"My practice is exclusively an online practice as a life consultant. This allows you as a client to schedule as needed sessions while saving you time and freeing you from the aggravation of driving and parking. It allows you the ability to maintain contact while traveling. It offers confidentiality in terms of not being observed engaging a mental health practitioner. Sessions are held on Skype or FaceTime. My approach to therapy is proactive utilizing an integrative modality. The therapy environment is warm, caring, supportive, and solution focused.."

"I have daytime, evening, and weekend availability, in person, or Telehealth, and work with couples, adults, and teens. My passion is helping my clients find unity and wholeness in their lives. I believe the best way to facilitate this journey is by prioritizing collaboration and client attunement. Simply put, my clients bring their life expertise, I bring my educational expertise, we both bring our human experience, and together we co-create the connection that is the foundation for healing in the therapeutic relationship. I am proud to say that I have made it my life's work to be a therapist. "

"What is goal of life? It it is happiness and victory. What is the goal of the counseling? It's the same- happiness and victory. We became happy when we are able to develop true, authentic life, a self undefeated by our circumstances. When we expand our life and reach the goal, we feel a sense of accomplishment and pride. In turn this spurs a stronger determination and commitment to continue to make progress and deepen our personal mission in life. I believe the purpose of counseling is to support and encourage this lifelong journey. Since the goal of life is happiness, I feel the foundation for that happiness is counseling."

"I specialize in working with individuals who have been scarred by trauma or grief. The worst pain is often inflicted by those we are vulnerable with, whether that has been family members, spiritual communities, or friends we have opened up to. I work with clients to safely grieve how they have been harmed, empower them with skills to change their internal and external world, and discover together ways to engage in life that leads to wholeness. My ideal client is someone who wants things to change and is willing to try something new."

"It's not easy asking for help. If you feel alone, sad, lost, fearful, or depressed, there is always a way through, though the path forward is not always obvious. The most important element of therapy is establishing a strong therapeutic relationship that is based in trust. I genuinely care about my clients and strive to help individuals to feel safe, cared for, and understood. I listen carefully to presenting symptoms, but I also look at the greater context in order to elucidate core underlying issues. A more fulfilling life is always possible."

"Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsatisfied with some aspect of your life? This can often lead to challenges connecting with ourselves, connecting with others, and ultimately thwarting our ability to live the life we desire. While emotions are something we all experience and are impacted by on a daily basis, emotional awareness and understanding doesn't always come easily. If you are living with the effects of trauma/PTSD (any form), depression, anxiety, strained relationships, body-image issues, or any sense of misalignment within your life, I can help you work through these obstacles and nourish your sense of self. "

"Life stressors and challenges affect people of all ages, including children, adolescents and adults. While some may prefer to face them alone, receiving support from an outside perspective is at times the biggest gift you can give yourself and the people you love the most. Together, we can explore ways to ease the challenges and promote a healthy relationship that you can have with yourself and others. Children also face many challenges that we as adults might not fully understand or know how to manage; together we can work on supporting their struggles and develop resiliency. "

"Offices in Bellevue, Edmonds, & Green Lake."

"My passion is helping clients rediscover their true potentials and bring joy back into their lives. I follow a strengths-based model of practice while utilizing a combination of psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral techniques. Essentially, I believe in a holistic approach, in that all of our experiences (physical, emotional, spiritual, and social) are integral in our unique compositions. Our early experiences often show up in our current lives, and can manifest themselves in a myriad of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I value the interaction with my clients and believe in empowering clients by direct participation in the therapeutic process."

" Life is very uncertain right now and as a counselor with over 20 years of experience in a variety of clinical, educational and community settings, my focus is to offer you hope and peace. My treatment focus includes mental wellness, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, trauma, women's issues and vocational counseling. "

"Therapy is a safe place to grieve what hurts and build hope for a life of thriving, not merely surviving. Together, we'll find ways to calm body and mind, connect with yourself and others, and move forward with intention. Our work together will be a safe place to be who you are. Healing, freedom, and wholeness are possible, and I would love to be a part of your journey."

"What is your biggest challenge that, if overcome, would completely change your life? If it was simply a matter of knowing the answer to this question, everyone would be living exactly the life they desired. In reality, "knowing" is only half of the journey. Working together, we will co-create a partnership to explore your opportunities and challenges, making space in your life for the future that you desire. I believe that everyone can and should be living the life of their dreams, because, after all, this is not a dress rehearsal!"
