Person Centered
Attachment
As children, we know how to be authentic. We were playful, curious and instinctive. As we grow, relationships, trauma, societal rules and values, impact and change our self-expression. Some choose a shield of surly aloofness that tells the world, "I don't NEED anyone." In others the longing for connection is motivated by the question "Who do I need to be to be loved?"

Intersectional Feminism
I believe that identity development requires an integration of the mind, body, and soul, bound by the impacts of culture, privilege, oppression, and power. I strive to better understand how the systems we live in impact individuals, communities and mental health through an anti-racist lens.
Every aspect of you is welcome in our sessions.
I recognize that I live and practice my profession on the indigenous land stolen from the Duwamish tribe, and that they continue to be refused federal recognition - leaving all members since the 1850's without repayment for their land to date. I am committed to being an ally by voting and tangible involvement in my neighborhood and city.
