We all face obstacles in life and can be overwhelmed by strong emotions of anger, sadness, frustration and/or anxiety. Counseling can be a helpful, healthy way of addressing these challenges and feelings.

I take a humanistic approach in helping people achieve the changes they desire and create a fulfilling life. Counseling sessions offer clients an environment to learn more about themselves and become empowered to grow and overcome challenges.

In my practice, I respect clients through active listening and by focusing on the areas of concern they want to confront. I provide consistent and reliable service. Confidentiality is honored in all my work with clients.

Graduating from the University of Washington, I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and a minor in Women’s Studies. I then attended Seattle University for graduate school. Here, I obtained a Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling from the education department. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Child Mental Health Specialist in the state of Washington. I am also a member of the American Counseling Association.
