Sexual concerns such as:
Medical community: As you care for others, my job will be caring for you and your relationships. I have several years of experience as a chaplain working in a hospital alongside a medical team, so I understand the pressures you face on a daily basis and the effects these have on family dynamics. I realize it is important to find a place where you are seen as just yourself and not as a doctor, nurse, etc. If that is something you are looking for, then I am here to help!
Other Therapists: I recognize that being a therapist and finding a therapist for yourself can be challenging. As we know, therapists need support in examining their own lives, stories, and trauma not only to enhance their lives, but their clinical work as well. I have extensive experience working with therapists for individual and couples therapy. My goal is always to facilitate an environment where you feel held and seen.
Supervision and Consultation: I love supervising and consulting on cases. I find working with other therapists on how to strengthen their craft to be something deeply rewarding.
I love talking in front of people and sharing with others. I have spoken at the University of Washington Multiple Sclerosis Center about sexuality and disability and have spoken at adult living facilities concerning sex education. I have also spoken at many faith communities around issues of marriage, communication, and parenting. If you would like me to come speak at your location, please feel free to contact me.

Bailey (she/her) is a Master's degree candidate with Antioch University Seattle. She will begin taking clients in January of 2022.
I believe my clients are the experts of their own lives at any age. For that reason, my approach to therapy is highly collaborative. My hope is to provide a judgement free space where you can explore yourself and your relationships without shame. I work to provide a space where clients feel safe, held, and seen when the outside world can be so harsh. We will thoughtfully pursue the changes that brought you to seek therapy, while remaining open to whatever else might come up during the process.
My theoretical approaches are rooted in Emotion Focused Therapy, Attachment Theory, Solutions Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Structural Family Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Bowenian methods.
If you don't know what any of that means, don't worry! I intentionally approach each of my clients with a theory that I believe suits their definition of the problem and world view. I am always open to feedback about our work together and will formally ask for your input at several points during treatment. On that same note, our work is done when you are satisfied.

More About Me:
I identify as a White, cis-gendered, queer, millennial woman. I am also able-bodied, middle-class, and non-religious. The identities I hold shape how I see the world and inevitably, our work together. As part of our therapeutic work, we'll discuss our shared and differing identities and how those perspectives can help or hinder our work together. While I will broach the topic, I always allow the client to lead how much identity work is part of the therapeutic space. I provide care that is anti-racist, body-positive, and trans-identity affirming.
