About me
Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in private practice. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families, helping them create better futures for themselves. I work with clients from age 6 years and up, dealing with issues like anxiety, depression, and stress, among many other concerns. I would be happy to meet you.
I have been in professional practice since December 2013, and in private practice since October 2016. I have been in Washington state this second time around since 2006. I enjoy working with clients and seeing them reach their goals for growth and personal change. Our time spent together is geared toward working on your issues and addressing your concerns. You will be supported in this process with unconditional positive regard, and treated with respect. Complete acceptance from a counseling provider is necessary in order for healing to take place in a person's life, starting with where the client is in that moment, and finding a path forward.
My website provides a wealth of information that I invite you to explore that offers more detail about my practice work and who I am professionally. If you have questions or would like to begin services, please feel free to contact me. I would be honored to meet you.
