Online therapy in Washington State

Therapy rooted in relationship, connection, and growth

A space to understand yourself more deeply, work through life’s challenges, and build more fulfilling relationships. I work with adults who may feel stuck in their lives or struggle in their relationships with others. Whether you’re questioning what you want for yourself or finding your way through a life transition, therapy can be a space to explore what matters to you and learn to trust yourself. I offer culturally attuned, LGBTQ+ affirming therapy, with a special focus on supporting BIPOC, queer, and gender-expansive people. I have a soft spot for working with Asian Americans.

Hello, nice to meet you

I’m so glad that you found me, I’m Mia

The work I do is rooted in relationship and connection. I believe meaningful change in therapy comes from having a space with someone you trust, where you feel deeply understood and genuinely cared for. It also comes from the gentle challenges that show up when we explore the habits or patterns you’d like to change. This is how I work with clients. That doesn’t mean therapy with me is only serious. It doesn’t have to be. In therapy, you have permission to show up as your whole human self. There’s room for all of you, including laughing and random tangents.

My approach is relational, integrative, culturally attuned, and LGBTQ+ affirming.

I enjoy working with people who are figuring out how to be more fully themselves, trust themselves, and build more fulfilling and meaningful connections. I also enjoy working with people who are exploring their identities, working through life’s challenges, and making sense of how their culture, family, and lived experiences have shaped them. The people I work with are looking to discover who they are beyond pain, trauma, and harmful narratives. They value growth and community, and they want to be authentic and understand themselves.

Right now, you might find yourself:

  • Overthinking your relationships and wondering where you stand with others

  • Finding it hard to set boundaries without feeling guilty or feeling responsible for other people

  • Wanting deeper connections but finding it difficult to be vulnerable or let yourself be fully seen

  • Feeling caught between family expectations and the life you want for yourself

  • Wanting to feel more sure of yourself and trust yourself

  • Looking for a life that feels more connected to who you are and what matters to you

Whatever it is that’s bringing you to therapy, we’ll make space to explore your experiences and what’s been coming up for you. Let’s work together to make changes that help you live in ways that feel true to who you are. We can make sense of the patterns you find yourself in and understand your needs. You’ll practice expressing yourself more openly, and we’ll find new ways for you to understand yourself and relate to other people

You are whole and complete. You are not broken. I see you within the contexts in which you exist. The society, cultures, identities, and relationships that have shaped you have also impacted how you experience yourself and the world. Your context paints the pictures of the multiple complexities that you hold in your experience of your life.

I show up authentically in our relationship - I bring my warmth, curious, and humorous nature. I hope that in doing so, it encourages you to do the same. Together, we create space for you to be exactly as you are at all times - all parts of you are welcome. I honor your humanity. 

I'm humbled by the opportunity to work with you and be a part of the process that reconnects you to yourself, your relationships, and the world around you. 

 Looking forward to meeting you.

Therapy is a sacred space. It’s a space for growth, connection, exploration, vulnerability, healing, risk taking, and creating the life you want to have and a becoming of the person you want to be, and recognition of all that you already are. It’s a place for you to unravel, be authentically you, to share your stories, and experience yourself in a new light.
