I am trained in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, DBT, EMDR, and marriage and family therapy. I am also recognized in Washington State as an Ethnic Minority Mental Health Specialist (EMMHS), which informs my culturally attuned and respectful approach to care.
I believe deeply in the inherent strengths that individuals and families bring to their own process of change. My work is grounded in a holistic perspective, viewing each person’s experiences through the bio-psycho-social-spiritual lens.
Clients can expect warm, attentive listening as we begin to explore their experiences together. I create a supportive environment where they can share openly at their own pace. During the first session, we’ll start identifying the concerns they want to address and the goals they hope to reach. I work collaboratively to understand what’s getting in the way and what strengths they already possess. Together, we’ll begin mapping out the most helpful path forward.
