About My Clients
I am passionate about supporting and advocating for trans/non-binary youth and adults as they engage on their courageous journey to authentic living. I also enjoy supporting individuals who are navigating a transition to non-monogamy/polyamory. I work with my White clients to explore their bias and privilege in order to promote healing and ending white supremacy. I approach my work with BIPOC clients from a position of humility in collaboration toward their growth and transformation.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist (LMFT) in the state of Washington. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice from the University of Wisconsin. I went on to obtain my Master of Arts in Marriage and Family therapy from Antioch University New England. I have pursued numerous trainings in DBT and have led DBT skills groups for both adolescents and adults. I am committed to ongoing self-work around anti-oppression and critically conscious practices. My approach to therapy is grounded in queer-affirmative and social justice lenses. I see myself as a guide along your unique journey; I trust that you know who you are and where you need to go. My style tends to be directive, however. I want to offer ideas, skills, and support in clarifying your next steps and solutions. I integrate learning and practicing DBT skills to strengthen your ability to manage current and future challenges in your life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I identify as a genderqueer, polysexual, able-bodied woman who practices ethical non-monogamy and has white ancestry. I love being on the beach; I find that nothing soothes me and brings me back to center like the sound of the waves crashing ashore. Travel is an important part of my self-care, as it enriches my life and expands my world. More than anything, I enjoy spending time with my loved ones, especially my kiddo.
