Unfurling into Growth
Therapy and supervision rooted in relationship, anti-oppression, respect.
As we meander through the joys and pains of being human in this world — and of tending to others — there are times that call for more containment, care, or perspective than we can find on our own.
My approach in therapy & supervision is nonjudgmental and deeply compassionate, with respect for all of your intersectional identities. It’s a privilege to be with you through the challenges and the growth.

Who we work with
Therapy
You deserve support that honors your lived experience — not one that pathologizes you.
At Fiddlehead Therapy, I offer individual therapy for adults navigating:
Life and identity transitions
Anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm
Trauma and its reverberations
Family building in all its forms
Bonding or parenting stressors
Curiosity about your brain, nervous system, or neurotype
Healing your relationship with your body, food, and movement in a world shaped by white supremacy, weight stigma, and ableism
Therapy is available via telehealth anywhere in Washington state and in person in Mountlake Terrace.
Supervision & Consultation
You deserve guidance that reflects your values and centers your growth — not compliance or perfectionism.
At Fiddlehead Therapy, I offer individual and group supervision that is:
Anti-oppression and justice-oriented
Grounded in real-world practice
Relational and honoring of all your parts
Practical, with resources, templates, and tools when helpful
Accessible, flexible, and encouraging
I’m a Washington State–approved supervisor for LSWAICs, LMHCAs, and LMFTAs, offering supervision for licensure and support for those starting or growing a private practice.
I also provide consultation and training for therapists and multidisciplinary professionals across the U.S. in areas including perinatal mental health, weight stigma, and fat liberation.
“Remembering ourselves, becoming embodied again, is slow work — it is compassionate instead of perfectionistic, communal instead of individualistic, process oriented instead of achievement oriented, and mutual instead of hierarchical.”

Acknowledgments & Commitments
Fiddlehead Therapy acknowledges, with humility, that we meet on land that is within the ancestral territory of the suq ̀ʷabš “People of Clear Salt Water” (Suquamish People) and the Snohomish people and their successors, the Tulalip Tribes. Many of people we work with also reside on the land of the dxʷdəwʔabš (Duwamish People). We respect that Coast Salish tribes continue to live here, as they have for thousands of years, protecting the land and waters of their ancestors for future generations. We respect their sovereignty, their right to self-determination, and honor their sacred spiritual connection with the land and water.
We strive to be honest about our roles as white settlers and social workers, acknowledging the traumatic history of genocide and forced removal of Indigenous people from this area and the forced removal of children from Native families, as well as our ongoing participation in colonial and white supremacist systems. We recognize the traumatic legacy of slavery and stolen labor upon which this country and its institutions were built. We honor the many QTBIPOC (queer, trans, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) healers, teachers, artists, and leaders from whom we’ve learned and grown. We commit to an ongoing practice of critically interrogating these histories and our current participation in oppressive systems. We commit to taking action to repair harm, honor and protect this land, and work for a more just future for our collective humanity.
