I have served in the field for 12 years and welcome populations of all demographics, ethnicities and cultures. I have extensive experience in school based settings assisting with issues such as complex trauma, self harm, addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, loss, life transitions, divorce, adoption, children in the foster system, parent coaching, and other issues.

I work best with people who feel their world crumbling in some way. Whether you're pushed beyond your breaking point by life stressors, managing difficult life transitions, or want support transforming a precious but challenging relationship into a more satisfying state, I look forward to walking that path with you.

I trust my clients are striving for meaningful, satisfying lives and relationships and work to bring those goals into fruition regardless of our starting point.

I am a retired Senior Leader of the US Army. I consider myself an eclectic therapist with a sense of humor and do not believe one size fits all. I draw from various theories and use different therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Exposure Therapy, Family Systems Theories, Solution Focused, Brief Solution Focused as well as Behavior Activation techniques. I use the client center approach and use resources and support systems available for the client. I also assist with providing resources and connecting clients to their community. My specialization is in narcissist abuse education and recovery.

As a systemic therapist and child of immigrants, I am interested in learning about how lived experiences inform perceptions, as well as mental and emotional states. Systemic stressors (such as family conflict, systemic poverty and racism, marginalization, etc.) are often at the root of mental health issues. Many of my clients deal with symptoms of anxiety and depression due to issues ranging from trauma and abuse to imposter syndrome, perfectionism, shame, and lack of self-worth. If you are ready for change, I am here to help.

Today you are one step closer to a new you who feels empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As a client-centered counselor, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. I am also a WA State Approved Supervisor.

I love serving my community in Anacortes and surrounding areas. I have a wide range of expertise. I offer counseling for individuals, couples and minors.

Life is hard; no one said it would be easy. Nothing that has value comes easily. It seems the things that can bring us lasting joy are the things we have to work to achieve. We are all unique in history. Where we come from, which family, which culture, impacted who we are and who we will or have become. Yet, all of us are the same in that we need human interaction. We come into this world seeking others, touch, interaction. We are neither meant to be or have to be completely alone. *(I am an approved WA State Supervisor and am currently taking on LMHCA supervisees).

My approach to counseling involves the use of a wide variety of therapeutic techniques. I practice a wellness-oriented systems model (the whole life) of counseling/therapy with emphasis upon effective learning in life experiences and human growth and development.

I am only taking on self pay clients, and only offering online sessions currently. I work almost exclusively with EMDR and Internal Family Systems therapy, which are incredibly effective in treating depression, anxiety, and trauma, especially when talk therapy hasn't helped.

The decision to start therapy takes courage. It takes a willingness to walk toward your suffering and reclaim the parts of yourself that have been diminished, shamed, and cast aside. I believe that our suffering has meaning and can be the key to deep transformation and growth. If you are called to walk through the doorway of your struggles and find what gifts and insights are waiting on the other side, I can help you on that journey. ​ Our work will go beyond symptom management, into the deep inner territory of self-knowledge and self-actualization.

Many times in our lives we believe that overcoming obstacles is like attempting the impossible. We continue to feel lonely, make the same mistakes, and have the same fears, self- doubts that eventually cause us to believe that life will always be the same. Counseling can assist you in making the changes that you desire in your life. Providing you the opportunity to explore new avenues in which you might not have believed before. This journey may not be easy; however, it is one that can bring out the change you have been longing for.
