I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate in the state of Washington and I work with relationship issues, shame, childhood wounds, anxiety, depression, grief, and anger-management. My approach to counseling is informed by a deep belief that every individual has inherent value and dignity. In my work, I seek to offer my clients a safe place to unpack the difficulties of life while also offering hope for a more fulfilling future. I believe that healing is relational, and I want to offer my clients an experience of compassion and empathy as we work through healing together.
I draw from a variety of approaches to therapy including person-centered, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I am also trained in Polyvagal theory, which provides a deeper understanding of the nervous system and how certain techniques can help us regulate our nervous systems.
Often the biggest hurdle in therapy is getting in the door. My team at Meridian Counseling Services can make this a smooth experience for you. I encourage you to reach out, I would be thrilled to meet with you.
