattle area on the ancestral lands of the Puyallup and Muckleshoot tribes.

I lived and worked in southern Mexico and the Guatemalan highlands for 8 years and am fluent in Spanish. While I’m not Latinx, I have deep respect for the immigrant experience and extensive experience working with individuals navigating immigration trauma and cultural transitions in all 3 countries and throughout Latin America.

Outside of the therapy room, you’ll find me in nature hiking, backpacking, sailing, paddleboarding, and spending as much time as possible in or near the water. I believe nature is one of the most powerful healers, and for many clients, our work together may include grounding, mindfulness, or reflection inspired by the natural world.

I love dancing, reading, and cooking food from the places I’ve lived or visited (cookbooks are always my souvenir of choice!).
