Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

I am a clinician at our Edmonds clinic who provides therapy services!

My ideal client is someone who has the courage to reach out for help. What ever the issues, and considering that needs and goals of each individual is unique to that person, the what and why is the key that only the client holds to unlock their door to a more productive and satisfying life. Therefore, my ideal client is someone who is open to challenging themself, exploring the past behaviors and beliefs that no longer serve them without guilt or shame. And are willing to try new ways of being, moving towards a daily practice where the client feels better about themselves, the situations and their relationships.

I can help my clients by providing a safe space where they can explore their thoughts, experiences, and feelings. Regardless of the personal issues, mental health, trauma, stress, or relationship concerns, I can assist them in tapping into their own ability to gain a better understanding of themselves, identifying patterns that no longer serve them to create healthy ways of coping and thus improving their quality of life and wellbeing. My approach is to provide a non-judgmental space where the client is heard and their feelings are validated.

Just like all relationships, the therapeutic relationship is no different. Trust, empathy, clear boundaries, and mutual respect are very important in building this relationship. My intent is to work with my client in developing their treatment goals, providing suggestions, therapeutic tools, and education as we work together. I believe no one knows a person better than themself and by following the client’s lead, I will be better at supporting them.
