All parts of you are welcome here, including the ones other providers needed explained. That includes parents raising autistic or gender-nonconforming kids, people in polyamorous or non-traditional relationships, and anyone whose life doesn't fit a standard mold, whether by choice or circumstance.

I draw from Internal Family Systems, EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, an approach that focuses on how the nervous system's state shapes a person's sense of safety, and Gottman Method, to work with complex trauma, neurodivergence, bipolar disorder, and identity exploration, including kink-affirming care that treats consensual, non-traditional relationship and sexual structures as simply part of a client's life rather than something to interrogate. I'm also a registered yoga teacher and trauma-informed yoga facilitator, which sometimes finds its way into how I think about grounding and the body in session. I hold a Certified Autism Specialist credential in addition to my clinical training.

I'm supervised by Margaret MacLeod, LMFT, an AAMFT Approved Supervisor, so the range of specialized modalities I draw on carries credentialed oversight behind it, not just my own training. I'm completing my clinical hours toward full LMFT licensure and hold an AAC credential in addition to my clinical training.

Parents raising autistic or gender-nonconforming kids, polyamorous or kink-affirming partners, and couples of every configuration in Tacoma and statewide find me because I won't need the basics of any of that explained first.

When you're ready, the intake form is short, and if you want to know more about how I work with a specific population before booking, a question first is always welcome. I work with individuals, couples, polycules, and families, so the shape of who's actually in the room can vary quite a bit from one intake to the next, and that flexibility is intentional.
