Hey There

Here's my promise to you:

• I will respect you.

• I will be your advocate.

• I will provide creative, adaptable, evidence-based care that not only meets you where you are at today but can grow with you.

• I acknowledge you are a unicorn, your experience is rare and unlike anyone else’s. I would be honored to accompany you on your journey healing, processing, growing, or anything in between. 

I grew up in a small town in Montana. My upbringing led me to have a deep fondness for mountains, water, the seasons, animals, and rural, agricultural based surroundings. My husband's Navy obligations brought us here to Whidbey Island and I have so enjoyed getting to know the area and all it has to offer. 

​

My baseline personality has been described as bubbly and energetic. Other characteristics include being warm, genuine, attentive, and caring. I am also known to have a dry sense of humor and to be sarcastic at times.  I am active and engaged in all dialogue with my clients while being dedicated to holding space for your voice to shine.

​

I enjoy spending time with my husband, son, dog, and two cats, being active and outside whether I am hiking, running, lifting weights, on the water, doing yoga, or any type of exploring. Nature and movement are so essential to my self-care! Additionally, I love coffee, eating all types of food, and watching HGTV. My favorite animal is a dog or tiger, I absolutely love rainbows, unicorns and glitter, and ever since I can remember I have been passionate about helping others.
