For over 15 years, I have been working therapeutically with a wide range of people presenting with a broad array of issues.
I came to this profession after careers in international education and students affairs, with AFS as the Director of Field Operations and Reed College as the Associate Dean of Students.
I strive to understand my clients’ concerns and worldviews within the context of societal, cultural, and contextual factors. Having lived abroad for many years, I have always admired how people can leave their supportive families, communities and cultures – not only surviving, but thriving.
I gravitated to this profession with a greater understanding of the resilience in all of us. I am from the San Juan Islands and gain perspective from our powerful blue Pacific.
