BIO

I work at the intersection of human experience and creative practice — as a clinician, writer, researcher, and visual artist.

My clinical training is a Master of Science in Couple and Family Therapy, with a focus on couples, older adults, and caregivers navigating the emotional and relational terrain of mid- to later life. I hold a certificate in gerontology and a BA in psychology. I am the author of Caring is Art: Gifts of Appreciation & Encouragement for Caregivers.

I offer individual and group coaching support to parents, older adults, and caregivers, including art-based group workshops.

As a writer and independent researcher, I translate evidence from psychology, gerontology, and family therapy into essays and articles that contemplate both the science and the human experience behind it. My writing addresses caregiving, grief, ADHD, aging, and the relationships that shape how people endure difficult passages. I am drawn to topics that are underrecognized — losses that go unnamed, conditions that go undertreated, experiences that people carry largely alone.

My visual art practice is foundational to the rest of my work. My paintings and prints — ranging to architectural scale — inhabit the space between abstraction and environment, exploring human experience and the rhythms of nature. My work is available through Wescover and my shop.

I am based in the Pacific Northwest.
