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!

I'm a licensed therapist in Washington state with more than 30 years of professional experience. I specialize in supporting individuals who are navigating complex life transitions. I offer a client centered, compassionate and affirming therapeutic approach across diverse backgrounds. If we work together, we'll be exploring the here and now, including with what's happening under the hood. We'll be exploring your attitudes, feelings, fears, desires, memories and defenses, some of which may have worked when you were very young but are no longer working as well now. I have extensive experience in relationship and intimacy issues, navigating the grief process, midlife transitions, focus and memory issues, ethnic minority issues, sexual/gender-related issues (GLBTQ+) and the existential storms accruing to the moment. Fundamentally, I’m a gestalt therapist with a smattering of Milton Erickson (hypnosis), Bruce Lee ("Be as water"), family systems, post-Jungian thought and a lot other things, including an abiding interest in what is called the contact boundary, which is the place where you and I may meet. My objective is to offer a safe space where clients can GROW while exploring their AUTHENTIC selves . That means working through stuck places, conflicts and challenging emotions. It's a process, however, not a head trip or a destination point. You're not a widget. You're not a product. You're not a version. Therapy with me isn't like going to a Chinese restaurant where clients are encouraged to order-up the best version of themselves from a menu. My approach, in contrast, will encourage you to identify the unfinished business from the past that is seeking closure in the present (standard operating procedure for a Gestalt therapist) while acknowledging all the various versions of yourself. That doesn't mean you have to like them all but trying to corral/control them through an act of ego and volition is, IMO, neither an optimal nor a sustainable solution.
