Trusted Therapists, Here to Support You

---

“The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things or make them unimportant." -11th Doctor (Doctor Who)

I operate out of the person-centered approach to counseling. What this means is that I am following each client on their path towards growth from a client-led lens. I focus on the collaborative nature that is the therapeutic space. However, I believe in a multi-modal approach and may discuss different interventions that may help clients achieve their therapeutic goals from different evidence-based practices. I am passionate at wanting to help young adults in the transitions of life and the journey of discovering oneself. I am a proud Queer therapist that focuses on gender-inclusive care for every person that comes to Affordable Counseling. services for children and adolescents, as well as support for LGBTQ+ individuals and families.

 I am currently in my second and final year of my Master's program at Bastyr University. I will be obtaining a Counseling Psychology degree with hopes to serve the community with quality mental health care for the duration of my career. As someone who has been on a journey with chronic illness the last several years, I am hoping to support individuals through their own chronic illness journey's. Some diagnoses that I have knowledge about include but are not limited to: Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS), Gastroparesis (GP), etc. Along with chronic illness, I look forward to supporting clients with anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). To best support my clients, I will use tools and framework that align with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Existentialism. My number one goal is to create a safe and supportive environment that allow clients to pursue the life that they most align with. I look forward to meeting with you! 

As a therapist in training, my priority is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel truly heard, understood, and supported. With a warm and gentle approach rooted in person-centered therapy, I trust your innate wisdom and strength to lead the way toward meaningful change. You are the expert in your own life, and I am here to walk alongside you, offering guidance and encouragement as you navigate your unique journey.

While pursuing my degree in Counseling Psychology at Bastyr University, I’ve embraced a whole-person approach to therapy. This means we will consider not only your thoughts and emotions but also the ways your physical health, relationships, environment, and even your sense of purpose and spirituality contribute to your overall well-being. By honoring the connection between mind, body, and spirit, we can work toward deeper and more sustainable growth that aligns with who you truly are.

Together, we will explore your emotions and experiences, uncover patterns that may no longer serve you, and create a path toward a balanced, fulfilling life that reflects your goals and values.

As Carl Rogers said, 'The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.' 

I’m here to support you in discovering that self-acceptance and creating the meaningful growth you deserve—all at a pace and direction that feels right for you.
