I completed my BA at the University of Washington with a degree in psychology and my MA in psychology at Seattle University.  Before going back to school I spent over twelve years working in the music business.   I am also a musician and take the creative processes very seriously, thus being able to help guide the artist to achieve balance between creativity and the choices they make in their lives.

I worked for almost 3 years doing highly rewarding work as a therapist in community mental health working with chronically mentally ill people.  Since 2008 I have been in private practice at the Ballard Counseling Group.
