I am a marriage and family therapist with 9 years of experience counseling a wide range of clients. I have worked with clients on grief and loss, depression and anxiety as well as substance abuse concerns. I take a warm approach with clients and use a client centered approach to therapy. I have been trained in cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy and approach the sessions in a collaborative manner always working together with people I am working with. I respect that you took this step to seek out a listening ear and I look forward to working together with you on this journey. I was born in New York and as a young child my family moved out to Los Angeles and I have been here ever since. Growing up I was always fascinated by the field of psychology and when I was going for my Bachelors Degree I therefore choose to major in psychology. I attended Touro College Los Angeles for my Bachelors degree and then pursued my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy through Touro University Worldwide. When working with clients I take a warm and empathetic approach and really try to hear what the client is saying. Therapy can be very rewarding but it is often challenging to talk about the difficulties that we face. In session I strive to create a supportive and safe space where we can work together mindfully and without judgement to increase wellness. Thank you for taking the time to look over my profile. I look forward to working together!

Welcome! I am a mental health counselor licensed in Washington State. I've worked with adult clients for over 10 years, in private practice and other clinical settings (agencies, medical clinics). I often work with client concerns of anxiety, life transitions, relationships, and grief and loss. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy: the idea that our feelings and actions are driven by our thoughts. When we become overwhelmed, we can lose sight of our own sense of self; therapy is an opportunity to gain perspective about you and your world. Our work together will be about identifying your struggles, strengths, and goals; then applying solutions that are useful and practical to you. You already possess a wisdom about yourself that will make itself known in our sessions. I encourage you to be curious; it’s the most immediate path to success!

Welcome! So your path has brought you here to BetterHelp, it's likely you are looking for some assistance in dealing with something in your life or your current situation and hope to find a person that can offer that assistance.

My hope is our work together is that you feel heard, valued, and supported in whatever you are facing. I work to empower individuals towards being authentic whole beings. I use a strengths-based approach to help find the silver lining. Research has shown that physical mental emotional and spiritual well-being all play equally significant roles and our livelihood. Therefore I have made the holistic approach my central modality when it comes to my therapy. My style is purposefully eclectic, to best serve your needs as a client. I believe strongly in a collaborative process in designing counseling experiences. You are the expert on you, the techniques we will use may change depending on your style and needs. Every individual is unique, and no one orientation will serve all.

Midwest trained, and licensed in California & Washington, I have spent 50 years in the field of counseling & supervisory education. Now, in retirement, I offer a limited number of consultations. Still, I want to continue supporting people who are actively engaged in improving their relationships & addressing life changes. My style is interactive with a bit of humor; & I don't believe in stigmatizing labels, nor do I encourage diagnostic ones. (I find them misused & often reductionistic, which is not helpful.) It takes courage to seek joy in life and step forward into change. And if you are wanting to do that, I am very glad to facilitate your efforts. PS I do not keep notes; so what is said is completely confidential. My intake sessions (at just 20-30 minutes) are for the purpose of checking mutual chemistry & our ability to work well together. By letting me know immediately if you might prefer a different therapist, I can help make that happen sooner than later; and session success has a lot to do with ease of communication, so do be picky. Again, I have only limited session time-slots. All are midday, on Tuesdays or Thursdays, & you will need to choose the same hour each week, to avoid booking someone else’s session time. Booking your time, 3 sessions forward will prevent that from happening. [PS: Generally, ‘short term' counseling is roughly 12 sessions, affording time to make good insights & progress.] I invite your questions, going forward. And my best wishes on your personal growth path. I look forward to meeting you!
