Nice to meet you!

I have been working with individuals with a focus on trauma healing since 2013 and have been in private practice since 2016.  Over the years, I have broadened my work by offering clinical supervision to LMHCAs and workshops/trainings to various audiences on topics related to trauma-informed practices. I am also a Senior Instructor in Western Washington University's Psychology Department. I LOVE the environment of a college campus and appreciate being able to share my knowledge of clinical psychology with students. I am also a part of Bellingham's Sexual & Domestic Violence Commission. Being a part of this group gives me an opportunity to work with community leaders to try and make systems easier to navigate for survivors of violence.
​And lastly, on a personal note, my favorite way to spend my time is with my two dogs, Little Ladle and Turkey.
