About
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(2026) and currently practice under supervision as an LMHCA.
I come to this work as someone who cares deeply about how we make meaning of our lives—especially in the midst of grief, complexity, and change. I’m drawn to the places that feel hard to name, and to the stories that have been shaped in relationship, culture, and history.
I’m also just a human who loves a good breve latte, feels most like herself near the ocean, and spends slow hours reading and cuddling with her cat, Zelda, and dog, 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
I believe psychotherapy does not happen in isolation from our interconnected world. The stress, burnout, grief, and traumas we carry are shaped not only by individual experiences, but also by our relationships, cultures, material conditions, and systems of power.
Because of this, 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, immigrant rights, Indigenous sovereignty, a free Palestine, and approaching therapy through a non-pathologizing, decolonizing lens.
I understand decolonizing therapy as an ongoing practice rather than a destination. This means continually 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.
“Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.”
— James Baldwin
Areas of Focus
I walk alongside people navigating the complexities of being human in an often overwhelming and unjust world.
These might include:
experiences of trauma, neglect, grief, loss, or transition
anxiety, overwhelm, or uncertainty
eating and body-related concerns
questions of spirituality or faith
relational dynamics and patterns
end-of-life stages and death
the impacts of colonization and systemic oppression
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, and we integrate somatic, creative, and eco-practices along the way.
These modalities allow us to work in an embodied way as we face grief, explore identity, and envision a decolonized future rooted in resilience, liberatory justice, and flourishing.
Who I work with
I work with adults (18+), including individuals, relationships of all structures and dynamics, and groups. Much of my work is with queer folks, gender expansive folks, neurodivergent folks, kinky folks, and folks in non-traditional 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—who are navigating the tension between what they long for and what feels possible.
I’m committed to working with people who have been pushed to the margins, and to honoring how those experiences shape how you feel, relate, and move through the world.
Background
With a background in hospice and death care, I specialize in supporting what emerges for folks in times of loss and transition.
I have both many years of experience and a deep affinity for journeying with elders and those in the end stages of life.
I also bring experience facilitating groups, and value the unique depth, connection, and shared meaning that can transpire in collective spaces.
Not ready yet?
If you're not ready just yet, that's okay.
Journeys often move like the tide—sometimes arriving in waves. You're welcome to linger, explore, or simply rest here awhile.
When you're ready, the path will be waiting.
Until then, may you find a welcoming companion in the words and resources shared along the way.
