ABOUT

I received my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Art Therapy from Antioch University Seattle in 2002. I have been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) by the state of Washington since 2006 and have been a Board Certified Art Therapist (ATR-BC) since then as well.

I have worked in the field in a variety of settings including inpatient services, outpatient community mental health, a wellness center, a residential drug and alcohol treatment facility for adolescents, and a day treatment setting for preschool-aged children. I am grateful for the range of experiences I have had working with people of all ages individually and in groups. In addition to having a private therapy practice, I also provide art therapy supervision for professionals training to be Registered Art Therapists and I am an Adjunct Faculty Member at Antioch University Seattle in the graduate Art Therapy program.

I took my first yoga teacher training with Ana Forrest and Shari Friedrichsen in 1998 and was certified by them in 1999. I am certified in prenatal yoga and am also an Integrated Movement Therapist, certified by Molly Lannon Kenny and Stephanie Sisson of The Samarya Center in Seattle. I am a Registered Yoga Teacher with the Yoga Alliance.
