About
Mariah
Hi there! My name is Mariah (pronouns: She/They) and I am so grateful you're here. I value building strong therapeutic relationships with my clients and supporting them through seasons of stress, transition, and self-discovery. Many of my clients have their own unique journey of managing anxiety, depression, trauma, gender dysphoria, and interpersonal relationship struggles.
As a queer person of color, I am especially passionate about supporting members of the LGBTQIA+ community, women/people of color, and those who may identify as neurodivergent. While I tailor my approach to fit the needs of my clients, I enjoy utilizing humanistic and person-centered approaches that are rooted in anti-racism and trauma-informed care. Let's work together to bring peace, clarity, and self-love into your everyday practices.
Outside of work, I enjoy going to the movies, playing cozy video games, building LEGO sets, reading manga or fantasy novels, and traveling (my favorite spots are Japan, Ireland, Amsterdam, Thailand, Paris, and the Philippines). I also have four dogs (a Corgi, a Korean Terrier, and 2 mini poodle mixes) that keep me active and entertained.
I am a Philadelphia born, Los Angeles grown, and current Washington resident who loves diverse communities rich in activism, allyship, and compassionate collectivism.
