Approach & Background
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate in the state of Washington. I received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Nevada Las Vegas. I have a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Bastyr University. I have worked in Community Mental Health in both voluntary and involuntary treatment centers around the region.
I have worked with adults who have been diagnosed with acute, severe, and mild mental health and substance abuse concerns. My experience includes one-to-one psychotherapy, group therapy, clinical assessments, de-escalation, and general support for adults with developmental disabilities, immigrants, refugees, LGBTQIA, older adults, adults exploring their gender identity, adults with depression and anxiety, and justice involved individuals. I am also a musician.
Online Counseling / telehealth
Teletherapy or online counseling is simply having a session with your counselor over the phone or video. You receive the same type of service in teletherapy or online counseling as you would in person. To schedule an online appointment, click here.
in-person counseling
Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, I am not offering in-person counseling, however I am available for online/telehealth appointments at several convenient times.
Focus Areas
I use an eclectic, Person-Centered approach when counseling based on your needs and concerns. As a result, these techniques may include Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance & Commitment, Existential, Rational Emotive, and Solution-Focused therapies. Together, we will explore thoughts, feelings, and breathing techniques. I work with adults ages 18 and up.
Counseling concerns that I work with include depression, anxiety, trauma, gender, disabilities, chronic illness, aging, multicultural, injustice, life transitions, and identity issues.
