About My Clients

In our work together, therapy moves at your pace and is guided by your needs and desires. My role as a therapist is one of non-judgemental curiosity. And, I offer ways to work toward your goals. I offer abolitionist, sex-positive, body-neutral, anti-racist, disability-justice-oriented, gender-affirming, kink- & poly-affirming, and strengths-based therapy.

My Background and Approach

I have an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Antioch University Seattle and I have worked at Queer City Therapy in Buffalo, NY. I have specialized training in Sex Therapy, serving 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals and ethically non-monogamous (ENM) dyads and triads. My therapeutic approach is Somatic, Liberatory, and Attachment-based. This means that therapy centers your lived experience and personal history. I offer ways to explore bodily sensations, emotional states, triggers, and/or grounding techniques to source you within your body in a trauma-informed way. I also discuss the impacts of systems on your daily life (work, school, family, society), and try to find useful ways to navigate those systems or simply cope within them. With dyads and triads, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method to bring awareness to relational dynamics, and offer ways to re-balance relationship(s).

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am a counselor oriented toward liberation; that means liberation for all oppressed peoples. We can discuss values in more detail in a free consultation or you can check out my Instagram to see if we might be a good match: @queertherapistpnw. I am anti-carceral in my approach to therapy and I value data privacy in my record keeping.
