About My Clients
I enjoy working with individuals who are seeking change, whether this change is processing trauma, rewriting our negative self talk or learning how we hold our emotions in our bodies. I utilize your own strengths to continue your process of self empowerment. Each one of us have relationships in our lives, and these relationships can be as equally complex as they are rewarding. With an awareness of how we are all connected to each other, and utilizing the Systems Approach.
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (License # LH60881538) in the state of Washington. I received my Masters of Counseling in Psychology from Argosy University in 2014. I received my Bachelors of Science in Psychology from the University of Washington in 2012. Additionally, I am a member of the American Counseling Association. Outside of my private practice, I am also a Contracted Therapist with Working Choices, Inc. WCI receives referrals from Social Workers for families with open cases with the Department of Children, Youth and Families. I provide in- home evidence-based services and assessments for these families. I currently hold certifications in two evidence- based programs; Functional Family Therapy (FFT) and Project SafeCare. In my free time, I enjoy the outdoors hiking, fishing and gardening, along with spending time with my friends and family.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My belief is that each of us have the opportunity to live the life we envision for ourselves. Counseling can be that unique phase in life where you make the decision to focus on yourself. Life molds us into who we are in this moment, however, we each have the opportunity to design who we want to be in the future. Whether you want to make lasting life changes, process past trauma or learn skills to cope with everyday stressors, finding the motivation to get to counseling is all that matters. My theory of practice is client-centered therapy. I believe you are the catalyst for your own healing and growth. This approach allows each client to determine how the session is influenced and to be decisive with the goals they desire to work on. As the counselor, I offer a safe space for each of my clients and I empower you to pursue your personal goals.
