Prior to becoming a therapist, my background included several years of work in non-profits focusing on advocacy, outreach, and crisis support for teens, adults, and LGBTQ+ populations. I decided to pursue training in systems psychotherapy because I believe in the potential for relational work to facilitate profound change and healing. For the past three years I have worked closely with other LGBTQ+ individuals, relationships, and families to heal from trauma and relational wounds.

I hold a master’s degree in Couple and Family Therapy from Antioch University Seattle and a certificate of specialization in sex therapy from Antioch University Seattle. I am currently pursuing AASECT certification, and continue to seek ongoing education and training in trauma-informed care and anti-oppression frameworks.
