I enjoy interacting with clients who are courageous enough to seek counseling. I am passionate about providing an authentic, compassionate foundation to allow clients to get the help they need. Systemic, cultural, or societal expectations might leave you with your head spinning, and I welcome the opportunity to help you investigate ways in which you might control your own destiny. I am committed to working from an anti-oppression lens, meaning that I see and acknowledge your unique identity and recognize the impact society has on your daily well-being. Your individuality and diversity will be embraced.
I hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and an Addiction Studies Certificate from Antioch University, Seattle, WA, and I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State. My professional expertise includes counseling, advocacy, case management, and chemical dependency treatment, which I apply to help individuals navigate their mental health challenges and achieve holistic well-being.
I intentionally provide a safe, non-judgmental setting for clients to tell their stories. A client-centered, strength-based focus will help you to feel safe and empowered. I also utilize humor and creativity in sessions to help you get the most out of therapy. Together we will set short- and long-term goals that allow you to see your own growth.
