Trauma-Informed Psychotherapy Services in Seattle, WA
As a licensed mental health counselor in private practice, I provide trauma-informed psychotherapy rooted in neurobiological and somatic principles. My practice centers queer, BIPOC, and marginalized communities through an anti-racist, intersectional framework. Specializing in relational healing, I support clients navigating complex trauma, neurodivergence, and non-traditional relationship structures. With over a decade of clinical experience, I integrate interpersonal neurobiology with embodied practices to help clients develop emotional resilience and relational attunement.My approach emphasizes nervous system regulation, boundary development, and meaning-making through a weight-neutral, sex-positive lens. Located in Seattle's Madison Park neighborhood, I serve teens, adults, and partners seeking compassionate, evidence-based mental health care that honors diverse identities and lived experiences.
