What should a new client know about working with you?
I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Washington. I am an older counselor/therapist with over thirty (30) years experience working with a diversity of issues in that time. I hold a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology and an ED.D. in academic program development. I am a certified School Counselor and worked as a family therapist for many of those years, so I am comfortable working with all ages and problems. An important part of my practice is working with children and adolescents.
I hold that all should be treated with respect, inherent worth and dignity. I am an Eclectic therapist using those techniques that work, including Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Dialectic Behavior therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused and a variety of the Family Therapies. I do value mindfulness and the existential ideas that give therapeutic fabric to lives. I believe that it is important to hear and then work together toward resolution. The purpose is to help provide you with direction for a fulfilled life.
In my own life I enjoy anything nature, reading, my family, and our Vizsla. We are avid travelers, usually going to places not well-visited. My three grown children are professionals and bring to family gatherings a small group of little people. I live with a professional writer but struggle with that myself. I also collect “antique” radios with a modest collection, old radio programs, and am a licensed ham radio operator.
I am eager get to know you and work with you.

What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you will take to achieve those goals.
-Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear understanding of what's going on.
-Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
