My self-discovery and wellness journey began in my early 20s and has been ongoing as I’ve learned to navigate multiple autoimmune diagnoses and have expanded my understanding of the mind-body connection and the impact of stress on health. This was also when I began my lifelong journey as both a therapy client and yoga practitioner—two practices which have been instrumental in my growth.

Through safe therapeutic relationships and the practice of yoga on and off the mat, I’ve learned to find more safety and comfort in relationships, in my body and the present moment, and more tolerance for discomfort. I’ve learned to love and honor my body, despite its sensitivities. Early in my own therapy journey, I felt called to this work with the hope of one day becoming a therapist myself.

I spent my late 20s and 30s living abroad in Austria where I deepened my yoga practice, began teaching yoga alongside working in a corporate tech setting, and explored many alternative wellness paths in search of greater self-understanding and healing. As my husband and I were preparing to move with our young family to Seattle in 2020, I felt more ready than ever to make a career shift, returning to school to study counseling psychology and fully committing to the path I am most passionate about.

I bring a holistic, body-aware, and trauma-informed approach to therapy, drawing on diverse training and lived experience. My goal is to offer a supportive, inclusive space where all parts of you are welcome.

When I’m not geeking out on psychology and neuroscience, my time is filled with adventures with my young kiddos, exploring nature, trail running, practicing yoga, playing tennis, skiing, enjoying music and concerts, spending time with friends and family, and traveling. Most of our travel time these days is spent in Austria where my husband is from and my children were born.
