About My Clients

In a world that can feel overwhelming and uncertain, trying to navigate your own struggles on top of everything else can be exhausting. Maybe you’re facing a life transition, wrestling with existential questions, trying to cope with the state of the world, or need a supportive space to help life feel more manageable. Whatever you’re carrying, you don’t have to figure it out alone. You deserve to feel at home in your mind and body, grounded in who you are, and free to live the life you want.

My Background and Approach

For over a decade, I’ve been committed to learning a range of approaches to best support my clients. Each of these methods has informed and enriched my understanding of how we grow, change, and reconnect with ourselves. My approach is relational and collaborative, blending somatic practices to strengthen the mind-body connection. Compassion guides my work, and I deeply value the therapeutic relationship. Together, we’ll move beyond getting stuck in your head toward a more embodied experience, deeper self-trust, authentic growth, lasting shifts, and greater self-acceptance. Above all, my goal is to help you embrace your authentic self. I encourage you to bring your true self to our sessions, share what feels comfortable, and engage in authentic conversations. Seeking therapy takes courage. I’d be honored to connect with you. I offer online therapy in Washington State, and a free 20-minute consultation to answer any questions.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that advocacy is an essential part of mental health treatment. I also work through a systemic lens and wholeheartedly embrace a body acceptance, body neutrality and Health at Every Size approach. I primarily work with adults and have a specialized focus in anxiety, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, adult ADHD, trauma, and serving the LGBTQIA+ community. Also, I work with Thrizer, a platform that helps clients get money back on out-of-network therapy sessions. I can provide a superbill for my out-of-network clients for possible reimbursement. HSA and FSA payments accepted. I have a limited number of reduced fee spots. Please reach out with any questions!
