I utilize many different lenses of therapeutic work to ensure every client is getting services and support that tailors to their unique needs, but overall pulls from an overarching person-centered perspective.

I am available to help you heal, navigate relationships and transitions, and discover why you may face the same challenges again and again. If you feel trapped, uneasy or stalled in making decisions, I can help. The stresses of life squeeze our ability to think clearly and feel at the same time. As a result, our emotions rule us, resulting in depression, anxiety, anger, and relationship difficulties. I use evidence based practices, such as ACT and DBT to help clients regulate their emotions and reach their goals.

I offer evidenced-based therapies such as DBT, RO-DBT, ERP, CBT and more.
It is my privilege to witness my clients as they gain the skills to treat suicidal ideation, self-harming behaviors, extreme emotions, anxiety, depression, OCD, eating disorders, trauma, perfectionism, inflexibility and loneliness. These skills ultimately lead to connection with themselves, their partners, spouses and others in their lives and help them build a life worth living.

My therapeutic approaches include CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), CPRT (Child-Parent Relational Therapy), EFIT (Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), with a culturally appropriate framework, congruent with clients’ level of acculturation and desire to reach equanimity.
I love counseling, coaching and consulting. In delivering these approaches to enrich my clients’ lives, different modalities are used. These include and are not limited to cognitive behavioral, emotionally focused individual therapy, and humanistic/existential format – pinpointing where the client is at, promoting an understanding of their subjective experience while also honoring their past experiences. For some, recognizing and bringing awareness on how those experiences influence their present lives cultivates healing- one goal being maximizing an individual’s potential to enrich their lives according to their core values.

A few modalities I practice are Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Life never goes the way we plan, especially during adolescence and young adulthood. It feels like you know everything yet as time goes by, you realize there is so much more to learn. Once you think you have it figured out, life happens and your path completely changes. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington State, I offer Individual Therapy to Adolescents and Young Adults. I support clients experiencing challenges with academics, socializing, communication, problem solving, and time management. We will work together to determine your strengths and how to help you move towards positive change.

For children I engage via experiential, therapeutic games, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT).
I am accepting new clients. My clients are adults, children, and families. Adult clients are usually motivated to enter therapy by intrapersonal or interpersonal issues. Children often present internalized or externalized behavior problems and are brought into therapy by a concerned caregiver. Children may be depressed, withdrawn, angry, defiant, or underachieving. Therapy with children is very different from therapy with adults and requires an approach that is developmentally appropriate. I provide a confidential, safe place to explore psychodynamic issues and collaborate on approaches that feel right for you.
