I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Washington with over 20 years of experience. I have an expertise in crisis intervention and Trauma Informed Care. I am an ally to the LGBTQ+ community. I have experience in working with counseling needs of depression, anxiety, adjustment disorder, life changes, bipolar disorder, relational conflict, and trauma. My counseling approach is client centered, unbiased, and rooted in active listening with the goal of partnering with you in creating a realistic plan in looking at changes that may benefit you in improving your life circumstances. Empowerment starts with the courage to acknowledge you need support. My approach is to understand what your current or past life barriers and struggles are and to help you in moving towards healthier relationships and behaviors.
