Welcome! Our work together will be dynamic, reflective, and creative, with dashes of humor, invitations to try new things, and together finding concrete ways to help you feel better. My main approaches to working with others are through a feminist, non-directive lens; one in which I follow the lead of the client, listen, ask questions, make observations, and also speak of the Narrative you frame your life in. As a writer and one who utilizes Narrative and Poetic therapy, language and the frames we characterize ourselves in are true for us.

I work with individuals impacted by mental illness, traumatic experiences and relational issues. If you've been through some things that are hard to talk about, or you feel like your emotions get in the way of your day to day life or relationships, I might be able to help.

You feel overwhelmed, burned out, or depleted. You're the one everyone counts on, yet you worry you're nearing the end of your rope. Your achievement-oriented focus leaves you without space for what matters to you. You wish you had more time for yourself and could dismiss thoughts about what else you “should” be doing. Simultaneously, when you're not carrying everyone else's loads, you look at the mess (climate & politics) around you and don't know how to respond. Maybe you wish you could be optimistic or hopeful, but you feel cynical or helpless. You're seeking reprieve & energy to spend where, when, and as you wish.

My practice is 100% Telehealth.
Welcome! I believe in attuning to my clients through the use of curiosity, compassion, and humor. I see therapy as a tool for reconnecting each of us with our innate strengths and clarifying our goals. In our work together we will examine messages you have received across your lifetime and decide where they fit into your personal world view now. My practice is collaborative, and informed by person-centered, evidence-based, and feminist/Queer theory. I incorporate findings from neuro-psychology, humanistic, and systems perspectives and believe your therapy should be a co-created experience.

Are you doing your best, only to find that the demands of work, school, parenting, or changing relationships leave you feeling misunderstood, emotionally reactive, physically tense, or stuck in your head? If you're tired of handling it all on your own, are you ready to take the step into a space where you can slow down and feel truly seen and understood?. Wherever you are on your journey, I am here to support you - you don't have to do this alone.
I take a trauma-sensitive approach, honoring how your past has shaped you while helping you discover that it does not have to define or limit your life.

Experiencing trauma, stress, anxiety, life transitions, or depression can feel overwhelming and isolating. Taking this first step toward seeking support is an act of courage, and I deeply honor the strength it takes to begin this journey. Healing is not about having all the answers; it’s about showing up for yourself, one step at a time. Together, we can explore your story, gently work through emotions, and create a path toward greater peace and fulfillment. My own journey of navigating two cultures, born in Mexico and raised in Washington State, shaped my passion for helping others feel seen, understood, and supported.

Life can be complicated, and sometimes it helps to have a space where you can slow down, be yourself, and talk things through. Whether you're navigating everyday stress, relationships, parenting, life transitions, or the ups and downs of growing up, therapy can offer support, insight, and connection along the way.
My approach is relaxed, collaborative, and centered around you. I’m not here to tell you who you should be. Instead, I strive to create a safe and welcoming space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment.

As both a therapist and yoga teacher, I believe we have the capacity to access our own inner knowing and sense of awareness. Sometimes we just need some redirection about how to get there. I believe in a compassionate approach to therapy, which expands resiliency, encourages self-agency, and invites discovery.
