my philosophy

I believe counseling is a collaborative, client-driven process that allows individuals to identify strengths and build upon them for positive life change.  I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and IFS (Internal Family Systems) as my primary counseling approach.  My services are offered entirely via tele-health so you can experience all the benefits of the counseling process from the comfort of your home.

 

Throughout the therapeutic process I encourage the inclusion of natural supports to assist those I'm working with achieve wellness. I believe those I work with have the power to attain their goals and live healthier lives through evidence-based goal-directed clinical work.

 

I hold a Masters of Education (M. Ed.) in Counseling Psychology from Washington State University and am independently licensed in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah and Nevada. I am a Washington State Certified Child Mental Health Specialist (CMHS) as well as a Washington State Certified Mental Health Professional (MHP).  I am also a National Certified Counselor (NCC). I am a member of EMDR International, EMDR certified, and an Approved EMDR Consultant.  I have also completed Level 2 Internal Family Systems (ISF) training through the IFS Institute.
