The issues I work with in therapy are mind-body issues. I do not have a mental illness approach. What is good for the body is good for the brain and vice versa. My openness and inclusivity influence my approach to therapy. I do not judge. I accept. I am more interested in your uniqueness than your diagnosis and I expect a full recovery in treatment. I specialize in the spectrum of Depression and Mood Disorders, Anxiety treatments, and Trauma. I offer natural and behavioral treatments that have been shown through research to perform as well as, better than, and/or improve anti-depressants. Research has shown that the fit between counselor and client is one of the most significant contributors to a person's success in therapy. I cant guarantee that I will be the best fit. I can say that I am not afraid to go wherever counseling takes us. Please reach out and we will work together to raise the quality of life

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with a Masters degree in Counseling Psychology from Amberton University and a Bachelors of Science degree in Communication with a minor in Sociology from the University of Arizona in Tucson. I enjoy working with individuals and families and have experience working with issues of anxiety, depression, substance abuse, trauma, emptiness, relationships, life transitions and others. I began my counseling career 14 years ago as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Dallas Texas where I was a therapist and family counselor at Solutions Outpatient Services. After 3 years at SOS, I took a position at Enterhealth treatment facility in Van Alstyne, Texas as one of their first primary therapists. I left Enterhealth a year later to open a private practice In Dallas. In 2010 my wife and I moved to the majestic Pacific Northwest. Currently I live in Kirkland, WA and have an 8 year old son and a pug. My approach is person centered and eclectic. I integrate and blend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, Family Systems Theory and other philosophies and techniques. Please know that I have the greatest respect for your courage. Feelings can be overwhelming and disorienting. Intense emotions can be frightening and painful. Depression robs us of the moments in life that are truly worth savoring. It is my firm belief that all emotions have value and utility, containing large veins of information if we take the time to drill down a bit. The more we can embrace and utilize the full spectrum of our experience, from joy to pain, the greater our capacity for self actualization becomes. It is my hope that we can collaborate on a journey of discovery; one that fosters awareness, clarity, acceptance, and change.

For over 30 years, I worked as a licensed (LICSW) mental health therapist, mental health manager and founder/director of a non-profit health/mental health organization. I’m a psychodynamically-oriented therapist, meaning I believe we exist on many different levels (physically, intellectually, emotionally, sexually, spiritually, etc.). I'm interested how all those levels interact with one another and in how we frequently sabotage ourselves, albeit unconsciously, without meaning to. That form of therapy is not appropriate for all clients, however. Specifically, it is not for clients who are struggling with intense and overwhelming emotions, self-harm and suicidal ideation, psychosis, borderline personality disorder (BPD), deep-seated addiction disorders and various other issues. Those clients need a very different approach that will likely involve worksheets and tutorials designed to help them acquire the skills to regulate their emotions and achieve their stated goals in the fastest possible way. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) are two of the more popular and effective exponents of that other approach. That's not my preferred approach, however, noting that each therapist has clients they work well with and others who are not a good fit. I'm experienced in individual and couples therapy; GLBTQ issues; relationship issues; health challenges and end of life issues; grief and loss issues; intimacy issues; abuse, trauma and gaslighting. In a very general sense, we will be exploring your sense of wholeness and authenticity; in how you can attain more integration between the various parts of yourself; in how you can increase your capacity for intimacy, spontaneity and creativity; and in how to better handle the corrosive effect of unfinished business from the past that keeps trying to find closure in the present. I'm also interested in human sexuality in general, including the effects of shame, guilt and repression. For some reason, it may be a good time to say that I myself am spiritual but not religious. Last but not least, I'm interested in how well you are navigating the existential crisis through which we are presently passing, the metaphoric but long-anticipated storm that will affect all of us and that seems to have finally arrived. If this resonates with you, I'll look forward to meeting you in session. If it doesn't, I wish you the very best of luck with a different kind of therapist. You'll need a new match, however, which you can obtain very easily by going to your therapist tab where a drop-down menu should appear giving you that option.
