Hi there, my name is Devin and I am currently pursuing a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Bushnell University. My personal approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that every individual’s story holds the seeds of resilience and growth. I combine Narrative, Feminist, and Person-centered ideologies, along with mindfulness practices, to help water those seeds. With a deep respect for each person’s lived experiences and the wild complexities of human-ing, I hope to co-create an environment where we can honor who you have been, validate who you are, and nourish the person you are becoming.

I specialize in:

• Relational issues, helping folks navigate the intricacies of family, friendship, and community.

• Identity exploration, supporting clients in their journeys of self‐discovery including gender, sexuality, cultural, or spiritual identity.

• Queer‐affirming care, holding a safe & inclusive environment for LGBTQIA+ clients.

• Narrative feminist therapy, honoring personal stories while examining social and cultural influences as well as centering different perspectives.

• Eastern‐inspired practices, integrating mindfulness, meditation, ritual, and body‐mind awareness to foster holistic well‐being.

Before joining Alive Counseling Clinic, I worked with children impacted by trauma and disability at the elementary level and have had the honor of serving as a childbirth educator, as well as a birth doula. I also worked as a teaching assistant for public speaking and women’s studies courses at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. These are all still passions of mine and inform the way I interact with the world. When I am not in session, you will find me connecting with my family, chatting with my plants, participating in community events, and singing loudly on long drives.

I am excited to get to know you.

Warmly,

Devin
