in the psychology of women. I also studied Environmental Science and Creative Writing. I have my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology with an Emphasis in Depth Psychology from Pacifica
Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, California. I have additional training in trauma disorders and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, a form of therapy which helps with emotional regulation through the use of mindfulness meditation.

Supervision:
I participate in consultation/supervision with other mental health professionals to ensure the quality of my work. I also participate in my own personal therapy on an ongoing basis.
Experience:
I began my clinical training in 2002 as an intern for Catholic Community Services in Bellingham, Washington. I worked with inpatient and outpatient children, adolescents, and their families. From 2004-2007 I worked for Whatcom Counseling and Psychiatric Clinic, initially as part of a grant for working with individuals suffering from trauma disorders. I started my private practice in 2007, and in 2008 worked for Catholic Community Service's Children's Hospitalization Alternative Program. My private psychotherapy practice is now in Seattle, Washington where I treat individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, and other life transitions.
Volunteer Experience:
I currently volunteer for the Clinic Without Walls and the CG Jung Society. In the past I have volunteered with Whatcom Hospice, Sound Experience, and HOWL (a wildlife rehabilitation program in Lynnwood, WA) as well as other organizations.
