I hold a Master of Arts in Psychology with a concentration on Military Psychology. I also hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Services with a concentration in children and family services. I am a Substance Use Disorder Professional with the Washington State Dept. of Health, SUDP# 61279119.
I take a person centered therapeutic approach using elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Structural Family Therapy and Strategic Family Therapy. I utilize a holistic approach using evidence based interventions and strategies based on an individual\'s needs, strengths, and readiness to change. My approach is aimed with the belief that any individual can maximize strengths, reach their potential, find viable solutions, and live a meaningful, fulfilling life.
