Meet Mia! She's a master's level clinician dedicated to supporting youth and their families, with a special passion for fostering understanding and acceptance for the neurodivergent community. Mia earned her master's degree in Applied Child and Adolescent Psychology from the University of Washington, where she also completed her Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and a minor in Bioethics.

Mia has a special affinity for the vibrant, high-energy world of ADHD. She is deeply committed to neuro-affirming care, ensuring that her neurodivergent clients feel seen and celebrated rather than 'fixed.' Her goal is to transform the therapy space into a laboratory for self-discovery, where youth can learn to harness their natural strengths.

Mia's clinical philosophy centers on treating the symptoms, not the diagnosis, using evidence-based methods tailored to each client's unique needs, pulling from her training in CBT, ERP, PCIT-SM, PCIT, and behavioral parent training. She has hands-on clinical experience from her practicum at Brave Seattle and her two years as a Pediatric Mental Health Specialist at Seattle Children's Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine Unit. Mia primarily focuses on building emotion regulation and distress tolerance, approaching her work with sensitivity and compassion. She champions early intervention to help empower children to navigate the world confidently.
