1. Tell us about your journey. how did your queer-owned business come to life?

Like many therapists, I came to this work through my own life experiences. I came out at 32, and during that transformative period, I was also in therapy working through family-of-origin issues. While some of that experience was helpful, I also encountered some objectively problematic moments. Those experiences, combined with the support I found in community groups, made me realize I could offer something better.

After earning my M.A. at Antioch University and completing an internship at Seattle Counseling Service for Sexual Minorities, I opened my private practice in 2008 in Capitol Hill. In 2020, I transitioned to telehealth on the same day the world shut down for Covid, and I’ve been working remotely ever since. Recently, I expanded into a group practice with Dr. James Kuhn, staying dedicated to providing quality, affirming care to the queer community.
