“So like children, we begin again . . . to fall, patiently to trust our heaviness. Even a bird has to do that before he can fly.” —Rainer Maria Rilke
Welcome to Rising Bird Counseling. I’m glad you are here.
I work with adults (18+) from all walks of life who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, grief/loss, life transitions, chronic pain, college stress, the impacts of trauma, and more. I am also an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist and offer gender-affirming care. I hold an inclusive and anti-oppressive lens and invite clients’ intersecting cultural identities to be seen, acknowledged, respected, and celebrated in our work together.
Using an integrative and holistic approach, I collaborate with clients to address their challenges in nonjudgmental, empathetic, and creative ways. Influenced by my decade-long career as a massage therapist and my experience as an expressive arts therapist, I invite clients to see and process their challenges in non-verbal ways (e.g., body wisdom and awareness, breathwork, guided visualization, arts-based processing, etc.) in addition to verbal ways (i.e., talk therapy). Sessions are individualized for each client, so it is your choice how you’d like to engage in the work of therapy with me. For more on my therapy services, including services I do not provide, please visit the My Approach page.
I offer both teletherapy and in-person sessions Monday through Thursday, 9:00 am – 6:00 pm. In-person sessions are located in the Tacoma, WA area.
