Meet Sasha

SHE/HER

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Associate, wife, daughter, auntie, friend, community builder, creator, gift giver, animal lover, recovering perfectionist, goofball, and explorer. I feel deeply and embrace the messiness that comes with being human. I live part time on a multi-generational farm in the Columbia River Gorge and part time in the Methow Valley with my husband and our rescue pit bull, Roux. I see clients remotely across OR and WA and in person in Winthrop, WA. In my free time I enjoy cooking, hiking, gravel biking, cross-country skiing, cuddling with my dog, and watching crime dramas.

My Style Is:

A woman sitting on black stairs, leaning in, smiling kindly.

  • I care deeply about my clients, join you in your experience, and work hard to make sure you feel seen and heard.

  • What you see is what you get. In our sessions, and in life, I show up as my whole self.

  • I’m a goofball at heart and occasionally bring humor (and swear words) into our work.

  • I believe that change is always possible and hold onto hope even when you feel like giving up. I know you are doing your best with the tools you have and recognize the impact of context, power, and oppression on your mental and physical well-being. I also know that together we can transform suffering into more secure and resilient relationships.

  • I’m not afraid to call you out/in so you can learn and grow through our work together.
