Providing somatic and relational therapy for the queer and trans community, specializing in working with folks who are tending to the impacts of trauma.
I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with 18 years of experience, offering individual and couples therapy in Seattle and via telehealth. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, PTSD, and trauma for adults, seniors, and young adults, especially those in the LGBTQ+ community. I accept Kaiser and United HealthCare insurance, with options for out-of-pocket payments. I provide post-hospitalization care for severe depression and self-harming behavior.
