MA, LMHC, RYT-200, They/Them | Somatic Sex Therapist & Expressive Arts Therapist
Provides In-person and Telehealth Sessions in Washington

Healing is not just an individual journey, it is a collective, embodied process shaped by our histories, identities, relationships, and lived experiences.

Therapy with me offers a nourishing, collaborative space to slow down, soften, and show up as you are, without expectations or pressure. It is an invitation to be met with care, grace, and compassion. Together, we make sense of your experiences while building awareness of the patterns, emotions, and protective strategies shaping how you move through life. We gently unpack cycles of connection and disconnection, strengthening communication, navigating conflict, repairing ruptures, and expressing needs more clearly, while reconnecting with your body and cultivating more intentional, connected ways of living and loving.

My work is grounded in understanding how trauma and attachment shape our nervous system, relationships, and sense of self, often influencing how we connect, communicate, and experience intimacy. My approach is integrative, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment theory, and narrative therapy, alongside somatic and creative practices such as mindfulness, breath work, and expressive arts.

As a BIPOC, non-binary, queer, and neurodivergent therapist, my work is shaped by both lived experience and clinical training. I recognize how identity, culture, and broader systems influence our inner worlds and relationships, and I am deeply committed to offering inclusive, affirming care for people of all backgrounds.

I believe our bodies hold the stories our minds learn to silence, and within them, the capacity for deep, meaningful change. Through this work, you can feel more confident in yourself, reclaim your agency, create meaning in your life, and build relationships that feel grounded, connected, and empowering.
