"I believe everyone has a right to live a calm, happy and fulfilled life. For some, that is easier said than done. For those who are having a more challenging time finding the life they want, counseling may be the right choice to help guide those who are ready for change. I work with teens, adults, couples and families who are struggling with life's challenges. I offer researched based systems, therapies and support for the individual, as well as resources for the entire family, to help bring function and joy to their lives."

"My goal as a therapist is to assist you in finding practical solutions to your life problems, and to help you take positive steps to experience a more fulfilling life. You will come away from our time together with useful tools which will empower you to enjoy your life and your relationships to the fullest degree."

"Angry? Scared? Worried? Confused and or ashamed? I work with people who have lost HOPE and people in unusually difficult circumstances. Hope empowers people to CHANGE. I also understand that change involves risk, so I respect that some changes are not easy. By exploring and sometimes adjusting the underlying beliefs, values, and emotions that drive your reactions and behaviors, I think you'll be able to achieve your best changes. You can find hope. You can LIVE again."

"There are times in our lives when we feel stuck. We struggle with transition, grief, and loss. We may find it difficult to relate to others or even ourselves. My approach to therapy with adolescents, men, women, couples, and families is client-centered and collaborative. My role is to help you solve your problems in positive and fulfilling ways. I provide a safe and compassionate place where you can find balance, connection and growth. Because my experience involves working with children, teens, adults and families, I hold a broad scope and view you as a whole person."

"As a therapist, I seek to build resiliency working collaboratively towards the empowerment of my clients. My philosophy is client centered, supportive and nonjudgmental. I case conceptualize from a psychodynamic perspective, which means that I believe early childhood history and caregiver relationships influence who we are as adults. However, I believe that development is a life long journey and the narrative of life stories can be expanded therapeutically through restorative retelling to become your preferred self. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with an integrative approach, adapting treatment according to the unique needs of my client."

"At some point we face problems in our lives. My approach in therapy is personalized to help you meet your specific needs and goals. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and have been credentialed as a Mental Health Professional and Child Mental Health Specialist in the State of Washington. I offer individual counseling services to children, teens, adults, as well as families. Together we can collaborate to make steps towards meaningful changes in your life. I have experience working in a variety in settings including community mental health, in home, crisis support services, and private practice."

"Symptoms of emotional distress, don't just come out of nowhere. As we go through life, our bodies alert us about whether to go towards something that seems safe or away from something that seems dangerous. Over time, we can learn to be afraid of, or numb to body sensations. By practicing mindfulness together, I can help you learn to deal with activating sensations in your body and tap into flows of information leading to profound insights about yourself and your life."

"Are you in need of a change in your life? Are you struggling in your current relationships at home or at work? Do you feel like you don't know what to do? Taking the first step towards change and growth can be hard. Talking to someone can be very powerful. You already have the capacity to be happy and productive. I can help you to make the changes needed to have a healthy, strong, and poductive life."

"No matter what a person is put through in life, the power to transform is infinite."

"I help individuals and couples create and sustain the positive changes they seek in their lives. I provide a supportive environment for clients to practice skills designed to enhance personal, relational, and professional satisfaction. I help people who are hurting after the loss of loved ones and difficult changes in their life. For example, death of a spouse, divorce, parenting challenges, and workplace stress. Additionally, I am familiar with the challenges of military families, deployment, and first responders. The unique cultural challenges of these groups and how therapy can help normalize and reduce mental distress for families and individuals."

"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."

"It's my belief there is no right way to be or live. I work with clients on discovering their worthiness. I work best with clients interested in understanding why certain patterns have emerged in their lives. Sometimes our thoughts and feelings pile on top of each other. This makes it hard to hear the information that they convey. Together we can sift through these layers until you find an internal sense of peace."

"Making the decision to seek counseling can be an anxious time, but I believe it can be the start to a positive, productive, and deeply satisfying experience. It can give you a chance to address concerns that may be affecting your work, relationships, spiritual beliefs, and your happiness or peace of mind. Therapy may be active and solution-focused, or quiet and reflective; it provides a chance to explore your understanding of yourself and others, and address specific struggles. I recognize that it takes incredible courage to start this process and I will help to make it as empowering as possible."

"Depression, anxiety, conflict, betrayal and relationship issues impact all areas of our lives and can be addressed in a respectful and straight forward manner. I believe that counseling needs to meet you where you are so I am comfortable with using individual, couple or family therapy depending on what is most likely to be effective. I pledge to do my very best to help you and your family reach a new level of health."

"I work with adult men and women of any age who are ready and motivated to change. I especially enjoy working with folks struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, challenges associated with change, grief and loss and those struggling with relationships both at home and in the work place."

"As a psychologist, I seek to provide guidance in identifying strategies and solutions for tapping into your inner strengths and capacity for positive change. I have found that a positive therapeutic relationship serves an important role in accessing the resilience, insight, and courage needed to make important lifestyle changes that allow individuals and families to live happier, healthier, and more balanced lives. I approach the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative process where positive change occurs when we work together to identify strategies that will allow you to adaptively manage and overcome difficult life challenges. I strive to create a safe place by providing unconditional support."
