Mental Health Counseling and Treatment

  • I work with issues as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, ADD/ADHD, divorce and separations as well as other family disruptions and transitions. I encourage clients to process their emotions and experiences by helping define their treatment goals, plan their course of action/treatment, and gain insight into their thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive behavior therapy, Motivational Interviewing and relational therapy will be implemented in a strengths-based, person-centered approach to help you focus on your internal strengths to build solutions. I am licensed by Washington State Department of Health and currently under WA State Approved Supervision.

  • Evidence Based Treatment

    Evidence-based treatment for clients experiencing a range of emotional and/or behavioral problems. I implement approaches that address client’s individual value systems and backgrounds. Among these approaches are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)-a structured, goal-oriented type of psychotherapy (talk therapy), motivational interviewing (MI)-clients determine their goals for change and own path for change and relational therapy-which promotes development of new ideas and thinking patterns about relationships and belief systems.

  • Strength-Based Focus

    Based on core concepts of positive psychotherapy, we focus on your internal strengths and resourcefulness, rather than on your weaknesses, failures, and shortcomings. Developing a positive mindset will help you build on your best qualities, find your strengths, improve resilience, and change your worldview to one that is more positive. Our goal is to discover the inner strengths you can tap into in order to build solutions.

  • Person-Centered Approach

    Every person is unique and, therefore, everyone’s view of his or her own world, and their ability to manage it, should be trusted. We have the power to find the best solutions for ourselves and the ability to make appropriate changes in our lives.
