Therapy rooted in social justice & liberation
Online in Washington State
Recognizing the ways that oppressive systems have been uniquely harmful and dehumanizing is important in my work, particularly for people with marginalized identities. I believe that it is necessary to understand the context of the world we live in and how that has impacted all of us in order to allow for true healing.
When working with me, you can expect curiosity, openness, humor, and a touch of sarcasm. If that sounds like something that could be a good fit for you, reach out!
My approach to therapy draws from narrative, existential, and acceptance-based theories. Basically, I want to show up in the space with you, be real, and support you in understanding who you are and what it is you want in your life — not what others are telling you.

Focus Areas
-
How can one not feel anxious with the state of the world? That is not to minimize your anxiety, but rather to normalize a biological reaction that humans have to stress. I hope to support you in understanding what the anxiety is telling you so that you can move forward in alignment with yourself.
-
Who are you and how does it impact the way you move through the world? Maybe you want to spend some more time understanding your gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, and/or neurodivergence. Whatever identity means to you, I hope to create a safe space for you to be you.
-
Relationships are a big part of our lives — and they can be really challenging. Whether romantic, platonic, familial, or something else entirely, we can work together to navigate through the bumps and waves.
-
Change can be hard. For whatever is coming your way, big or small, I want to be able to support you through it in a way that reflects your own values and what you want for yourself.
-
Whatever it is that you are carrying with you, I am here to support you in your processing and healing. I believe that we are all products of our environment, for better or for worse, and it is through that lens that I hope to cultivate self-compassion, trust, and safety for you.
If you have therapy goals that aren’t listed here and are still interested in seeing if we could be a good fit, please do not hesitate to reach out and schedule a consultation!
Not every person’s experience and needs will fit neatly into these categories that I have listed, so I hope to have the chance to meet so that we can talk openly about what you are looking for and whether I could be the person to support you in this journey.
