About

Welcome. I am a licensed mental health therapist in Washington State with over with over 18 years of experience working with clients with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, parenting problems, and educational and career challenges. My approach to counseling has been shaped through my work with children, teens, families, and individuals in varied settings with clients from diverse backgrounds. This experience has influenced and helped to grow my commitment to providing collaborative, compassionate support throughout the therapeutic relationship.

Positive change is an attainable goal. At times in our lives it can feel insurmountable to effect the change we want. Counseling can help by providing a safe, supportive, compassionate environment that allows us to authentically examine issues and concerns, and to identify ways to cope with and decrease distress. It can help to create and restore hope and purpose. My therapy style is person-centered with a focus on a collaborative, respectful relationship that emphasizes strengths, empowerment, and goals. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, solution-focused, psychodynamic, and existential therapy.

Creating the change you wish for is a kind of journey and I would be honored to travel that path with you. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
