About me

I'm a proud nerd hailing from the Pacific Northwest, where coffee and board games reign supreme. Video games of all genres captivate me, and I indulge my creativity by crafting tabletop role-playing games, with Dungeons and Dragons and Chess holding special places in my heart. Balancing my physical, mental, and emotional well-being is paramount, and I find solace in exploring bushcraft, medieval culture, and traditional bow hunting.

My love for fiction, especially science fiction and fantasy, fuels my imagination, while my transition from city life to country living offers new adventures daily. Born and raised in Olympia, WA, I've traversed the Puget Sound region, from Tacoma to Seattle, and now call Shelton home, where I reside on a small farm with my family, tending to our garden and livestock.

My journey took me overseas and across the United States, including a stint in the USMC, sadly cut short by injury. After a brief career as a personal trainer, I discovered my passion for psychology during college, embarking on a path that led me to various roles in mental health since 2016. From community mental health to family crisis intervention and intensive care planning, I've served diverse populations, including developmentally disabled adults, children, and families.

In 2022, I launched my private practice, drawing from a blend of existential humanism, positive psychology, positive disintegration, and ludotherapy to guide my clients towards growth and healing. It's been an enriching journey, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to support others on their paths to well-being.
