About Me

Pronouns: She/Her

Are you feeling caught between family, societal, or cultural expectations & loyalties and wanting to live your life in a different, more authentic way? Is this putting strain on relationships you truly do care about, but have no idea how to navigate?As a queer woman who was raised in highly religious communities, I understand how difficult that can be! We are constantly making choices and compromises around what we disclose to others, and that’s exhausting. As a therapist, my goal is to create a space where you can be your pure, unfiltered self. You will be allowed (and encouraged!) to discuss the things you may have been taught to feel shame around – whether that is sex, gender identity, trauma, or mental health.

I see teens (13+,) adults, and couples who may be facing these questions of identity, relational conflict, desire discrepancy, OCD, anxiety, depression, and more. I also offer family therapy, especially for LGBTQIA+ teens and their parents who want support navigating identity, communication, acceptance, and changing family relationships.

What You Can Expect

In therapy, I try to be as warm and approachable as possible. Sharing vulnerable feelings and stories requires deep trust, and I am willing to follow your lead and pace as we build that foundation of trust. I highly value client autonomy in the therapy process, and we will search for the tools that best work for you, whether that be something like CBT, DBT, or ERP, or a less structured intervention/framework, such as narrative or experiential therapy.

In my non-work hours, I am a total film nerd and lover of books, art, and poetry. If you want to bring any of these into session as metaphors or tools to help tell your story, I’ll always welcome that (and would love to take your recommendations!) I also enjoy yoga and exploring Seattle and all it has to offer.

If this resonates with you, I’d be thrilled to meet with you! Please use my scheduling link to schedule an intake or consult, and/or email me with any questions you have.
