Life can become so overwhelming at times.During these times sometimes we need assistance in navigating. I work with children, adolescents, families, individuals and couples. When we are facing life struggles I believe in having a safe environment for you to share your concerns. We can create a plan together to assist you with feeling more in control of your life. Using a person centered approach that is focused on your individual needs.

I'm a solution-focused, results-oriented counselor with a passion for helping people in the most efficient yet comprehensive manner possible. My clients and I identify opportunities for growth in all three aspects of mental health: behaviors, thoughts and emotions. I then suggest evidence-based treatment methods to match our specified goals. This often includes lifestyle change, healthy habit formation and cognitive therapy. Most often, I work with clients' present-day experiences, with less focus on the past. Many of my clients tell me that traditional talk therapy has not worked for them, and they want to try something different.

I have a Master's degree from Pacific Lutheran University in Marriage and Family Therapy, and have been in practice for over 25 years. I am a Washington State designated as a Child Mental Health Specialist and a Registered Circle of Security Parent Educator. Over my years in practice, I have worked with families, couples, adolescents, and individuals. The goal of therapy is to help you understand yourself and others within a relationship. My goal is to help you see your behavior patterns at a processing level, so you may disrupt these patterns for new, healthy behaviors. For example, ending chronic people-pleasing habits.

I work with anyone who is feeling stuck in their life- helping them be seen, heard, and understood, as we approach problems with curiosity and empathy. While we can't control what happens to us, we can control how we respond- and therapy is the best way to get all the tools you need to respond to life's ups and downs. If you're motivated and engaged in the process, therapy can give you the set of tools you need to improve (or completely change) your life. I support clients in their goals, applying psycho-education, in-depth therapeutic training, 10+ years of experience, and (always optional) out of session homework.
