About Me

I have a Master’s degree in Psychology from Antioch University. My degree program had a strong multicultural emphasis and focused on mental health counseling and psychotherapy for individual adults.

My post-graduate training includes seminars and classes on a variety of topics, including trauma, clinical applications of mindfulness, attachment theory, and clinical supervision. In 2014, I completed the two-year psychodynamic psychotherapy program at the Alliance Community Psychotherapy Clinic. In 2013, I completed a two-year training program in Somatic Transformation, an approach to working with trauma that integrates neurobiology, attachment theory, and psychodynamic approaches to therapy.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Washington (#LH00010936) and a Florida Registered Out-of-state Telehealth Provider (#TPMC2100). I also belong to the Washington Mental Health Counselors Association and the Women’s Therapy Collective.

My additional experience includes seven years as a facilitator of a support group for adult children of people with dementia and Alzheimer's disease, and two years as an adjunct faculty member at Antioch University.

I am also a Level 4 Usui Reiki practitioner. For information about my trauma-informed Reiki practice, please see my website at www.CascadiaReiki.com.
