You’re Ready…

To embrace and walk in this world as your authentic self. But I hear you whispering – fear and anxiety are holding you back. You’re not alone.

Untangling gender and sexual identity are questions no one can explore on their own.

We all get to a place where we need a helping mind to make sense of things. Feeling like this for so long must have weighed on you.

You deserve to be you; the time is now to start making some changes, so you can have the life you imagine for yourself.

Here’s what you can expect.

The path isn’t a one-size-fits-all and won’t be easy at times. It will be worth it, however.

I will conduct every session over teletherapy. This type of therapy means that you can have your session from the comfort of your own home or parked car – with your animals nearby and your favorite snacks at hand.

Therapy can incorporate your lived space to accelerate your progress.

One of my highest goals is for you to be at ease speaking your mind. Sessions employ a nonjudgmental and compassionate approach free from discrimination and bias. Humor is helpful, yes! On occasion, a good meme or video is an excellent way to ease tension.

After…

You can be who you want to be in your sessions.

With a continued presence in therapy, that nagging fear and anxiety can become empowerment. Confidence will flow throughout the many areas of your life, and you will find ease in previously difficult choices.

Throughout our work, you will find that what used to be challenging to talk about is now a “pass the salt” type of conversation. Things won’t feel so heavy anymore.

We watched you reach your goals of coming out, starting HRT, or celebrating social transition milestones; you set one foot closer to the best version of yourself – your authentic self.

Let’s start the conversation.

Hi, I’m Kassondra.

My goal is to help you find your true self.

I use she/her pronouns please. As a queer-identified person, it is only natural to support my community. I have been passionate about helping queer individuals find their true selves for years now, just as others have helped me find myself in the same manner.

You’ll quickly find that I am always eager to learn about TikTok and the newest hit-streaming drama. As an old-school introvert, I am always excited for book recommendations and can chat anyone’s ear off about gemstones and their healing properties.

I received my BA in Liberal Arts from The Evergreen State College and my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Antioch University of Seattle for my clinical background. I completed a year-long clinical internship at Seattle Counseling Services, where I served as a staff member. Additionally, I have worked at Providence Regional Medical Center and Crisis Connections.

When I am not working…

I spend time with my partner, cat Sadie, and dogs Mochi and Plum on our small farm in Ellensburg, Washington. My animals are very dear to me, and they come to sessions, too. You will sometimes hear their little bells in the distance.
