Hello and Welcome! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington state with over 18 years of clinical experience. I value compassion, empathy, and humor and enjoy partnering with my clients to help them meet their needs and work towards the goals that are important to them. I've worked with clients who have a wide range of concerns, but my specialties are in the areas of trauma, depression and anxiety, and severe mental illness.
I utilize a number of techniques from several different therapeutic approaches including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Cognitive Behavioral Therapies- including DBT and ACT, Self-Compassion, Mindfulness exercises, Somatic approaches, and Attachment theories, among others. I find the most value I can offer in a counseling relationship is in helping my clients know that there is someone and some place where their stories are honored, their needs are met, and change is possible.
Additional areas of focus: Addictions, LGBT, Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Eating disorders, Sleeping disorders, Parenting issues, Anger management, Career difficulties, Coping with life changes, Coaching, Compassion fatigue, ADHD
