Hello and welcome. By taking the time to seek counseling, you are taking a big step toward wellness. I understand that finding the right fit in counseling is of vital importance to the healing you want to experience. My approach toward counseling is focused on the person sitting (virtually) in front of me. My aim in establishing a helpful counseling relationship is to build a space where my clients feel safe, heard, seen, respected, and cared for. I believe that effective counseling is a process in which my clients have the space and feel empowered to explore their life experiences safely.

I focus on helping my clients understand and heal attachment issues, processing of trauma, resolving parenting difficulties, and work/life conflicts. My goal is to give my clients a place to feel safe to discuss the stresses and troubles they may be experiencing. Although I counsel people of all ages, I particularly enjoy seeing children under the age of 18. I also like to provide support for parents and help the family achieve regulation by improving understanding and communication between family members.

I offer compassion, empathy, and guidance to support you through various transitions in your life. I feel that individuals are not always defined by their circumstances and notice that when we set an intention it allows for personal growth. My hope is to assist you in gaining a greater understanding of your natural strengths and abilities in order to create change. Therapy can help you gain self-awareness, build self-compassion and set goals that will lead to decreased stress and improve overall happiness.

Life throws you all types of curveballs. Things will happen in life that you just can’t avoid. My goal is to help you find solutions to these issues. Together we will find your strengths, resources and coping abilities that will help you reach your future goals. You will find that positive change is always possible and you don’t have to feel stuck in the past.

I have no ideal client. The best part of this job is getting to know such a wide range of people with so many types of issues. I have 30 years experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families in community as well as out-patient and in-patient settings . Geographically, I've worked with families and trained workers in Seattle, New York, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. I've done in-home work in the Bronx, and helped develop policy all over the country. I am now in private practice and address issues that can affect us all, such as, anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD and most mental health issues.

I don't know about you, but the last couple of years have been extremely challenging in all walks of life. I understand it takes courage to pursue a therapeutic relationship while navigating through life obstacles. I value my connection with my Clients and honored to be part of their personal journey. My Clinical background includes working with Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Depression, Self Love/Self Esteem, Highly Capable/ASD, OCD, and ADHD.

I work with individuals, couples, and families. My primary objective is to facilitate and support the next level of growth and development for individuals and families that I work with. This means something different for everyone, so I focus on building a therapeutic relationship that lends to the understanding and accomplishing of identified goals. There are a number of things that contribute to diminished mental wellness and I am here to help you find out what that is for you and to support you on taking action.

I enjoy working with couples, families and individuals. As a therapist, I look to identify your strengths and utilize those to find solutions to the specific problems you are experiencing. Some of the ways we will accomplish this are by looking at the various ways that thoughts and emotions may be driving your behaviors. I also like to explore the context of your life and situations that may be contributing to the problem in ways you may not have recognized. We'll use the insights, information, and strengths to help you transition more into your solutions.

Hi. I’m Kristy. I am a clinical social worker who provides individual therapy services for young and slightly more mature adults. This is my 20th year working in the social service and mental health field. My practice is 100% telehealth and has always been – even in “the before times.” I have worked in a variety of settings, including both long and short term inpatient psychiatric settings, community-based non-profits, community health outreach, overnight and teen shelters, state social services, primary care clinics, hospital management and of course, private practice.

As an African-American male providing therapy since 2007, I bring a multicultural perspective that has enabled me to work effectively with a wide range of clients. I'm a licensed mental health therapist who mainly works from a Cognitive Behavioral and Humanistic Therapeutic approach to help address many issues in counseling. My belief is that people and families experience different problems and need help to navigate through them by addressing their thoughts, feelings, behaviors and relationships with others. Washington State Approved LICENSED CLINICAL SUPERVISOR.

Everyone deserves to feel supported in their mental health journey and not everyone experiences mental health issues the same way. I would love to support you in the awareness and understanding of your own mental health needs, unique triggers, natural supports, and coping mechanisms. Counseling should be a collaborative effort between the therapist and the client, working towards developing client autonomy and confidence to manage symptoms independently. Through avenues of psychoeducation, talk-therapy, skills development, and behavioral modifications, you can do this!

I'm very experienced working with minority communities including working with women, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ clients. Minority groups, and couples, particularly those at the intersections of gender, race, and sexual orientation, are often underrepresented in fields of work such as business, tech, and entrepreneurship. I believe therapy should be a safe and non-judgmental space that empowers individuals to be able to push their own limits and views of themselves, in all aspects of their personal and professional lives. Being able to embrace oneself and each other is one of the strongest things a person can learn to do.

Life is hard; no one said it would be easy. Nothing that has value comes easily. It seems the things that can bring us lasting joy are the things we have to work to achieve. We are all unique in history. Where we come from, which family, which culture, impacted who we are and who we will or have become. Yet, all of us are the same in that we need human interaction. We come into this world seeking others, touch, interaction. We are neither meant to be or have to be completely alone. *(I am an approved WA State Supervisor and am currently taking on LMHCA supervisees).

I have had the privilege of working within the Marriage and Family Therapy field for the past 17 years. I primarily work with couples and adults, but have extensive background in working children, teens, and families. I have experience in helping families and individuals with a variety of concerns, including relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, ADHD, parenting skills, discipline techniques, attachment, school-related concerns, anger management and other disruptive behavioral issues.
