I’m running to represent you
I represent Republicans, Democrats, and Independents who want practical leadership from someone who understands the realities of running a business, balancing a budget, supporting employees, and raising a family in our community.
Raised in Whatcom County, I chose to build my life here, raise my family here, and invest in the community I love. As a clinical psychologist and founder of Touchstone Counseling Group, I see firsthand the challenges families, businesses, and healthcare providers face every day.
