Biography
I’ve been at PLU since 2013, and continue to appreciate having this as my professional home. My career into MFT was a winding one: I worked briefly as a registered nurse before looking into medical family therapy and completing my masters and doctoral degrees in MFT. Some of my current professional interests include working with couples and parents of young children, spirituality in therapy, and development of contextually-sensitive and socially-just pedagogy. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our three children on our six-acre farm in Buckley.
