About Me

After receiving a doctorate in developmental psychology at University of Washington, a certificate in Infant Mental Health, and post-graduate studies at the Center for Infant Mental Health, I began my career teaching undergraduates at Seattle Pacific University for 11 years. For my research at UW and SPU, I investigated visual preferences, language perception, temperament, and attachment in infants.  It was my passion and mission to teach others how to understand the forces driving development throughout the lifespan. 

After a decade in academia, I felt the need to "practice what I teach" and decided to go back to UW to get my masters in clinical social work. I now divide my time between my own part-time private practice, working at a clinic where I specialize in the attachment and social-emotional needs of young children, and delighting in my own three school-aged children. 

Underlying all of my work is a deep call to social justice, respect for the huge diversity of the human condition, and an awe for our common need to be in loving relationships with others. 

I am thrilled to offer the Seattle community over 20 years of experience learning, teaching, researching, and treating infants, children, and families in need. 

My fees

I am contracted with Regence and Premera at this time. For those out of these networks, my rate is $150/ 50-55 min session. I do offer a sliding scale based on family income. I am happy to provide a “super bill” for clients to submit to insurance towards their out-of-network deductible, or to seek reimbursement from an HSA account.

My office

Right now I am 100% telehealth, which seems to be the preferred modality for busy adults at this time. Let me know if this is a barrier to you receiving care.
