ABOUT ME

Experienced Counseling Professional

Since 2000, I’ve helped my clients break through the obstacles that seem to be holding them back in life. Life's too short to be unhappy, unsure, or unfulfilled. Let me help you learn and develop better ways to handle the issues that are standing in the way of your goals. Get in touch today to see what I can do for you.
I am licensed in the states of WA and ID (and soon PA) and offer morning, afternoon, and Saturday office sessions.

STRENGTH-BASED APPROACH

Support That Makes a Difference

Your relationship with yourself is as important as the relationships you have with others. Nurturing, nourishing and noticing your needs, the three "N's" are all about the importance of how you take care of yourself- the whole picture. I work from a whole-person approach, taking into account the emotional, physical, social, spiritual and vocational parts of who you are. Mental wellness is my focus and that involves your communication and relationship skills, your navigation of your emotions, as well as the more everyday pieces of sleep, stress management, nutrition, exercise, and relaxation. It is my goal to offer services that are non-judgmental, affordable and convenient.

I have almost 20 years of counseling experience with adolescents, adults and couples. I provide assistance to those struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, sadness or grief, adjustment issues, relationship issues, problem-solving skills, and life skills. I also specialize in working with college students, families with gifted/talented children/adolescents, women's health issues (including pre and post pregnancy support) and in working with cancer patients and their families. I offer many approaches including those grounded in cognitive behavioral, strength-based and attachment theory.

INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING SESSION

Sometimes we all need help. Life can throw us curve balls. Counseling can help you put the pieces back together in a way that results in a healthier, stronger, more resilient self. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with over nineteen years experience helping adults, adolescents and couples make their lives happier, more peaceful and healthier. I work from a holistic perspective. This philosophy of counseling emphasizes balance in all areas of your life, including mental, physical, social, emotional, spiritual, and vocational. Individual in-person sessions can offer a unique kind of support, self-discovery and healing.

RELATIONSHIP COUNSELING SESSION

When working to heal relationships, so much of what is going on in our interactions with our partners is influenced by issues and wounds within ourselves we must heal. Having counseling sessions together (and sometimes a couple of individual sessions as well) allows space for personal healing and transformation which impacts the health of a relationship.
These sessions allow us to work directly with what obstacles have come between you. I help couples develop and practice more productive problem-solving and communication skills. I also assist partners in safely exploring their difficulties together, building on the relationship’s strengths and working through areas of anger, fear and resentment, in order to form a healthier, happier relationship.

CANCER SUPPORT SESSIONS FOR INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES

I have worked in the field of cancer care for years. When a diagnosis of cancer happens, it happens not just to an individual but to a family, too. It can be bewildering and overwhelming. I help you advocate for your needs and help you navigate the life changes and emotional landscape of treatment and healing.
