About My Clients

I enjoy helping clients discover themselves in new lights, whether in the technicolor of queer community or the greyscale of grief and loss. To befriend that new version of themselves, make peace with past versions of themselves and showcase who they truly are effectively to others.

My Background and Approach

I earned a Masters Degree in Social Work from the University of Washington in 2023. I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work from University of Washington in 2022. I have had experience working with people suffering from severe forms of depression, anxiety, self-harm, and suicidality often related to moments of life transition related to LGBTQIAP+ identity discovery and partner relational conflict, especially related to consensual nonmonogamy / ethical nonmonogamy. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I focus my therapeutic practice primarily from an attachment-based, mindfulness-based and systemic lens, as experience dictates that so many of our issues arise from attachment ruptures and social injustice. Understanding that each person’s history and futurity is distinct. I help people learn how to repair their own hearts and communicate with their loved ones in a way that honors both their commitments and their agency. If you are exhausted by cycles of violence that show up in your life and are willing to work to pursue virtuous cycles instead but aren't sure how to go about it, I may be a good fit for you.
