I am a licensed mental health therapist with over 8 years of experience, including 6 years in school counseling and 2 years working with individuals and families. My approach I take a strengths-based, person-centered approach, which means that I am focused on creating an environment that highlights and builds on who you are and on solutions that are unique and tailored to your individual needs and qualities as a person. I believe in empowering clients to make real change in their daily lives. My focus My specialties include working with clients experiencing behavioral challenges, parenting, depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. My communication style I prefer open and direct communication and transparency. My goal is to be both warm and authentic, to reflect and validate your thoughts and feelings, while also creating an environment that is focused on your strengths. My journey to mental healthcare I began my career in school settings, where I developed a deep passion for supporting mental health across all ages. Originally from the Pacific Northwest, I’ve provided both in-person and Telehealth therapy across Washington State. My goals for you I create a collaborative environment where we can work together to identify and create realistic steps toward achievable goals in your treatment plan. Each plan is specific to addressing your mental health and setting you on the path toward creating the life you want. My first session with you The first session will be an intake, with the goal of gaining a comprehensive history of your background and your current needs. By the end of the intake, we would have identified goals, barriers, and symptoms that are impacting your life and a clear direction on next steps in treatment.
