Hi there, I am a queer-identified therapist who specializes in working with adult individuals and couples. My approach to therapy starts with building a foundation of safety and trust together as I learn about your life, history and what you are seeking to work on or change through therapy. I will work with you to deepen your understanding of your patterns and where they are rooted, and to develop emotional strength and resilience to sit with your emotions long enough to understand them and make informed decisions as you move through your life and relationships.

I believe in the importance of feeling connected in relationships, to our environment, and to ourselves. Addressing the “here and now” that arises during therapy allows our sessions to adapt and work with the difficult emotions or thoughts that come up, in an environment that is judgment free and safe. I specialize in working with those who are experiencing anxiety, depression, agoraphobia, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem issues, grief and chronic pain, among other issues. I am LGBTQIA+, gender-affirming, and enjoy working with clients along the spectrum of neurodiversity and disability. Learn more about me here: cicadamh.org

While some of the issues leading us to start psychotherapy might be relieved relatively quickly, I have found that many issues are more complex and sometimes require time and the right attention to effectively work through. I believe the best work ahead of us isn't to alleviate our negative symptoms, but to help create real, lasting change; change that helps bring us closer to what we want for ourselves. I strive to create the connection, attunement, and sense of care needed for us to do this work together.

I believe that therapy can help us see the unconscious patterns of behavior that we unknowingly live our lives within; that it can help us find some distance from our up-close feelings, and see ourselves with kindness; that it can bring vitality to stagnation, and enliven our sense of creativity; that it can help us pursue our desires; that it can be a place where we wrestle with the things we thought were true, and find comfort in the midst of uncertainty; that it can reveal something about the relationships we seek; and that it can teach us how to grieve our yesterdays, find gratitude for today, and hope for tomorrow.

Are you seeking your truth? Feeling stuck? Do you want a therapist who really gets you? Perhaps you are part of a relationship or polycule, seeking to work on communication and intimacy in a non-judgemental environment. I am an art therapist and counselor working with individual adults and relationships from a person-centered lense. As an artist, DJ, and Jewish trans woman (free Palestine!) I know how important it can be to have a therapist who has lived experience on the margins. Using a warm and direct approach, I support people in the process of living their truths, creating the life and relationships that are genuine to them.

Many of the people I meet with live with the impacts of difficult childhoods and family dynamics, have suffered abuse or neglect, or have had persistent experiences of being other-ed for various reasons. My therapy participants are intuitive, creative people who have been through a lot and feel like there's just something they haven't been able to get to in their other tries with therapy. Sometimes they know exactly what kind of help they want. Other times they aren't exactly sure why they're suffering, but they know they want some relief and a better understanding of their own lives.

I moved to Seattle in 2017 after spending the previous ten years on the East Coast in New York City and Washington, DC. I grew up in Omaha, Nebraska as a Jewish gay kid who always felt “out of place” in a community where these identities were largely invisible. I also lost my mother to cancer at the tender age of 16 while attempting to accept my gay identity. As a therapist, these experiences have helped me develop resiliency and to better understand how oppressive systems can create feelings of loneliness, isolation, despair, and hopelessness. I work a lot with queer clients around belonging, open relationships, and sexual shame.
