Pronouns: She/Her
Hi, I’m Bella, and I’m a Marriage and Family Therapy graduate student at Seattle Pacific University. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Washington and am currently completing my clinical training as a therapy intern at SCS.
My background in psychology and my time in graduate school have shaped the way I understand mental health, not only as an individual experience, but as something deeply connected to our relationships, families, and experiences. I’m especially interested in helping people better understand themselves, their relationships, and navigate life’s challenges.
While at the University of Washington, I gained experience working directly with survivors of sexual trauma through psychological research. This experience reinforced for me the importance of creating spaces where people feel heard, respected, and able to share their experiences at their own pace.
I was born and raised in Washington. Outside of being a student therapist, I’m a big reader, a proud cat person, and love exploring Seattle. I value curiosity, authenticity, and connection, and I aim to bring those same qualities into my work with clients.
