Hi, I’m Jenia.

I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and I hold a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from the University of Washington.

From personal experience, I know how difficult it can be to begin the search for a mental health care provider. Thank you for being here.
As a “Third Culture Kid'', I understand the difficulty of finding belonging in an ever-changing world and cultural landscape. My experience as a Neonatal Intensive Care nurse informs my approach in empowering bereaved parents and guardians, as well as humans undergoing acute traumatic experiences. My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming and is founded on a culture of consent, weight neutrality, feminism, sex positivity, and radical self-acceptance.

Do you need help managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, or cPTSD? Are you looking for support with healing trauma, bereavement and grief, forming secure attachments to yourself and others, or psychedelic integration? If so, you might vibe with my welcoming and supportive approach.

Together, we will co-author a healing pathway held within a safe container that will empower you to move through traumatic experiences and support your growth toward your mental health goals.

I’m trained in Ketamine Assisted Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for adults and those with trauma. I'm currently in the process of attaining Level 1 training in the Hakomi Method (mindfulness-centered somatic psychotherapy).

I prefer to view humans through a human lens rather than through a diagnostic manual. If you think we might be a good fit, I’d love to speak with you and find out more about your mental health goals.

    I keep a few spaces open for low-income clients. If you feel this is reflective of your economic circumstances, please let me know. Please keep in mind that I hold these spaces open to people who are marginalized and do not have access to quality mental health care.

  • If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, kindly do so by text, call, or email at least 48 hours in advance of your scheduled appointment. Any appointments that are rescheduled or cancelled less than 48 hours will be charged the full session rate. If you intend to reschedule your appointment, please be aware that I cannot guarantee another available time within the same time slot or within the same week.

    The only exceptions for late cancellations are for emergencies (i.e., death or birth in the family, an accident) or serious illnesses or injuries of yourself or someone you care for. Work or travel-related conflicts will not be exceptions to this policy. This policy is necessary because a time commitment is made to you and is held exclusively for you. Fees incurred on same day cancellations may be waived in the event of an emergency on a case-by-case basis
