More about me
Licensing: LCSW, MHP Years in Practice: 15 State: Washington
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Washington State with ten years of experience working with people navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, and life-changing situations. It takes incredible mental and physical effort in order to be done successfully and therefore tests a person's ability to challenge irrational beliefs.
My approach is solution-focused, client-centered, and strengths-based. I assist clients in identifying and challenging harmful thoughts and replacing them with a more realistic, healthy perspective. I work with individuals or couples to utilize the main components of cognitive behavioral therapy, behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based therapies. Cognitive therapy focuses mainly on thought patterns as responsible for negative emotional and behavioral patterns.
When working with clients, I make the therapy experience safe, respectful, authentic and affirming. You are the narrator and navigator of your life. You are the expert with unique values and needs. I enjoy working with clients open to making changes and creating meaningful fulfillment.

My focus is on providing a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space for adults, couples, and families to share their experiences and to help them navigate through positive or negative experiences to improve their lives and find purpose.
I received a Master's in Social work in 2011 from the University of Washington School of Social Work. I have more than 15 years of experience in social services working with a range of people experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, family conflict, and symptoms of severe, persistent mental illness (SPMI). Over the past five years, I have worked in private practice with a wide range of mental and behavioral health needs. I can collaborate with a multi-disciplinary team – psychiatrists, primary care, and social service agencies.
Locating a therapist whose personality and style will assist you in developing the appropriate skills is essential but necessary. I look forward to helping those to effectively pursue their values and explore what keeps them from being the best version of themselves. Today is a good day to start.
About online counseling
Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
