“There's magic in being seen by people who understand - it gives you permission to keep going. Self-expression sometimes requires other people. Becoming ourselves is a collective journey.”
— Alok Vaid-Menon 

As a multiply-positioned clinician—white, nonbinary, and neurodivergent—I approach therapy with both lived insight and active accountability. My work at Alive Holistic Counseling is rooted in this truth: systems harm all of us differently, and healing involves naming those differences aloud.

In my practice I seek to support and encourage: 

• Embodiment and somatic healing (IFS-informed, trauma-sensitive approaches)

• Narrative and identity-affirming practices (centering LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and grieving communities) 

• Trans/nonbinary folks navigating medical or social transition

• Grief and work-related stress (honoring loss, burnout, and systemic pressures with compassion)  

• An explicitly anti-oppressive space (leveraging my privileged and marginalized identities to disrupt therapy’s colonial norms)  

Together, we’ll cultivate brave space, not perfection.* You’ll be met with radical honesty, humility, and the unwavering belief that you are already whole. Whether we’re untangling internalized oppression, reframing trauma, navigating grief, or reclaiming joy and a sense of whimsy, my role is to witness and walk alongside (or rather sit across from) you. All parts or aspects of your holistic being are welcome and compassion for self is highly encouraged. 

Outside of the therapy space, I, like many Pacific Northwesterners, enjoy getting outdoors, rock hounding, and spending time with my partner and our two cats (for the the PNW-record, I also love dogs).
