Whether this is your first session or 100th, searching for a new therapist can feel overwhelming or daunting. Picking a person you trust to hear your struggles from a picture and a paragraph is no small thing! Here’s a little bit more about me to help guide your decision. PLEASE NOTE: currently all my evening slots are full. I do apologize, these times go fast! My current available hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 pm EST. My background: I am a licensed clinical psychologist with experience working with clients of diverse backgrounds. I earned my doctorate in 2013 from the University of Virginia and have worked in clinic, hospital, university, and military settings. Previously, I saw clients at and directed a clinic for families and children, and I also have more general experience across age groups and areas of concern. I feel comfortable helping you with stress and anxiety, depression and self-esteem, trauma, motivation, parenting issues, relationship concerns, LGBTQ+ issues, Veteran or military issues, and can provide support for medical difficulties of your own or in those you love. I’m excited to step into an online platform and continue to help clients see their strengths. My practice: I aim to create an environment where you feel understood and supported, but also leave with practical tools that you can use immediately. I strive for transparency and collaboration, and want us to work together to find pathways to your goals. My approach is anchored in sound science and best practices, with plenty of wiggle room to adjust to who you are as a person and what works best for you. No matter what, I believe that there is a better, happier version of your life and I’d be privileged to help you find it.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State with my Master's in Mental Health Counseling and Addiction. My focus has been on treating Co-occurring addiction and trauma disorders for the last six years. I work with Veterans and civilians dealing with PTSD. I am an evidence based focused therapist and also use Motivational Interviewing to aid in processing barriers to change. I believe it's important to meet my patients where they are at and to help them reach their goals through compassion, education and providing a non-judgmental environment to explore their past and present experiences. I welcome and encourage family engagement to the extent my patient is comfortable. Therapy is a privilege for me to provide to any patient willing to allow me to join part of their journey. I will provide a safe environment for you to explore, learn and grow in the direction you choose. I am not here to to tell anyone how to live only to reflect and explore the impact your thoughts and emotions have on your life. To be transparent with my patients I do share that when in a video session you will notice that I wear dark glasses to help me with a chronic light sensitivity issues. BetterHelp doesn't allow me to wear these in my photo but it is something I do wear at all time. If you have questions please don't hesitate to ask. I currently live in Japan. Due to the time difference I will have limited options that work for my Washington State clients.

Hi – I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State and a National Certified Counselor. While I have an MS in clinical psychology, I also have a BA in business administration, having managed companies for many years. It took a while but I finally got around to honoring an inner calling to become a therapist, which is a privilege and very rewarding. While I’m experienced in treating a variety of challenges, I specialize in working with anxiety and mood related conditions, grief/loss, and unresolved trauma. I also work with clients experiencing interpersonal conflict, parenting concerns, career related stressors, and stage of life angst. My counseling approach is client-centered and honors a person’s unique nature and needs. Depending on the challenges at hand, this may involve teaching coping skills that help reduce immediate symptoms; insights-based work to discover how our life experiences shape and form us; and developing behaviors that help people transition from suffering to focusing on what they find important and meaningful. Our inner drive for happiness and capacity for growth moves me. You may not feel particularly resilient right now, but do know that reaching out for help demonstrates courage and strength. I look forward to meeting and talking with you. Be assured that I’m personable by nature, engage openly and respectfully, and aim to walk alongside you on your journey!

The helping profession which is often referred to as therapy or counseling has been my life-long goal. My desire has made me a patient, attentive, and non-judgmental listener and has shaped my approach to understanding clients’ needs better. I am also supportive and seek positivity in every situation presented. I thrive to make clients feel safe including even reluctant clients to find their own way during treatment but also help clients to learn how to take personal responsibility to take charge of their behavior. I facilitate, encourage, empower, and help the client discover their potential to overcome barriers to treatment and find solutions and subsequently heal. I utilize approaches that are tailored to the client dependent on the issues, goals, and outcomes. Clients must be willing to participate to reach enlightenment to help them understand themselves in a new way and break from their own poor mindset and maladaptive behaviors. I hold a master’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in mental health counseling and am a licensed professional counselor in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey with 10 years of experience helping children, adolescents, adults, and families. I am a multicultural counselor who believes that endogenous factors can control individual behavior. Hence, when clients realize and acknowledge the inside factor, it eventually can bring about healing. That is, I am not there to prove my client wrong but help them find their own way out of their self-entanglement or damaging belief. No one approach fits all clients. The therapeutic alliance that is the client-therapist relationship will become the greatest change agent-Trust, genuineness, and participation.

For the last 13 years I have worked in family law as a mediator, custody evaluator, and parent coordinator. I'm looking to blend my experience in family law with my mental health training. My areas of expertise are divorce/separation, co-parenting, and parenting. I am licensed in Oregon and Washington and have been in private practice since 2020. I understand these life transitions are difficult and approach each situation without judgment and with compassion and sensitivity. My goal is to help you adjust to these changes so that you are able to be a better parent and/or person than you were the day before. Although I've been in this field for many years, the therapist role is relatively new to me but I look forward to learning together and helping you to establish a plan to reach your goals.
