About

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State. I have been working in counseling, mental health and social services for 35 years and have experience with many individuals, couples and groups. The relationship between client and counselor is the key to a successful experience. I work hard to build rapport; to establish a relationship based on mutual trust and respect. I see counseling as a collaborative process and work with clients to establish goals and desired outcomes. I use therapeutic tools as needed and useful to explore and resolve the client’s concerns. It is important to receive new tools for living, but it is just as important to learn skills to use the tools effectively. My client’s safety and privacy are very important. My office is in a private, safe, secure location; free of distraction or interruption.
