I identify as queer, transgender, white (English and German descent), able-bodied, middle class, and spiritual. My therapeutic approach is compassionate, down-to-earth, relational, trauma-informed, and depth-focused. I believe in the inherent goodness within all people and focus on one's inner wisdom in order to support healing. I integrate principals of Internal Family Systems (IFS), Ecotherapy, and Feminist therapy. I believe connection and creating meaningful relationship to self and others to be fundamental to healing. I use an integrative approach that addresses client concerns through a larger context, such as family of origin structure, greater societal norms (patriarchy), structural racism, and others. EDUCATION & TRAINING I have been working with adults, children and youth, as well as families in community mental health since 2019. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington State and I hold a Masters in Counseling Psychology from Bastyr University. I have completed the QTIFS Foundations Course for Trans, Nonbinary, and Queer Clinicians Online course with Sand Chang, PhD and Nic Wildes, LMHC (2023). I have completed Ecotherapy Level 1 Training with Earthbody Institute (2022). I am a member of the American Mental Health Counselors Association (AMHCA) and Washington Mental Health Care Association (WMHCA).
