I’m a Reiki Master Teacher, practitioner, and behavioral health counselor based in the Pacific Northwest. My work centers on supporting whole-person healing and honoring the connection between the mind, body, emotions, and nervous system.
My path into energy work began during a time when I was seeking deeper healing beyond what traditional approaches alone could offer. I was introduced to Reiki at a moment when I needed something that felt grounding, supportive, and accessible. That first experience brought a sense of calm, safety, and presence that gently shifted how I understood healing.
Over time, Reiki became an important part of my own process of reconnecting with my body, rebuilding trust in my intuition, and releasing stored stress and emotional tension. I came to understand that healing doesn’t happen all at once—it unfolds gradually through awareness, compassion, and practices that help the nervous system feel safe.
Today, I bring both personal and professional experience into my work. Alongside my Reiki practice, I work in behavioral health, supporting individuals navigating stress, life transitions, and mental health challenges. I also facilitate Reiki and meditation groups that offer practical tools for grounding, emotional balance, and self-connection.
My approach is simple and down to earth: healing doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it begins with slowing down, being supported, and remembering that our bodies already hold deep wisdom.
