In-Person in Seattle, WA
Online in Washington
I specialize in helping people navigate many forms of anxiety, including perfectionism, social anxiety, panic, and phobias. I also work with bipolar disorder, disordered eating, body image, emotion regulation, impulsivity, and intense or complicated relationships. My practice is HAES-aligned, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and inclusive of polyamorous relationships.
My style is warm, collaborative, and direct. You’ll feel heard AND you’ll build practical skills to apply in your daily life. I draw from evidence-based therapies like ACT, DBT, & ERP, blended with bottom-up strategies and a socially just, affirming lens. These strategies make deliberate use of your effort and investment to build resilience long-term.

I practice in-person in Fremont one day a week and by telehealth the rest of the week. I am panelled with Aetna and am otherwise an out of network provider. I do courtesy OON billing for any client who requests it. The service I use (Thrizer) also has the option of floating the cost beyond your OON copay (many clients pay $25-75 per session). Feel free to send me your insurance details so I can check your benefits.
