____________________________________________

“You’re not here to perform a perfect audition for healing. You’re here to show up as your full self, and that deserves a space that’s safe, affirming, and very human. I combine Internal Family Systems, gestalt, somatic,and trauma-informed care with a commitment to decolonial and liberatory practice. If you’re navigating gender identity, race, spirituality, or any piece of your life that doesn’t fit a neat box, you’re in the right place. All therapy is online—pajamas optional.”

THE PRACTICAL STUFF

Support staff. Unpaid. Unbothered.

Four animals who have never once respected a session boundary and somehow still help.

Onyx

KITTEN THERAPY DIRECTOR

Runs quality assurance on every couch, cushion, and lap in the building. Attends sessions uninvited.

Auggie

CHIEF NAP OFFICER

Models rest as a legitimate use of a Tuesday afternoon. Consultation strictly by appointment.

Fionn

DIRECTOR OF FUN

Enthusiasm is his entire clinical approach. Has never once asked a clarifying follow-up question.

Rolo

VP OF SNACK ADVOCACY

Holds the position that breaks are clinically indicated. Escalates the matter as often as needed.

Animal support is not a billable service. They have been informed and remain unmoved.

Future provider slots

Every new clinician gets a card here: name, credentials, who they work best with, and a direct link to book.

Clinical supervision

Del is an Approved Clinical Supervisor with openings for prelicensed associates in Oregon and Washington.
