About me

My name is Cam and I am eager to work with people who are ready to dig into their experiences, raise awareness of their processes, and heal past and current wounds. I hold several privileged and marginalized identities that inform the way I support people. Existing in an oppressive system, that at times told me I did not belong, has given me the empathy to support people who have felt othered, unseen, underserved, and underrepresented. My hope is to offer a therapeutic relationship that builds your self supports and bridges environmental supports to communities you are a part of or building. With internal and external supports, wounds can be mended that interrupt you from meeting your needs and seeing the growth you desire. 

I was drawn to the field of counseling through my own therapy, where I experienced the impact of understanding my self and raising awareness of my processes, while healing in relation to another. I was also drawn to this work through a felt sense of congruence between my temperament, attributes, skills, abilities, and experiences, and the therapeutic work of holding a container for others to heal. I obtained a Master’s Degree in Counseling with a focus on relationships and families from Portland State University. I’m a member of the Gestalt Training Center in Seattle where I have received training for individual and couples therapy through a contemporary Gestalt perspective.  

My therapeutic work includes working with relationships of all forms (i.e. platonic, romantic, familial, etc.), and I aim to improve each person’s ability to communicate while maintaining their separateness in connection with the other. I also enjoy working with queer people, trans and gender non-conforming folks, and people who are interested in depth work. As a transfemme (wíŋkte) and mixed (iyeska), white and indigenous person, I am dedicated to promoting social justice by recognizing and honoring the nuances of gender, race, sexuality, ethnicity, and all abilities.

Together, you and I can experiment with the changes you seek to meet your needs. Let’s have a conversation together to see if we are a good fit.
