Overview

Having never been motivated by money in most of my life’s endeavors, helping people with mental illness, perhaps obscured when I was younger, was an incontrovertible calling.  Truth be told, I was an unemployed graphic designer-drummer when I started this career in 2004—driving a food donation truck for Community House Mental Health Agency on Fridays, for $9.25 an hour.  And drumming, unpaid of course, in an indie-pop rock band typical of Seattle. Doing this work became the impetus to a Master’s degree in Social Work from University of Washington.
My bedside manner is direct, at times brutally honest, and it should can be said that my show can be rated ‘R’ at times.  I profess that a successful therapeutic relationship requires 100% effort from a client as well as the therapist. Under my care, success comes only for those who truly desire change and are ready to do the work. I respectfully decline to work with those sent to therapy by others such as a parent, a spouse, or a judge.
