My pronouns are she/her. If all you see is my picture, you cannot tell you that I have tremendous internal strength and resilience. You would not know that I am bisexual. Or know that being in nature is the best spiritual experience I can ever have. Or that I love to hike, bike, and kayak. That I love to read and learn or that I really, really love to nap. You cannot tell the scars that I carry on my body and in my heart. And you would not know my process of reconstructing my race, religion, gender, sexuality, age, and position of privilege. It is my constant desire to become a fuller version of who I was born to be.

I received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Grand Canyon University and a Master’s in Arts in Counseling Psychology from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology. I am a licensed mental health counselor associate in the state of Washington.
