Therapists in Washington

Welcome! I am a mental health counselor licensed in Washington State. I've worked with adult clients for over 10 years, in private practice and other clinical settings (agencies, medical clinics). I often work with client concerns of anxiety, life transitions, relationships, and grief and loss. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy: the idea that our feelings and actions are driven by our thoughts. When we become overwhelmed, we can lose sight of our own sense of self; therapy is an opportunity to gain perspective about you and your world. Our work together will be about identifying your struggles, strengths, and goals; then applying solutions that are useful and practical to you. You already possess a wisdom about yourself that will make itself known in our sessions. I encourage you to be curious; it’s the most immediate path to success!

I am a Geriatric Counselor and I have pioneered a talk therapy approach to Dementia Treatment I call the DreamRem Method. It is a method that focuses on conducting a structured life review in order to chronical and celebrate the life of the Dementia patient. Self-esteem often suffers in those that develop Dementia and the Dream Rem Method helps to bolster the self -esteem to the persons suffering with Dementia. The DreamRem Methiod is most effective for those in the beginning to middle stages of Dementia. I work as well with seniors who are dealing with adjustment issues related to the changes around retirement. I deal with the grief from a loss of a spouse or family member. I have worked with a senior population since 1990.

I am a licensed mental health counselor in Washington State, with over eight years of experience in the field. I utilize a non-judgmental, compassionate, strength-based, eclectic approach through the use of narrative, person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, motivational interviewing, and more. I tailor my work to each individual’s own needs. In therapy, we will work collaboratively towards your goals. Whether or not that involves working on relieving your distress, resolving problematic behaviors, gaining insight, developing coping techniques to help you handle difficult situations, and more. My purpose in our therapeutic relationship is to give you a safe space to explore your thoughts, feelings, concerns, empower you, and help inspire change. I recognize that my availability for live sessions is limited to very early mornings M-F but I promise that I am a very responsive to messages throughout the day. I have also started working every other Saturday and will try to have a few open slots for individuals that cannot do sessions super early in the morning during the weekday! I look forward to meeting you soon.

I am licensed in the state of Ohio to independently practice counseling, and I have training in three different evidence based therapies; EMDR, CBT, and DBT. I have a lengthy history of working with survivors of trauma, and I am able to help clients manage symptoms of anxiety, challenge and test the accuracy of thoughts that maybe causing problems; and help with managing emotions and improving communication. Throughout the course of my counseling sessions, I challenge clients to identify their professional and personal supporters and to not engage in unsafe behaviors. I encourage the clients I work with to learn skills to “fill their toolboxes” with skills so that they can improve their ability to independently manage symptoms and the overcome obstacles they face in life. It is hard work to make changes in your life through counseling and I will challenge you to reach your potential. I will also help you to celebrate your successes when they occur. And they will occur. I look forward to working with you.
