Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Hello! I offer therapy services at our Renton clinic.
I am an integrative, trauma-informed, person-centered, affirming therapist who holds a compassionate, supportive space grounded in respect and empathy, where individuals can explore their experiences. I have experience working with adults 18+ in outpatient and residential co-occurring settings providing both group and individual therapy services. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including addiction, PTSD, depression, anxiety, self-worth/esteem issues, women’s issues, domestic violence, and chronic health.
I emphasize trust and open communication, recognizing the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for meaningful, lasting change. I tailor evidence-based approaches such as EMDR and DBT to meet each client’s unique needs, fostering a safe, collaborative environment that supports growth and healing.
I consider the therapeutic relationship to be high priority. An individual needs to feel the therapist is trustworthy and the environment is a safe place to disclose difficult issues. Without a relationship of trust and communication between the client and therapist, there can be no effective therapy.
