About
I am a licensed mental health counselor, licensed marriage and family therapist and substance use disorder professional in the State of Washington with over 15 years of experience. I have worked primarily for the military so I am very familiar with the military culture and lifestyle. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including addiction, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, midlife/existential crisis, divorce, career changes and parenting struggles.
My therapy style is open, nonjudgmental, interactive and I seek to empower clients. I specialize in CBT, motivational interviewing but I also incorporate family systems theory. I believe you're the expert in your own life and I am just here to help you along the path that would make you the better version of yourself. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. This is your therapy and your time. Building a strong therapeutic relationship where you can be comfortable, open and honest is first and foremost.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. The fact that you're reading this is the first step in healing and growing. I commend you for taking the next steps to seek help to be the best version of yourself!
I look forward to working with you!
