Therapist Profile

My Approach to Helping

Welcome...Congratulations on your courage to look within and give yourself the gift of therapy. I am a licensed Mental Heath therapist with over 20 years of experience. My professional expertise includes work with adolescents, adults and couples who are experiencing trauma, grief/loss, depression, anxiety, relationship issues and life transitions. I believe the source of therapeutic outcomes lie within the individual. I facilitate my client's journey to self-discovery, enhancing thier sense of well-being and assisting them in creating a healthier, meaningful and more balanced life. I use a person-centered approach and realize your strengths and potential in addition to the problems that have led you to therapy. I work from the perspective that the key to healing is to increase awareness of thoughts, beliefs, feelings, patterns of behavior, relationships and the choices we make. Therapy is a place that can be supportive as well as generative, it can move you towards balance, wellness and life satisfaction. Therapy is a collaborative process that is based on respectful, trusting relationships between you and your therapist. It is important to find the "right fit". Taking the first step towards help is often the most difficult. I offer a complimentary phone consultation for potential clients. If you would like more information about my practice or if you would like to schedule an appointment, I encourage you to call 206.794.6206 or e-mail me.
