About My Clients
While most of us would prefer to be happy and pain-free all the time, unpleasant emotions, such as sadness, anxiety, stress, anger, & guilt are all part of the human experience. Sometimes we get “hooked” on these thoughts or emotions & they prevent us from living our lives to the fullest. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy can change our relationship with unpleasant thoughts & emotions so they have less of an impact on our daily lives & do not prevent us from doing the things that matter most.
My Background and Approach
Imagine how your life would be different if unpleasant thoughts, sensations, or emotions were no longer a struggle & instead were simply background noise. Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a very active approach that will provide techniques you can use every day to live a rich, full, meaningful life, even when there are challenges. I provide telehealth services to adults in the state of Washington. I have an M.A. in Professional Counseling from Texas State University and am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). My theoretical orientation includes ACT, narrative, solution-focused brief therapy. I have substantial experience with anxiety, depression, life transitions, stress, self-esteem, self-harm, and have a special interest in chronic pain & medical issues.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I view myself as a partner who will work with you on your goals. I value diversity & welcome clients of all cultures, beliefs, abilities, gender identities, & relational orientations. I have a special interest in chronic pain & medical conditions.
