About Me

I am a licensed mental health counseling associate in Washington State. I enjoy the outdoors, spending time with my family, and finding meaning in helping others thrive and accomplish their goals. I am an optimist at heart, I approach life with warmth and curiosity. My kids are what motivate me to do my best and grow every day. I am also an Activated Guardsman in the Oregon Air National Guard. I have been serving for nine years and intend to retire from the Air Force. I have deployed several times, worked in multiple roles, and have a deep place in my heart for serving other veterans.

Counseling in my opinion is the therapeutic alliance most marked by the ability to build a connection that can be healing in nature through the corrective emotional experience that therapy brings. My role as a counselor is to work collaboratively with my clients to facilitate healing and bring awareness to current issues they may experience.

I specialize in treatment for PTSD, anxiety, depression, ADD, and transition issues. I have specialized training in EMDR, CBT, Gottman level 1, and schema therapy. I primarily use a person-centered approach that is rooted in the belief that each one of us is the expert of our own lives and has the innate capacity for healing within ourselves.
