Therapy
My practice pulls from various theories and modalities in order to personalize each client’s treatment to their needs and goals. These include evidence-based and social justice oriented methods that draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment Theory, Critical Multicultural Social Work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy, Fat/Body Liberation and Body Trust, Intersectional Feminist Theory, Harm Reduction, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Nonviolent Communication, Person-Centered Therapy, and Trauma Therapy.

I offer individual and couples/relationship (2-person) therapy to adults (18+) in Washington state that take place weekly or every other week. I offer an initial, free of cost 15-minute consultation call before beginning our work together; consultation calls are not therapy. I accept private pay only via cash, checks, credit or debit cards through my HIPAA-compliant client portal on Simple Practice.
No Surprises Act
I am in compliance with the No Surprises Act. This federal law protects clients or patients who receive services from out-of-network (OON) providers from getting surprise bills. The act requires providers to offer “Good Faith Estimates” for the cost of services. For more information, see here.
Telehealth
Current clients can access my Simple Practice portal here. All sessions take place virtually at the moment and require video, audio, and internet access. I am unable to see clients located or traveling outside of Washington state due to licensing restrictions.

“Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.
I use the word "love" here not merely in the personal sense but as a state of being, or a state of grace - not in the infantile American sense of being made happy but in the tough and universal sense of quest and daring and growth.”
—James Baldwin
Insurance, & Sliding Scale
I do not accept insurance at this time, I am happy to provide a superbill clients may submit to their insurance provider for reimbursement but this does not guarantee reimbursement from your insurance provider.
In striving to make therapy more accessible to those historically marginalized and economically disadvantaged, I offer sliding scale option for those unable to pay the full $130 fee. Additional financial resources for seeking therapy include:
National Queer & Trans Therapists of Color Network Mental Health Fund
The Loveland Foundation for Black women and girls.
The Lotus Therapy Fund for Asian American community members.
