"It's my job is to walk beside the client at their pace in order to see their world. Using a cognitive-behavioral approach in therapy means clients not only uncover insights about themselves but they also learn about changes needed to reach their desired goals. My clients leave with numerous tools to utilize throughout their lives. People are inspiring creations to me, I love working with people, regardless of their issues, and believe each of us has the power to shape our own future into whatever we desire. Personalized solutions are critical for the success of each individual, couple and family."

"I believe that everyone has an inner strength and that you are the "expert" of your life. We will work together to find and enhance your strengths and identify areas in your life that you would like to make changes."

Life can always improve when we face our obstacles and develop new, positive ways of coping in our most trying situations."

"I have been a mental health therapist for over 24 years. As a therapist, I have found people want to feel empowered to manage their own life. I work with clients to learn to manage emotions and negative thoughts that are running their lives. I teach clients to learn to respond to people and situations and not to react to them. I am a DialecticaI Behavior Therapist (DBT) . I have also received extensive training in cognitive and behaviors therapies to work with people who experience depression and anxiety. In addition, I completed my dissertation on the attention system and working memory. This makes me qualified to evaluate and help people who experience learning disabilities and problems with their attention and memory."

"I look forward to working with you to identify the issues you have in your or your child’s life, and to work collaboratively to gain understanding of tools to overcome them. My passion is to work with children and their families to improve the current circumstance you may face. Does your child struggle with regulating their emotions? Do you feel like yelling is the only way to effectively communicate with your child? Is your child struggling to engage with peers and adults in positive ways? My goal is to come alongside each client and identify underlying issues and identify effective ways to engage with each other."

"The answer to what you are going through is within you. It helps to have a space and a person to help us see that within ourselves. Life has a lot of ways of making us forget how capable and strong each of us are. If you are struggling to find this within yourself to help you overcome what obstacles you are currently facing, we can work together to help you get in touch with yourself again."

"Work with youth and families is the sole focus of my practice. I work afternoons and evenings to accommodate school schedules. I have 20 + years of clinical experience as a child mental health specialist. It is my belief change occurs away from the office working on coping skills and strategies learned during therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a primary form of treatment; however, other forms of therapy may be implemented. As a WSU summa cum laude graduate, I received my MSW in 1996 and am WA State Licensed. It is a privilege to work with area youth and their families."

"I believe the power to change, grow, and overcome obstacles lies within each one of us. Sometimes, for many different reasons, we need additional support to identify, and build on the strengths we have within us to accomplish what we want. I have 14 years of experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support clients as they accomplish their goals and overcome life stressors, depression, anxiety, grief and trauma."

"The decision to seek counseling can be the first step toward personal growth and the relief of distress. Suffering is deeply personal and individual. You may be experiencing sadness and/or chronic worry that impacts your relationships and work. Perhaps you struggle with profound loneliness, fitting-in, an addiction or an important relationship unraveling. You may struggle with being patient and kind with yourself or others. I specialize in helping adults with depression and anxiety, addiction and control issues, grief and loss. My approach is a blend of humanistic, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness modalities."

"I work specifically with couples using emotionally focused therapy (EFT). Counselor strategies for couples are much different than what a traditional counselor might utilize. I am a systemic couple’s counselor, this means that I see your relationship as my client; it is for this reason that I typically do not see partners individually. EFT is the most empirically validated treatment protocol based on 50 years of research to help couples reconnect and feel fulfilled. EFT can help by focusing on your attachment bond, you don’t have to fall out of love anymore. "

"When you purchase a new car you hope the warranty will take care of any problems that arise. When we choose a life partner, however, we are taking them on an "as is" basis which is fine when the romance is high and the challenges are few. What about when the demands of work or a career, finances and the entrance of children into the mix happens? The 'new car smell' can definitely begin to fade out of a poorly maintained relationship."

"As we travel our journey, there are times that we need extra help and support. Especially, to move through the rough and uncomfortable times. In therapy, I believe it is important to meet people at what stage they are in while making that journey. This allows us to build the right tool box to equip them for success. I have over 15 years of experience working with adults, teenagers, and adolescents. My experience has been around helping individuals with anxiety, depression, parenting, behavior management, trauma, and other life stressors. My specialties are older adolescents (15+), and adults."

"I am a specialist in treating sex addiction/betrayal trauma as well as it's related issues: depression, anxiety, etc. I also treat family members and spouses who have been affected by addiction and find themselves dealing with betrayal trauma. I am a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT-C) and have been working with betrayal trauma and addiction for many years. In our office we work as a team to help both the individual and the couple recover from the impact of addiction and move forward in meaningful ways. As a trauma specialist I am also an EMDR provider. I also offer walk/talk therapy for clients who prefer this modality."

"We all experience distressing emotions and are faced with challenging times in our lives. Sometimes additional support is needed because these experiences can be overwhelming and too much to handle on our own. Sharing your thoughts, feelings, and personal experiences can feel uncomfortable. This is why it is so important to me to provide a safe and caring environment for clients to feel understood and respected. It is my primary goal to build trust and provide support to my clients."

"We all go through difficult times in our lives and at times we are able to overcome the challenges on our own, other times it is helpful to seek support through therapy to help acquire new skills to help us live the life we hope for ourselves. As your therapist, I’m committed to support you and walk with you through this journey to accomplish your goals. "
