About My Clients
You are here because you're looking for help - stress, anxiety, depression, life's transitions, or just a final attempt to “make it better.” I am here to sit with you, hear your story, and look at what is weighing you down. While I work best with those who lead with openness, curiosity and a true desire for personal growth, I also recognize folx show up in different places in life's emotional experience. Therapy is a journey back to a place of hope and belonging, and it is my honor to join you.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate in WA State with training in Sex Therapy. My therapeutic toolbox includes Satir Growth Model, CBT, DBT, Gottman (L2-trained), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Discernment Counseling along with techniques from other theories when helpful. I recognize all aspects of identity - be it race, culture, class, religion, gender, sexuality - you are welcome here. I am a relationship therapist who embraces all relational constellations, individuals included. So if it’s coping skills, improved communication, unpacking trauma, better connections with loved ones, or another path towards “better,” I want to help. Let’s talk soon. Contact me to set up a free 20-minute consultation.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Along with my training and skills, I show up with my authenticity and best wishes. I apply an anti-oppression, anti-racist, body-positive, and sex-positive lens to my work. I aim to create a brave space that welcomes you just as you are and encourages you to be courageous and authentic in session with me; I am here for the good, the bad, and the ugly. I am able to suspend judgment because I use a humanistic strengths-based approach. I believe in you, and I will help you find your own strength and then amplify it in your life for the better. I do this with a healthy dose of cultural humility, compassionate curiosity, and my own humanity in order to better understand your views and experiences. After all, you are the expert in your life; not me.
