About My Clients
When seeking a therapist you want someone who'll be able to recognize who you are and what you're needing. No one wants to waste their time or have the setback of meeting with someone and leaving the experience more discouraged than before you came in. You're looking for someone to see you clearly and support you with whatever you're struggling with, wherever you're stuck, however much (or little) pain or confusion you're in - whether you're single, married, struggling as a step-parent, dealing
My Background and Approach
I’ve been working as a therapist since 2006. I received my master’s degree in applied behavioral science with a focus on systems counseling from The Leadership Institute of Seattle at Bastyr University. I hold a bachelor’s degree in electronic communication arts from San Francisco State University. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in WA and a Licensed Professional Counselor in OR. I come from a blended family, with full, half and stepsiblings. I have lost a parent and come through a challenging divorce stronger and more able to connect to others with similar challenges. I am empathic to the complex emotions and binds of being a sensitive person in relationships with friends, colleagues and family members who don’t always value those traits. As Hemingway said, "The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places.”
