I love using IFS, and DBT to help people have beautiful lives and cope with the less than wonderful times. I have been a licensed (Washington state) therapist for 10 years. I have a Bachelors in Psychology from Western Oregon University and a Master of Social Work degree from Portland State University. I have 10 years of experience providing addiction counseling. I am passionate about helping people have beautiful and joyful lives. I will join you on your journey as you heal, grow, and create the life you have always wanted. Life can be challenging at times. Choosing to have a helper by your side is a courageous move and I'm so glad you're here taking the first step toward your transformational journey. Rather than focusing on problems, I focus on strengths and solutions for your everyday life. I am a skilled counselor, using evidence-based modalities to remove barriers between you and your goals. Many of my clients come to treatment for depression, anxiety, and stress-related concerns as well as grief and loss, trauma/PTSD, and... you name it. I specialize in helping LGBTQ clients create fabulous joyful lives and in helping all kinds of unique fantastic people, just like you, have the magical life you have always dreamed of! I love doing relationship counseling and working with alternative relationships such as ethical non-monogamy, and polyamory. I have a sex-positive, kink-positive practice and a no-secrets policy when working with relationships.
