About me

I am licensed in Washington with 12 years of professional therapy experience. I reserve the majority of my caseload availability for clients who are LGBTQ and/or polyamorous. I prefer to work with non-heteronormative, or poly persons/groups and I’m trained to provide family treatment for those needs. *PLEASE NOTE* My availability is currently limited to Saturday and Monday appointments. I prefer to discuss scheduling with each client to meet their needs, and to have a set schedule for each person. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! I believe that the single most important aspect of therapy is a healthy therapeutic relationship, and taking time to develop an understanding and rapport between therapist and client is important. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! My therapy approach for you may include any combination of: talk therapy, DBT or CBT interventions, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness and body awareness interventions, or Brief Solution-focused Therapy.
