I came to the work of therapy first through a deep curiosity about others and about what it means to be a human in this world. This latter question (a deeper, larger question than it might seem on the surface!) is the one that continues to fascinate me, and it is what animates my work.

I first explored this question (and its many offshoots) for myself through art, writing, and poetry, and then, wanting to shift toward sitting with others as they moved through the difficulties and the bright moments of life, I studied psychology and then relational psychotherapy at Lewis & Clark College.

What has deepened my work, not only with perinatal clients but with all clients, has been my experience of matrescence, and noticing all the under-explored opportunities and challenges that exist within this pivotal and deeply confronting process of becoming a mother.

I am a bicoastal therapist, shifting between Oregon and New Hampshire, with most of my time currently spent in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire where I live with my family. Outside of therapy, I like to make art and photographs, write, paint with thread, travel, cook, sing, and read. I also love spending time in nature, picking wild blueberries in the summertime with my daughter and seeing all the wildlife that move across the backyard.
