About Me

I am a gender queer (she/they), female-bodied, mother in my mid-40s, and much more. I have lived experience with some of the areas I now specialize in as a therapist. My ancestry is predominantly Norwegian and Scottish, along with traces from northern, western and eastern Europe. I was born and raised in the region many call the Pacific Northwest, in a blended family with multiple siblings, on the unceded stolen indigenous lands of a diverse array of tribes. I am engaged and evolving with the continual process of coming to terms with my whiteness. I value being in relationship with plants and animals; gardening; preparing and sharing nourishing foods; engaging in dance and movement practices; being with family and friends and lovers; swimming in natural waters; participating in community service and activism; singing in groups; and creative expression through various art forms such as creative writing and photography.
