About My Clients

I specialize in geriatric and hospice care. I love working with LGBTQIA+ folks and Veterans. I identify as Queer and celebrate the resilience that can be found in overcoming adversity through community and connection. I've worked with LGBTQIA+ Veterans at the Seattle VA. I advocate for healthcare equity for Transgender Veterans and people who are gender non-conforming. I believe that while everyone is doing their best to overcome difficulty in their lives, we all could use help along the way.

My Background and Approach

Whether you are experiencing a personal loss or a change in your health, career or a major relationship, navigating your feelings and responses to these experiences can be supported through counseling. Techniques I may utilize include: Psychodynamic, CBT, ACT, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Trauma Informed, Motivational Interviewing & Solution Focused.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I identify as Queer and celebrate the resilience that can be found in overcoming adversity through community and connection. I have a trauma informed approach. I use an anti-racist intersectional frame.
