Mission: I was born and raised in Walla Walla and am deeply attached to this land and community. My mission is to serve this region through my therapeutic and creative work, with a focus on helping others deepen their connection to their bodies.

I support clients’ self-trust, self-understanding, and healing, by helping mend the divide between mind and body that many of us experience. I draw from a wide range of frameworks and practical resources, including traditional talk therapy, movement, dance, and art.

My Priors (the beliefs I bring to my therapeutic work)

1. Our bodies are the literal ground of our being and must be included in therapeutic work.

2. Knowledge and wisdom are not limited to words and intellectual understanding. Feelings, instincts, physical sensations, images, visions, and dreams are other important forms of information.

3. We all have an innate genius and a desire to fulfill our potential on earth. Each of us is the expert of ourselves, but we often acquire mental clutter that gets in the way of knowing ourselves.

4. When all is said and done, Western psychotherapy and the medical model of mental health are not the be-all and end-all of becoming a whole person in the world. Sometimes we need to look deep inside, and sometimes we need to zoom out and see our place in the bigger picture. Therapy plays a role in a larger mosaic that includes community, creativity, nature, family/ancestors, religion/spirituality, and other fun and meaningful aspects of life.     

I currently provide in-person and telehealth therapy, with a practice located in downtown Walla Walla. My areas of specialization include body image issues, life and work transitions, creativity, anxiety, relational issues, issues of young adulthood, existential questions, dissociation, and couples therapy/communication.
