As a seasoned counselor in Washington with four decades of professional experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through life's complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges such as depression, stress, anxiety, and relationship dynamics. I I encourage people to thrive in communication issues, social anxiety, and the unique transitions faced by young adults and older individuals.
My approach is particularly attuned to men's experiences, family dynamics, and the nuanced challenges of blended families and aging. Drawing from a Christian perspective, I offer compassionate guidance for those seeking faith-informed support. I honor your preference for other faith or no faith experiences. I am committed to creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore forgiveness, heal family-of-origin wounds, and develop meaningful coping strategies.
I strive to empower clients to build resilience, improve communication, and find hope through life's most challenging moments.
