Therapists in Woodinville, WA

In my practice as a counselor, I believe that relationships are both formative and transformative. Most people find a connection between their relationships and the struggles they experience in their lives. Therefore, I approach counseling from an interpersonal perspective. In our sessions together, I will ask questions about your past and current relationships and their contribution to the issues that bring you to therapy. Where appropriate, I also incorporate cognitive-behavioral techniques in my practice. In addition to our time directly together, you may also be asked to complete homework between sessions in order to provide continuity between sessions.

I specialize in assessment and solution-oriented psychological consultations with children, adolescents, and adults. My work is active, directive, pragmatic, & collaborative, focusing on meaningful and measurable behavioral change, clinical relevance, social validity, client satisfaction, and cost-effectiveness. I have expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorders & related conditions, behavioral challenges, Autism spectrum disorders & neurodiversity, bipolar spectrum disorders, depression and anxiety spectrum disorders, OCD, shyness, relational difficulties, and life transition challenges.

My ideal client might want to work on anxiety, depression, relationships, work stress, existential fears, trauma, overall self-development and emotional regulation, skill building.
