I have spent 15 years helping people move from what I call "Surviving to Thriving". I can help you, your relationship, or your family move there also.

We are a group of dynamic therapists, in multiple Washington state locations. Our goal was to create a place for you to settle in and tell your story. Everybody has one, and we want to hear yours. Counseling is a process that encourages you to examine your choices, your thoughts, your dreams, your barriers and your pain in an effort to create the positive change you are seeking in your life. We believe that successful counseling is a collaborative experience between you and your therapist; that finding the right fit is vital to that success.

We are accepting new clients. I specialize in helping individuals and families reach and stay in recovery from anxiety and other mood disorders, substance misuse, trauma, relationship conflicts and issues surrounding grief and loss.

Good therapy recognizes that we are greater than the problem believing people grow, heal, and transform.

So to that end I will work with you in a collaborative way in a human to human connection to provide the foundation for change. I take a holistic approach viewing the body, mind, and spirit as interrelated.
