I have over 20 years of experience working as a mental health counselor in the State of Washington. My areas of expertise include individual, couple, and family therapy. My specialties are PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and substance abuse. Also, I have been facilitating different groups for 20 years and a DBT group for 9 years. All of the clients who have committed themself to this DBT class have learned some specific DBT skills that they can apply in their daily lives when they feel depressed or anxious.

The Mindful Kaizen was created because I know life can present extremely challenging situations. It can feel like there is little to no hope that things will change. To encounter difficult times and feel unsure of where or who to turn to can feel overwhelming. If you are reading this, you have already taken a huge step toward making a change. Whether you are experiencing internal distress or distress in your relationships, I am here to help you work toward building your desired future one step at a time. Together, let's make this a mindful kaizen.

I enjoy working with individuals age 15 and older as well as couples and families. My style of counseling is an integrative one, combining humor, education, and interventions encompassing a broad range of therapeutic approaches. My experience includes a strong background in mental health and addiction counseling. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness based practices. I bring with me an array of life experiences working and traveling abroad. I believe change can happen in a few focused sessions. Therapy does not necessarily have to be long term to be effective.

I enjoy helping couples, families and individuals in working on relationship issues and concerns in a wide variety of areas these may be facing or dealing with. Some of the issues I can help with include depression, anxiety, health and medical problems, grief, loss, transitions, adjustment, self-esteem, troubled/at-risk youth or children, marriage and couple relationship issues, step-families, relationship concerns, sexual issues, teen concerns, child development, sibling and extended family concerns, and more.

If you've ever felt uncomfortable with mental health diagnosis and thought "there's more to me than a diagnosis", you might be looking for an Enneagram Informed Therapist. I work with adults and couples who are typically diagnosed with anxiety, depression, or ADHD and use the personality framework of the Enneagram to help them understand their whole self, rather than just their diagnosis. I am a licensed Marriage & Family therapist, as well as an Enneagram coach who combines Western and Eastern treatment methods. I have additional training in Hakomi Method, Drama Therapy, and am certified by CP Enneagram.

I work best with couples and individuals who want to work on themselves and/or a relationship with the goal of success and freedom.

By understanding yourself in a deeper way, I strive for clients to have better intimacy, communication, and satisfaction from their relationships and their internal world. We’ll leverage your curiosity to co-create an environment where awareness, honesty, and freedom can occur.

You can succeed in life especially in love, marriage, and family! Even though you may be experiencing great pain because of personal trauma and/or relationship conflicts, you can turn things around. However, you may need assistance from a trained, compassionate professional to help you, either as an individual or with your loved ones, to restore trust, friendship, joy, and deep love.

My approach to therapy is grounded on trust, respect and the honoring of your experiences. I work with individuals, couples and families from a systems based orientation. That means you and your concerns are all in context of your family system. In treatment, we look at how your family of origin impacts how and where you may be stuck. Whether it is anxiety, depression, anger or an addiction, we can discover the source of the problem and help you reach your potential.

My approach to therapy is very client focused. I am a systemic therapist and will try and look at the whole picture of your life to help figure out how to help.
