I hold a Masters of Counseling Psychology degree from City University of Seattle and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Washington. I am a Washington State Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I have been working in mental health since 2000 in various capacities including providing counseling, mental health assessment, group therapy, psychoeducation, teaching undergraduate psychology students, and creating curriculum for undergraduate psychology courses.
I became a therapist due to my own experiences as a troubled teenager. I dropped out of high school and struggled to find my way afterwards. Therapy literally saved my life and helped me turn it around in a very profound way. I wanted to pay that forward as a therapist.
My treatment approach is individually, strength, neuro-psychologically, and behaviorally based. I believe you come to therapy already equipped with inherent skills to help address your areas of concern, my role is to help you identify and access those strengths and skills, gain insight into and address problematic behaviors, and provide education and information to achieve your goals.
I treat adolescents, individual adults, couples, those in consensual alternative relationship structures, and families with a wide range of concerns including but not limited to: depression, mood disorders, anxiety, relationship and family issues, trauma, grief and loss, parent/child problems, infertility issues, LGBTQIA+, DV victims, and mental health issues resulting from chronic medical conditions. I am a trauma informed provider.
My treatment methods include but are not limited to cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychotherapy, somatic interventions, brain-based interventions, dialectical behavioral therapy, psychoeducation, and family systems therapy. The delivery of these methods is accomplished via individual, couples, relationship, and family therapy either in-person or via Telehealth. We will maintain an open dialogue throughout your therapy process to ensure the methods and focus of treatment remain aligned to your goals. I thoroughly enjoy getting to know all of my clients and their individual and unique perspectives and situations.
