MHP, LMHC

I use current and up-to-date evidence based practices, and am certified in EMDR, CBT for Insomnia, CBT for Psychosis, grief counseling, EFT, and DBT. I also work with anxiety, depression, relationship, and LGBTQ+ matters.

I have a tendency to keep it real and be my authentic self in a professional manner and utilize humor and strength based approaches in the therapy session. I focus with clients on emotional regulation skills  in the moment and how to process through concerns and struggles in the moment by learning to notice thoughts, emotions, and where and how these can be experienced in the body.  

I hold a Masters degree from Antioch University in Clinical Mental Health Counseling as well as a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Washington focused on community psychology.

I have been in practice for more than nine years, and look forward to helping you with whatever challenge you are facing.

My Approach & Philosophy

I am direct, patient, accepting, able to follow most any communication style. I can help you set up and meet attainable goals, and provide a safe, controlled environment with minimal disruption to your daily life. I believe in helping you engage your mind, body and spirit to help you reach your greatest potential.

My approach depends on what you hope to accomplish, and what therapeutic models fit best to reach those goals. I work with clients to deconstruct negative thought patterns and behaviors and increase healthy thoughts, behaviors and attachments. I believe being authentic with each other and keeping a sense of humor about life and ourselves contribute greatly to therapeutic success.

My goal is to provide you with a safe space to be seen and heard, to help you recognize and navigate through past and current obstacles, and to offer insight and education that will help you live a fuller and more peaceful life.
