More about Jude
- 43 years' experience

- LMFT
I am an older out/open/proud transgender man. I have expertise and extensive experience in serving transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming clients. I prefer to serve my own community members but do not discriminate toward others. I am licensed as a therapist in Washington state, as both a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and as a Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), with 43 years of professional counseling experience. My professional background also includes having worked as a Psychiatric Physician Associate for 41 years. Before my career in human medicine and mental health, I worked for 20+ years as a Veterinary Medical Assistant and understand the value of animal companions and of the natural environment in supporting healthy living. I have experience in treating clients who have ADHD, an autism spectrum disorder, chronic pain/chronic illness and/or end-of-life concerns, sleeping disorders, anxiety, PTSD, and depression.
I believe that you are the expert on your own story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Making the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started. I am looking forward to working with you to find solutions to reach your goals in therapy.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Jude has been very helpful in my journey- I highly recommend Jude.
I appreciate Jude’s knowledge and approach.
Jude is a compassionate, caring therapist who's been incredibly supportive through my very unique path in life. As a transgender person it was great to not have to explain myself or educate him as he is also openly trans and his background and knowledge around the subject is extensive. As I was looking for a therapist, he checked every box and succeeded in giving me the help and tools I needed to navigate through trauma, relationship, transgender, recent and unexpected medical, work and financial hardships. I always felt safe and comfortable to talk about my thoughts and interests, it was always recieved and reciprocated in a positive way! I've already recommended people to Jude in the past and I will continue to do so!
My son has made enormous improvements with Jude's sessions.
Jude is very supportive and encouraging me in my goal to strengthen my emotional health

Jude is very insightful on how to deal with stress and helping me feel worthy in my work / life balance
Jude is a great person to work with. I have increased my tools and understanding of myself with Jude's help. Highly recommend.
Jude is highly experienced and understands a lot about many daily problems around anxiety and and interacting with people. He is happy to share his wisdom regarding the wide variety of life challenges which greatly increased my awareness of and ability to deal with many of my struggles in just a handful of sessions. He was easy to talk to and very understanding of my needs.
when i was first looking into therapy via video chat i was not totally on board. but Jude has made it incredibly easy and comfortable. instantly i felt confortable with him and able to chat with him openly about my concerns and needs. a postive connection with a counselor is very important to me and having a counciler that i can also relate to as well. He really listens and had good feed back. i definitely highly recommend him. and i look forward to out next session.
Jude is great. His ability to speak ease into my situation is remarkable and I enjoy hearing his thoughts and insights during our conversations.
With just beginning it's been great.
Talks specifically to my issues and gives me resources to help me along my way
