If you are struggling with depression or anxiety then I can help you. I also work with couples who want to fight less. Thirdly, I specialize in helping those deconstructing from high control and unhealthy religions. And finally, have you been traumatized? I am an advanced EMDR provider. There are a lot of choices out there for your therapist. If you work with me, then you will find someone who is down to earth and who bases their practices and techniques in research not speculation. I want to motivate you to change and show you your individualized path forward. You will feel better and your relationships will be happier again.
I have extensive experience working with people. Some of the highlights of my career include working in K-12 schools, a non-profit, and for WA state. I work with adults and try to meet them on their level and truly get to know them as we start to make change in their lives. I have seen remarkable positive change in clients with talk therapy. Help is here.
I value your time, money, and willingness to challenge yourself by entering therapy. You are the expert of you. I am just a guide. I know that positive change for you is possible, and I would be honored to get to know and help you. If you are ready for a new and improved life then reaching out to me is the first step in a journey to meet a new you.
