COVID-19 has changed our lives in many unexpected ways. I want to be able to provide therapy to help you manage the anxiety and grief that may come in the months ahead. I am now offering telementalhealth for people in Washington State so that you can have support and help from your home using a computer or smart phone. Please contact me if you are interested.
There is no time like the present to work toward a better quality of life!
Building a strong therapeutic relationship is my highest priority. If you choose to work with me, you will find that we will work together to develop a treatment plan that is just right for you. I truly love my work and would be honored to be able to help you to feel better. We can work individually or can include family members if you would like.
Our work together will be highly individualized. We will begin with traditional talk therapy and then integrate evidence based treatment approaches depending upon your treatment goals: CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for depression and anxiety), CBT-E (for eating disorders recovery), FBT (Family Based Treatment for adolescents with eating disorders), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma recovery), or Gottman Methods Couples Therapy for relationship issues.
I have a passion for working with people who have struggled with mental health issues for a long time. I have been successful in helping people who feel discouraged or hopeless. If you would like, we can integrate discussion of spirituality or faith with your therapy.
Here are two videos of me that you might like to see to get a better feeling for who I am. In the first one, I am explaining how I think about eating disorders treatment and recovery. The second one is an instructional video that I made with students at Northwest University to demonstrate correct and incorrect usage of basic counseling skills.
Please call or email me to schedule an initial appointment. I usually respond faster to e-mails than phone calls because I can reply to an e-mail at any time.
