Would you prefer therapy that feels genuine and connected rather than clinical?

I know what it's like to search for a therapist who truly gets you. That's why I've built my practice for people seeking genuine LGBTQ+ affirming care that goes beyond surface-level acceptance, EMDR trauma therapy with thorough preparation so you feel completely safe, and an authentic therapeutic relationship where you're treated as a whole person, not just symptoms. I specialize in EMDR and offer other therapeutic approaches through secure virtual sessions across Washington State, where you can experience therapy that feels genuinely healing, and your identity is celebrated and your pace is honored.

Beyond Friendly, Actually Affirming

I have training and experience with marginalized communities, and continue expanding my understanding of minority stress, intersectional identity, and body positivity.

EMDR With Extensive Preparation

I spend several sessions building safety before trauma processing. As one client shared: "I appreciate we're doing a lot of prep work for EMDR."

Genuinely Human Connection

Therapy that feels like talking to someone who gets you. Clients often tell me they feel calm, understood, and genuinely cared for.
