Welcome to Built for Better Counseling, a small Veteran-owned therapy practice with a mission to improve mental health access for men in Washington and Oregon.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? All of us experience seasons of unbalance, heartache, and emotional distress. My practice is centered on us co-authoring respectful and lasting solutions to the struggles you have experienced in the past or are presently experiencing. It is important to me for sessions to include: hopefulness, compassion, and a sense of humor. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington State. I also have a Professional Counselor License for the State of Oregon (LPC). I have worked at CHARIS Counseling Associates for over a decade. Before my counseling career, I was a high school teacher with PPS.

I delight in helping my clients discover muscles they didn't realize they had. Using a strength-based and compassionate approach, I help my clients identify the root cause of their struggles and teach them new and more helpful coping techniques. My clients routinely report improved mood, better emotion regulation, and deeper connections with their spouses, families and friends.

I believe every person can find a way toward strength, growth, and healing, but I also know it can be hard to be alone in the process. Hi, I'm Deborah! I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing unexpected challenges, trauma, life transitions, complex relationship and family dynamic issues. I'm passionate about the possibility of meaningful change, because I've been on the other side. That's why I strive to help others find hope through the storm, freedom from the obstacles they face to realize healing, restore relationships and experience abundant living.

I am accepting new clients and have space available in my fall support groups! Welcome to my practice! I understand how daunting it can be to take the first step in seeking help. It's not easy to find a therapist who truly understands you and your needs. I specialize in supporting adults and elders as they navigate through feelings of anxiety, caregiver burnout, chronic illness, depression, financial trauma, life transitions, medical trauma, and menopause symptoms.

You are the only one that can direct your path and create everything you want within your healing journey. We often can stand in our own way so it is vital to knock these barriers down to find our true selves!

I enjoy working with clients who wish to see lasting change through engaging the stories and systems underlying their unwanted thoughts, behaviors, anxieties, or relationship issues. They may even identify with a belief that they are "broken" or "too sensitive". Many of my clients identify as high achievers, neurodivergent and/or highly gifted, athletes, creatives or parents. Many also hold identifies with marginalized groups as LGBTQ+ or BIPOC folx. Together we will listen to the story your body, symptoms, and/or behaviors are telling you so you can find your way back to yourself and restore connection.

Hi! There's a lot of reasons that people come to therapy. Typically, the first time is always the most challenging and scary; you don't know what to expect, you aren’t sure if the therapist is going to pry in to your deepest darkest memories, and you don’t know if you will even like the therapist. Whatever your preexisting ideas are about counseling, it’s ok. I invite your fears and hopes alike. My job as a therapist is to provide a welcoming, safe atmosphere in which you feel comfortable, relaxed and free to talk about whatever it is that’s on your mind, as well as help you gain insight and make positive changes in your life.

My approach is holistic in nature, applying mind, body and spirit. For over seven years, I have worked with adults in a variety of settings. I have had the privilege of coming alongside individuals who are going through intense and often life-changing situations. All of these relationships are personal to me and through these experiences I have come to learn the devastating effects painful life events has on lives. I know therapy can feel scary and vulnerable. Just the thought of it can feel overwhelming and exhausting. And yes, it can even feel risky. It takes courage to confront fears and ask for help.

Are you looking for a safe space to discuss your mental health? My counseling style is calm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, individuality, and compassion. I work with clients who experience depression, anxiety, and postpartum. I believe the therapeutic relationship can be a rewarding and remarkable experience. I take great care in the work I do to understand your needs and am honored to witness and walk with you on your journey.
