About Me

My journey toward founding Harvest Moon Counseling has been shaped by both personal experience and professional purpose. As someone who has witnessed firsthand the power of healing, growth, and human connection, I’ve long been inspired to create a space where others can access the same support and transformation that have shaped my own life. Every day, I am moved by the courage, insight, and resilience of the people I work with—and I hope that through this work, I’m able to inspire others just as deeply as my clients inspire me.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) serving clients remotely across Washington State. My approach combines clinical expertise with compassion, providing trauma-informed, evidence-based care that meets each client where they are.
