Being a parent, or caregiver, is no small thing.  There are so many challenges now-a-days.  The child mental health crisis has grown, and with it, the family mental health crisis, which means treatment must include the family as a whole.  My role as a therapist is to assist your child and family as a whole in working towards your goals by offering a supportive and safe space, and providing the opportunity for growth as a family.

I have a strong foundation as a caring and supportive counselor and aim to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. I am an enthusiastic, diligent and motivated counselor dedicated to helping each client achieve success. While the work can be complicated, I have the empathy, active listening skills and adaptability required to understand and convey even complex needs. I tailor my communication to meet the needs of each client and to collaborate with external partners like housing services or emergency responders.

Do you have a child who is struggling with not being able to communicate with his/her peers and the adults in their life? Or do you know someone struggling with depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? Are you wanting to find a way to understand where your child is coming from or come back to a healthy sense of wellbeing? I have worked with school aged children, before and after school, on social and emotion issues, along with working through difficult situations they may face or have already faced, and worked with them on how to communicate with peers and adults.

I believe it is important for us to be able to be able find peace within ourselves. It takes courage to ask for help. It takes dedication and grit to take your power and take steps towards healing. I want to be there to encourage you in your path. Mental health impacts all domains in our lives and I have witnessed the power of having someone walk beside you has in enabling healing.

Email is best for contact, calling may delay response time. I see clients in WA and OR some in person, mostly virtual. My ideal client...might have anxiety, dealing with relational issues, struggling with depression, might feel isolated or lonely or might need support in other areas of life. My clients might be somewhat scared to approach change and some may be goal oriented. Some clients that I see might struggle to really know the path they wish to take or how to begin their therapeutic journey. My client/s may wish to work on self care and self love and integrate that in each of their personal goals. My clients are resilient.
