I have been a Licensed practicing therapist for 7 years. My approach is to treat the whole person. I am also a Holistic Nutritionist, Hypnotherapist and Life Coach. I believe the most successful treatment can be attributed to two important factors. The first is understanding how the mind, body and spirit connects; as the mind and body are not separate and to treat the mind the body must also be treated and vice versa. The second is in understanding and healing the roots of the past. I specialize in Trauma Therapy and am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprogramming (EMDR) and believe the root of most issues lies in the past. Understanding how past beliefs affects your present circumstances and through understanding and identifying your values and beliefs is the second important element of healing. I work with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety disorders, panic, personality disorders, mood disorders, trauma including PTSD, and list of other issues and challenges. I enjoy counseling and educating my clients. My approach is eclectic and integrative style of psychotherapy. I adapt my sessions to the unique needs of each specific client, depending on the problem, the client's expectations, treatment goals and motivation. Some of the common forms of therapeutic techniques I use includes: Cognitive Behavioral Techniques, Dialectical Behavioral Techniques, Solution Focused Techniques and EMDR and Exposure therapy. I understand that no two people are alike and each client needs to be dealt with individually. I believe every person is a miracle and every person has an unlimited potential. I feel it is important to help each person understand their worth. Every person is important and deserves to be treated with respect and dignity. I believe it often takes courage to get help and if you are ready to take that step, I am looking forward to working with you.

I have been a counselor for 30 years with experience in treating clients from 18 months to 98 years. As a professor and supervisor I utilize a variety of modalities and believe that each client is special and unique. One approach does not fit all. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, first responders, professionals, dealing with illness and care giver fatigue, chronic pain, trasuma, abuse and addiction. I have worked with children that have faced difficult health challenges that have not only affected them but their family as well. In addition I have worked with adolescents in the juvenile justice system, learning disabilities, suicidality, LGBTQI issues, trauma and abuse. It is important to establish an atmosphere of trust and safety where adolescents can express themselves and feel heard and accepted. When working with couples it is important to establish an atmosphere that is safe to explore the family issues. I work with couples that have chronic medical issues that have caused stress and communication problems. It is important to address the caregiver fatigue aspect in chronic medical issues. In addition, is important to identify and strengths that each brings to the relationship and how to communicate effectively. Communication is a key element in being able to set goals and move forward in their relationship. I have worked with LGBTQI clients in their process of coming out to their family and community. Therapy is a gift that you give yourself. I look forward to working with you to work towards the change you desire

Creating a safe space where clients can feel comfortable is the top priority for me in my practice. It can feel overwhelming to share your challenges and struggles with someone you've just met. When we start working together, we will begin by building a comfortable therapeutic relationship. For some people, that may only take a session or two, and for others we will take a little more time to get there. We will go at a pace that feels comfortable for you. As we get to know each other, we will also work together to begin to stretch your comfort zone little by little, in order to help you make progress toward your goals. I graduated from Eastern Washington University in 2008 with Master's Degree in Social Work. I immediately went into advocacy work supporting survivors of domestic violence and sexual trauma in a variety of settings. I have worked as an advocate helping survivors navigate the court system, in shelters, and worked in supervisory and senior leadership positions to develop survivor support programs in DV/SV advocacy agencies. In 2018, I took my advocacy skills and applied them to the mental health field. Now, as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with individuals with a history of trauma, anxiety, and depression. I work primarily with adults, using a psychodynamic approach. Basically, this means that we will have conversations and dive a little deeper into the patterns that come up to help you better understand yourself. I also use techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma informed care, motivational interviewing, and dialectical behavioral therapy. Each person is unique, and I have found that drawing from various techniques makes for an individualized experience that is tailored to your specific needs.
