About
I am a licensed Mental Health counselor in the state of Washington. I have had a private practice for 19 years and have been involved in an agency for 15 years where I worked with children, adolescents and families. I am a compassionate, respectful, and an understanding person. I connect with others in a positive manner and I have a good sense of humor. I am creative, I formally owned a cake and flower shop, I paint and teach art classes. My creativity is part of my therapy. I often involve clients in art therapy.
I specialize in depression, anxiety, trauma, self esteem, bi-polar, ADHD, parenting support and other mental health issues. My approach is often Cognitive Behavior therapy, Narrative therapy and de-escalation. I am a directive but respectful counselor who can see the strength in people and attempt to help the client see them. I have worked intensely with high risk clients who have been suicidal or were involved with legal issues.
Counseling can be hard at times. It takes a strong person to ask for support. I want to be your support and help guide you to a healthy place.
