I see you. I believe in you. I care.

I grew up in a small country home in the Northwest. Much of my growing up years were spent with my family exploring the mountains near our home.  I still love spending time in nature with my friends, my family, and my dog (my cat would come if I let him!). I also enjoy gardening, reading, singing, and spending time with my two children. 

I also have very personal experiences of surviving abuse in a religious setting. The caring help I received in my healing process is what has inspired me to be trained in how to become a part of the healing process for others.

I've been a registered nurse since 2009 but have always had a curious fascination about counseling and mental health. In the midst of my own personal pain and struggle in healing from several forms of abuse, one of my counselors introduced me to life coaching.  I enrolled in a life coaching program and obtained my certification in 2019.
