About

Woman in white dress standing outdoors near icy water with snow-covered mountains in the background.

I am a psychotherapist living and practicing on the occupied and ancestral land of the Duwamish People—also known as Seattle, Washington. I am a graduate of Counseling Psychology from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology and currently practice under supervision as an LMHCA.

I arrive to this work drawn to the complex parts of being human that don’t fit neatly into simple stories—the grief, trauma, and contradictions, along with the ways we adapt, protect ourselves, and keep reaching for connection.

I believe our experiences are deeply personal, but also shaped by our relationships, cultures, histories, material realities, environments, and systems of power. This understanding shapes how I show up: with warmth, curiosity, honesty, and respect for what is uniquely yours, while staying attentive to the wider world that has helped shape it.

I’m also just a human who loves a breve latte, feels most like herself near the ocean, and spends slow hours reading and cuddling with her cat, Zelda, and whippet, Ransom.

I return to myself in different ways—sometimes by the water, sometimes riding my motorcycle, Regulator. It lives up to its namesake.

My Approach

My work is rooted in harm reduction, fat liberation, sex positivity, and cultural humility, alongside commitments to prison abolition, sex workers’ rights, mutual aid, community care, disability justice, immigrant rights, Indigenous sovereignty, a free Palestine, dismantling white supremacy, and approaching therapy through a non-pathologizing, decolonizing lens.

This means we will continually be questioning whose knowledge is centered, resisting the individualization and pathologization of systemic harm, and making room for healing that is relational, embodied, cultural, ecological, spiritual, and collective.

Areas of Focus

Understanding all therapy to be rooted in grief, I walk alongside people navigating the complexities of being human in an often overwhelming and unjust world.

We may explore:

  • experiences of trauma, neglect, grief, loss, or transition

  • anxiety, overwhelm, or uncertainty

  • relationships with food, eating, and the body

  • questions of spirituality or faith

  • challenging relational dynamics and patterns

  • aging, dying, death, and end-of-life stages

Orientation and Modalities

I offer therapy as a relational, collaborative process that honors the whole person: body, mind, and spirit.

My work is shaped by person-centered, liberation, relational psychodynamic, and systemic theories, with somatic, creative, and ecological practices woven in along the way.

In practice, this means we may explore relational patterns, attend to what the body is communicating, and consider how culture, community, place, and systems of power shape your life. Together, we can make room for grief, explore identity, and imagine ways of living rooted in connection, collective liberation, and flourishing.

Who I work with

I work with adults (18+), through individual and group therapy. Much of my work is with queer, gender expansive, neurodivergent, and kinky folks, as well as people in non-monogamous and other expansive relationship constellations.

I’m especially passionate about working with people who feel deeply and are engaged in collective spaces—activists, organizers, educators, artists, and healers navigating the tension between what they long for and what feels possible.

I’m most committed to working alongside people marginalized by oppressive systems and to honoring how those systems shape how you feel, relate, and move through the world.

Background

With a background in hospice and death care, I specialize in supporting people through grief, loss, and transition. This may include anticipatory grief, caregiving, aging, dying, and losses that are not always recognized or understood by others.

I have many years of experience supporting elders and a deep affinity for accompanying those nearing the end of life. I welcome the emotional, relational, spiritual, and existential questions that can arise without assuming what dying, grieving, or making meaning should look like.

I also bring experience facilitating groups and value the depth, connection, and shared meaning that can emerge when experiences held in isolation are witnessed in community.
