I have in person availability in Tacoma, please reach out to see about getting added to my schedule.
My ideal client is someone who recognizes that their story is still being told and that right now they may need some support. Success looks different for everyone and my ideal client is someone who is willing to explore how that looks for them and has the willingness to work to get there.
My approach as a counselor is to meet you where you are, learn about your strengths, challenges, and goals, and then to walk alongside you through the process. I have experience supporting people through trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and more and I utilize many evidence-based interventions to support clients.
You are the expert of your story and it means something that you have taken the step to look into therapy. I would encourage you to take the next step and set up an appointment to provide yourself with the opportunity to engage with your challenges right now and work towards what success means for you.
