Background Information

I graduated from Western Washington University with my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, and Seattle University with my Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling.  In addition to my work as a private practice therapist in Greenlake, I work as a therapist at Seattle Pacific University and as an Adjunct faculty member at Seattle University.  I counsel individuals, couples, and groups.

I have experience working in a variety of settings including private practice, college campuses, outpatient centers, hospitals, jails, and social detox.  I have worked with individuals ages 12-98 from a variety of different cultural and religious backgrounds.  Issues that I have gained more extensive experience with include: Adult Children of Alcoholic’s, substance abuse, eating preoccupations, self-harm, depression, anxiety, and spirituality issues.  Groups that I have facilitated include, recovery from eating disorders, anxiety reduction groups, stress management/coping skills, setting boundaries, and women’s groups. 

My Theoretical Approach

My approach to counseling is holistic focusing on emotions, relationships, thoughts, past experiences, behavior, biology, and nutrition. The theories I practice from are person-centered, psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioral. I recognize that every person is innately different and brings a variety of different strengths and challenges.  Therefore I use techniques from many additional theoretical orientations to treat each individual holistically as well as uniquely.
