I am a Certified Counselor in the State of Washington with a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy and I have for than 35 years experience in counseling individuals, couples and families.
I counsel and guide clients in adjusting to life situations, developing new skills and making desired changes in their life when they have a global assessment of functioning score greater than sixty. I use a holistic approach incorporating a variety of counseling techniques including but not limited to Imago relationship counseling, active listening, hypnosis, gestalt, transactional analysis, Adlerian therapy, rational emotive therapy, and cognitive behavior therapy.
I do not diagnose clients, my goal is to teach you the skills and tools to empower yourself towards wellness. Disorders listed in the DSM require a written referral from a licensed medical professional for me to be able to legally work with you.
Things in the mirror are closer than they appear.
To me, no matter what the issue may be, it really gets down to creating a healthier relationship with SELF. That is my underlying goal in all therapy. Rarely is it about fixing someone else or something else – it truly is about making the changes within that allow you to create the joy, love and happiness in your life so you can achieve your goals.
