I’m a licensed psychologist, community educator, and micro nursery owner with a passion for cultivating people-plant connections.

A long-time PNW resident, I began my own educational journey as a first generation community college student in 1990. Over the past twenty-five years, I’ve gardened in yards, boulevards, balconies, and rooftops, and on our former 2.5 acre Portland farm. I’m a certified King County (WSU Extension) Master Gardener and currently reside in the greater Seattle area.

Many of my classes include ample time for Q&A, with opportunities to engage at the level that works for you. Want to learn more? Don’t hesitate to reach out with questions.
