I am thrilled to have found my way to Treehouse after a lifetime of experience working with children in different capacities, including nannying, non-profit work with teens, and most recently in elementary education. I am passionate about creating spaces in which children's most authentic selves are seen, honored, loved, and celebrated, and I'm excited to work with a program that feels so aligned with these values.
​
In addition, I am pursuing my master's in clinical mental health counseling with hopes to become a registered play therapist upon completion of my degree. It is my dream to one day open a center that integrates play, art, and eco therapies for children and families in such a way that provides deep, lasting healing from the effects of trauma and re-homes individuals in Earth-centered communities.
​
In my spare time, I enjoy reading and writing poetry, meditating, being with loved ones, visiting art galleries, and foraging and wildcrafting. As a recent transplant from Colorado, I am so excited to experience more of the beautiful abundance the Northwest has to offer!
