Neurodivergent - Affirming Mental Health Counseling in Bellingham, Washington

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA) with a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (MAEd) from Seattle University.  I also have a master’s in teaching (MAT) from Lewis and Clark College. I have a background in teaching special education to middle school students.

My Approach

I provide individual psychotherapy services to adolescents (13 yrs +) and adults. My approach to counseling involves cultivating a trusting therapeutic relationship in a safe space. I believe in working towards a world that sees neurodiversity as an asset and not a hindrance. I value social justice and anti-oppression philosophies based on cultivating strength and resilience in a space of wellness.

My counseling practice is inspired by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and neurodivergent-affirming practices. I help clients to cultivate their stories through radical acceptance and identity empowerment. Therapy is client centered and collaborative because I believe that the client is the expert of their own story. In this space, you can expect a neurodiversity, anti-ableist lens. Individual treatment goals are crafted in collaboration and are based on the client’s personal values.

Psychotherapy services are held exclusively via telehealth at this time.
