Great to meet you!

Hello! My name is Tyler and I am a licensed clinical social worker in the State of Washington. I have worked in a variety of settings including a hospital setting, crisis intervention, outpatient therapy, and currently I am in a school setting. When working with clients, I use a person-centered approach and focus on using motivational interviewing solution-focused techniques.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is really about making sure you have a safe space to explore your goals and values - we all define growth and healing differently. As a social worker, I take a holistic viewpoint when working with clients and recognize there is no "one-size-fits-all" method. I am not a person who will just nod along with things you say, I will engage in challenging some of your thinking and provide different perspectives you might not have considered.

What you can expect from our first session

While working with me, my goal is to create a safe environment where you are able to grow and meet your goals. You are in the driver seat, my job to help you reach those goals.
