About Me

I am a licensed mental health counselor in Washington State with over 7 years of experience working as therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including combat trauma, military sexual trauma, childhood abuse and childhood sexual abuse issues, rape victims, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career challenges, sleep issues, grief, TBI, OCD, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and solution-focused therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage and strength to seek help for a more fulfilling life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!
