I believe that everyone deserves to live a fulfilling life. My passion in therapy is to partner with my clients to create a trusting relationship that can foster healing, personal growth, and positive life change. I approach therapy from a relational model allowing the counseling relationship to be a healing vessel for the therapeutic process.
With empathy, curiosity, intention and rich insight, I’ll partner with you to examine the what and why of challenges holding you back. My desire is to help you develop tangible, lifelong tools needed to navigate and overcome obstacles in order to reach your full
potential and live the life you envision for yourself.
My goal in counseling is to facilitate a supportive and nurturing process which allows you to grow and heal within a safe relationship while also being challenged in meaningful ways. I believe in creating a healing relationship and taking a collaborative approach in therapy so that together we find a path for your healing. I provide my clients with resources and tools to utilize and practice between each appointment so the therapeutic process extends beyond your individual counseling sessions.
My treatment modality influences and therapeutic approaches include DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Hypnotherapy, Motivational Interviewing, Client Centered Therapy, Positive Psychology, Mindfulness, Insight Oriented Therapy, as well as trauma-informed and somatic/body-based therapies.
I offer individual and relationship counseling to adults and am accepting new clients at this time who reside in Washington State.
All sessions are held virtually through telemedicine (video) and telephone. I use confidential, HIPAA-compliant video software for online sessions. Sessions can easily be accessed through phones, tablets, and computers.
I currently do not accept insurance but I can provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance company who may be able to reimburse you for your counseling sessions. I am happy to discuss this option with you further during a free consultation.
The first step is to contact me and schedule a free consultation to discuss your goals for counseling and any questions that you may have. This is an important first step before deciding to work together.
The consultation gives you a chance to learn about my services and what you can expect from therapy with me. I will also learn about what you are looking for from counseling and determine if I am the best counselor to support your needs.
I am a certified coach and licensed mental health counselor dedicated to guiding people through meaningful growth and transformative change. My intrinsic purpose comes from helping people feel seen and understood, guiding them on their own journey of meaningful growth and transformative change. As a result, I’ve dedicated the past 20 years to fostering growth and change through adult counseling, group therapy, professional coaching, clinical and community education, and program development/management.
Whether it’s through individual counseling, coaching, or organizational training/education, I guide people to overcoming challenges, sparking personal growth and healing so they can live the lives they envision for themselves.
My approach is client-centered, putting you and your needs at the center of our partnership. With curiosity, a holistic perspective and complete acceptance, we’ll work together to understand and dismantle the obstacles holding you back from moving forward.
We’ll develop clarity around how your perception of the past, present and future is shaping your current experience. Most importantly, we’ll develop the tools you need to make progress sustainable and to transcend challenges standing in your way. Through compassionate understanding, open dialogue and experienced insight, our partnership will serve to foster healing, wholeness and growth.
In addition to my professional certifications, I have attended thousands of hours of professional programs and trainings that inform the work that I do. Some of my areas of study include:
I believe everyone deserves to be and feel seen by others and provide a safe, welcoming space for all backgrounds and experiences.
I believe in the power of wisdom to help and heal. I am continually expanding my wealth of knowledge across all areas of wellness to
provide the most holistic, integrated
approach possible.
I believe in compassionate
understanding, serving as your
partner and guide through your personal growth journey.
I was inspired by the meaning behind the word Philos, which means loving in Greek, and is the root of the word philosophy (philos=loving, sophos=wise) meaning love of wisdom. I believe that we all possess wisdom about ourselves that can be revealed with the right guidance and insight.
