Welcome to Emergence Counseling & Consulting, LLC

 I am a human systems therapist, mother, and executive healthcare leader bringing experience across mental health, organizational consulting, and trauma stewardship to my work with clients. Rooted in a belief in our inherent goodness and wholeness, my approach is to support clients in reconnecting with themselves, their bodies, the natural world, their inner wisdom, and capacity for healing. I offer a compassionate, safe space for those navigating transitions, burnout, existential questioning, uncertainty and a longing to live with greater purpose, meaning and connection. 

 I hold a Master’s Degree of Arts in Applied Behavioral Science, Counseling from Bastyr University. My graduate program focused on Family Systems Therapy, and I did my internship at Compass Health in Snohomish County. My early clinical work focused on working with adults with severe and persistent mental illness in the community mental health setting. I worked in private practice for a short time, then made the leap to health care leadership and consulting where I’ve spent the last 20 plus years leading mental health service lines and coaching leaders in large healthcare organizations.
