With a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor of Science in Human Service with a Concentration in Addiction, I bring a comprehensive understanding of psychological theories, therapeutic techniques, and the ability to assess and treat mental health issues. I am adept at using various counseling methodologies, crisis intervention strategies, and ethical practices. My 25 years of service in the U.S. Army, coupled with 12 years of living and working in Olympia, have given me a deep understanding of military culture and the local community. This understanding allows me to connect meaningfully.
My passion is a person-centered therapy approach, where the client is the true expert in their own life. As a clinician, I strive to create a safe, empathetic environment where clients feel empowered to explore their experiences. The therapeutic journey begins with meeting the client where they are, guiding them towards growth.
One of the hardest things to do is be honest with oneself. Suppose you have behaviors or thoughts that don't make sense to who you are, and if they were true, what does that say about you? I want to help you with their feelings and thoughts. As we learn, we are not alone, and what we are experiencing makes sense.
