My psychotherapy practice helps people open to their experience so they can effectively create joy and meaning in their lives and let go of the life-patterns that limit them. Having spent four years within a Buddhist order, I use my training in mindfulness to help others explore their embodied mind and develop calm confidence. After traveling widely, I trained as a therapist, receiving my MA in Existential Phenomenological Therapeutic Psychology from Seattle University. I am a nationally certified counselor and licensed in Washington as a mental health counselor. I worked for five years as a psychotherapist in community mental health, treating the chronically mentally ill. Currently, my office is located at Ahimsa Counseling Services. I see patients in my private practice on Mondays through Fridays.
