Meet Our Team!

Hi, I’m Scout!

As a transwoman who has the pleasure to work with other transgender and queer humans, it is a privilege to be a part of your journey. I started Mockingbird Counseling to be a place where our community could feel comfortable dealing with the challenges we face. A place where everyone, regardless of their individual challenges or needs, can feel safe and supported as they explore their authenticity and its expression. I practice from an affirmative framework, which means that whoever you are, I accept and affirm you. Many aspects of our lives and identity change over time and with experience and it is essential to explore and be affirmed for these changes. I provide a space where you can openly discuss these changes without fear of judgment, overreaction, or shame. I want to support your journey and help find ways to make it easier and more fulfilling for you.

In my career, I have worked with all kinds of incredible humans and one thing that is clear to me is that each of us is wonderful just for who we are. We make mistakes, we have regrets, but ultimately, these things can help us learn how to avoid them in the future and grow into the incredible people we are! I will always remind you of the extraordinary and unique person you are and give you the space to truly be that person.

I am located in Seattle, Washington and I primarily offer telehealth-based therapy to both Ohio and Washington clients. I believe that therapy is most effective when it is individualized and so I will never try to “shoehorn” you into a specific approach or methodology. I want to work with you to figure out what your goals are and then help you meet them. So often we are forced to face challenges alone, I will give you a space where you are never alone and where we can work together to resolve the challenges you face.

It takes an immense amount of courage to realize that the way you have always done something or the way you’ve always been perceived doesn’t work anymore. Let’s work together to find new ways that do.
