I am a therapist and speaker in Seattle, WA. I am passionate about supporting people as they face challenges, becoming freer and more authentic. Through my own experiences, I understand the terrain of shifting old patterns that no longer serve. One of my favorite quotes is: “Faith is walking to the edge of all you have and taking one more step." Through my own practice of taking one more step, I have learned how to transform old patterns, releasing our true potential.

I received a Master’s degree in Human Development and Family Studies at the University of Illinois and a PhD in Family Social Science and Family Therapy at the University of Minnesota. My studies in mental health and neuroplasticity have given me the experience that we can create a healthier brain to make a happier life.
