Hi, I’m Dasia (she/they).

My relationship with counseling began when I entered therapy for an addiction that shaped my early adulthood. Therapy offered me a space where I felt genuinely grounded, supported, and seen for the first time in my life. My inspiration for becoming a therapist was rooted in the love and safety I found in the therapeutic relationship.

Through my personal journey with counseling and my professional training and education, I have come to wholeheartedly believe that every human possesses the ability to heal and grow. Viewing all people as fundamentally resilient and resourceful, I see my role in therapy as akin to that of a steward: tending to clients as they work to rediscover their innate internal wisdom. My mission is to meet clients with a loving and steady presence so that they may explore all of the tender, messy, and confusing parts of existence. I also see therapy as a space to honor the beauty and wonder that is so characteristic of the human experience.

I have a Master of Arts in Marriage, Couple, and Family Therapy from Lewis & Clark. I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Associate supervised by Stephen Keeley, LPC and Deah Baird, LPC. My theoretical foundation is trauma informed, attachment based, and draws from Emotionally Focused, Person Centered, and Somatic therapies. Additionally, I have completed professional training in Emotionally Focused Therapy, am currently a Teaching Assistant and am in ongoing consultation for this modality. In session I use mindfulness as an instrument to help clients increase self-awareness and self-compassion, move through painful and immobilizing places, and journey within to regain access to concealed or restrained inner magic. My intention is to walk alongside clients as they envision new possibilities for their lives, while transforming in ways that reflect their unique needs, values, and desires.

As an activist and systemic thinker, issues of equity and justice are always on my mind. Given our current cultural and political landscape, many of us are in real need of de-stigmatizing and non-shaming therapeutic spaces where we can fully be ourselves. My hope as a therapist is to give folks a space where they don’t have to edit or disown any of their parts. I am body positive, sex positive, kink positive, LQBTQIA affirming, anti-racist, and spiritually open. I value working with couples and families of all kinds, including with non-traditional and non-monogamous relational orientations. Everyone is welcome here!
