I am a Master’s level therapist, licensed in the state of Washington as a Mental Health Counselor, and I’ve been working with adults and couples professionally since 2018.

Theoretically, my approach is grounded in Emotion Focused Therapy, person-centered humanism, somatic and mind-body connection theories, and a bit of existentialism. I show up in sessions as an gentle, logical, and curious coach and guide who’s going to be with you in the sticky parts of life, and also hold you accountable to get to the other side. In sessions, I tend to ask a lot of big questions, help you get back into your body, feelings, and intuition, and offer lots of ideas and solutions to get unstuck in your relationship with yourself or others. My ultimate goal is to make you feel good, and integrate that into as many areas of your life as possible.

My highest personal values are on things being and feeling good, which sometimes is really fun and freeing, and sometimes requires a lot of hard work toward growth and expansion. But that’s just what I live for and how it’s always been! My friends describe me as curious, incredibly spacious, nonjudgmental, fun, adaptable, full of ideas, highly ethical, adventurous, and frankly, a little wild.

My clients describe me as gentle, practical, and really good at making big hard things feel so simple and worth trying. They also give the feedback that I’m really good at challenging them when they need a push, and holding them accountable to their own goals, needs, and higher versions of themselves.

If personal identity markers are important to consider in your search for the right therapist, it’s worth noting that I’m a white, cisgender, bisexual woman in my thirties. I’ve been married 10+ years, and am childfree. I’m spiritual but not religious. Radically accepting of people, and intolerant of hate. I’m originally from Wisconsin, but a Seattleite for the entirety of my adulthood. I only drink decaf coffee.

If you want to know more about me (mostly professionally), let’s schedule a consult call to see if this is a good fit.
