You’ve come to the right place.
My name is Hunter. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I do individual therapy with adults and older teens. Scroll down to learn more about me and my practice.
My caseload is currently full. Please reach out if you would like to be on my wait list.
My Philosophy
Therapy isn’t about fixing the person that you are. It’s about uncovering narratives of shame, and writing new stories. Many of us have been told to shrink, fit a mold, or stay silent. My goal is to empower you to break free from these scripts and explore your own values and strengths. In our sessions, we’ll work together to build resilience and self-compassion. We will do a deep dive into whatever it is that holds you back.
My Practice
My demeanor is casual and interactive. I strive to create a safe, energizing space; a place to pause, take a breath, and explore. I believe that when we feel comfortable, we can be vulnerable, and when we’re vulnerable, we’re able to grow.
My Education and Trainings
I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Washington and am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW). With a background in community mental health, I’ve been practicing as a mental health practitioner for four years, and have a decade of experience in social services and social work. In my practice, I draw from various modalities and frameworks, including coherence therapy, expressive arts therapy, as well as mindfulness and somatic-based approaches.
Who I Work With
I work with adults and older teens (16+) who experience challenges with anxiety, self-worth, and/or identity exploration. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals.
About Me
I identify as queer and nonbinary, and bring my own journey of self-discovery and acceptance into my work. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring Seattle’s restaurants and coffee shops, and unwinding with my cat, Frank.

The fee for individual therapy is $165 per 50 min session. The fee for an intake session is $200. Payment is due at the time of session. Unfortunately, all sliding scale spots are full at this time.

If you are seeking a letter for gender affirming surgery, feel free to contact me. I am passionate about trans healthcare and willing to provide this service on a sliding scale basis.
Insurance Information:
I am an in-network provider for Premera, Lifewise, Cigna, and Regence.
For all other insurances, I am considered an out-of-network provider. I would be happy to provide you with a superbill (itemized receipt of services) for you to send to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement, as many insurance companies give out-of-network reimbursements for mental health services. Please check with your insurance provider before our first session regarding out-of-network benefits/potential reimbursements.
Location Details:
I only offer online telehealth sessions on Zoom at this time
