Licensed Mental Health Counselor

Location: West of University of Washington. Near Roosevelt and 45th.
General Practice Area: I provide psychotherapy/counseling for individuals (Adults, Elders, and Adolescents) and couples. You might be feeling that your concern is taking so much out of you and frustrating. It is often difficult to get a good grasp of your experience when you have a lot on your mind. I believe, increasing awareness and understanding of experience(s) will help you to gain alternative perspectives that would help you to no longer feel stuck and/or afraid. Area of focus I often work with are Depression, Anxiety, Cultural Issues, Marital/Relationship Issues, Anger, Aging Issues, Low Self-esteem, Low Motivation, Work/Family Stress etc.
My approach reflects my training in Person-Centered Approach, Existential Psychotherapy, and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy.
