| Practice Description: |
The decision to see a counselor is a brave one! I would be honored to join you in your process. I provide an open-ended context for people to imagine how life could be different or better. Most of my clients are high-functioning people who come into counseling to re-evaluate, re-invent, grieve, to let go, to become closer to a loved one, or to process difficult decisions or transitions. I make every effort to create an environment where clients feel safe to be honest, to express anger, sorrow, and disappointment without judgment. Together, we create a way through trying times that fits the client's unique personality and process. I am a Washington State Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Approved Supervisor. I hold degrees in Psychology from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology and Texas Wesleyan University.

| Additional Comments: |
