Overview

I am Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Washington with over 25 years of experience in the psychotherapy field and as a life coach. I have successfully helped clients navigate such issues as trauma, stress, anxiety, grief and loss (to include the loss of a pet), weight loss surgery support and management.

I appreciate that every client is unique. To that end, I approach each of you with warmth, caring, and support. I have used many evidenced-based techniques over the years such as Positive Psychology, Trauma Informed CBT, Solution Focused Therapy, ACT and more to assist you to reach your desired goals.

I pride myself on meeting clients "where they are at" by initially providing much needed support and relief. Following is one of my favorite quote's - "One CAN walk over the highest mountain one step at a time." I assist you in defining your "goal" and taking your "first small step."
