Trauma-informed, body-centered therapy for people who've never quite fit the box they were given

The chrysalis is where our deepest gifts wait until they feel safe enough to emerge
Individual Telehealth Therapy
50-minute sessions for adults in Washington State
Trauma-Informed
We go at your pace. Together we'll trace how the past still shows up now, in your body, your reactions, and your relationships. I draw on attachment theory, Internal Family Systems (parts work), psychodynamic therapy, and somatic approaches.
Intuitive
I follow what comes up rather than a set agenda. Sometimes that's an image, a sensation, or a memory that seems unrelated, and it often turns out to be the way in. You can always steer us somewhere else.
Anti-Oppression
None of us lives outside culture and power. I'm committed to ongoing reflection on my own biases and to practicing therapy that is anti-racist, anti-ableist, queer- and trans-affirming, and sex-work allied. When it matters to you, we can talk about how those systems have affected the way you see yourself.
I became a therapist because I think people already carry what they need, and it comes forward when it finally feels safe.
I'm a trauma therapist who works with the body as much as with words. I think good therapy is grounding and imaginative at once: it steadies you, and it leaves room for dreams, images, and creative life to have a say.
I also have training in spiritual and psychedelic integration. If you've had a meaningful altered-state experience, we can work with what it brought up. I don't provide or facilitate substances.
Outside of sessions I dance, make and perform music, read fantasy novels, travel to see art, and hang out with my cat, Pantalaimon.

FAQs
Where do I need to be located?
You need to be physically in Washington State during each session, because that's where I'm licensed. You don't have to be a permanent resident. If you're traveling out of state on a session day, let me know and we'll reschedule.
What happens on the consultation call?
It's a free 30-minute video call with no obligation. You can tell me a little about what's bringing you to therapy, and I'll explain how I work. We'll cover practical things like scheduling and fees, and you can ask me anything. If it feels like a fit, we'll book a first session. If I'm not the right person for what you need, I'll say so and point you toward other options where I can.
Do you work with people in non-monogamous relationships?
Yes. I work with people in polyamorous, open, and other consensually non-monogamous relationships, and I don't treat any one structure as the healthy default. I see individuals, so the focus is your own experience: jealousy, agreements, attachment, or whatever is most pressing.
What is your stance on sex work?
I’m sex-work allied and approach sex work without judgment or assumptions about what it means for an individual. Therapy can be a space to explore whatever your relationship to sex work looks like, including boundaries, identity, relationships, safety, stigma, and the emotional impact of the work.
Will we talk about gender, sexuality, or other aspects of identity?
Absolutely, if they’re relevant to your experience and the work you want to do. You don’t need to educate me about your identity or defend your choices in therapy. I will use your pronouns.
Is telehealth right for me?
Telehealth works well for many people, but some situations need more support than a weekly video session can give. If you're in active crisis, or living with psychosis, mania, an eating disorder, suicidality, or substance use that isn't currently stable, in-person or more intensive care will serve you better. If any of these are part of your life and well managed with other support, reach out and we'll talk it through. If you're in crisis right now, call or text 988.
