Accepting New Clients
Location(s): Lynnwood
I strive to provide each client the opportunity to find HOPE. Hope for understanding, healing and growth. Hope for freedom, joy, and peace. Hope for wholeness. I was led to the field of counseling through my own life experiences, including growing up in a turbulent inner city with an immigrant family, where I learned to find meaning and peace in a world full of chaos. The truth is, life is sometimes a bumpy road. We often find ourselves confused, disillusioned, disappointed, angry, sad, afraid, addicted or simply numb to it all. The process of counseling can and does often lead a person to a place of newfound hope.
I believe we are meant for connection and to feel part of the whole. I would be honored to join you in this process of self-actualization and help you build mental flexibility for the life you desire. My goal is to assist clients in health and wellness, anchoring into a mind/body connection, and to build a trusting therapeutic relationship for their next milestone. I work well with those who want to develop a new routine, reduce or eliminate substance use, speak up at work, choose a career path, overcome shyness or social anxiety, and/or improve relationships and communication skills.
I have a background in trauma-informed care, adolescent development issues, individual career growth, and parenting support. These are achieved by utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Counseling strategies, Mindfulness, DBT, and Gestalt therapy.
I invite you to a warm, safe, and open environment without judgement or shame. An environment that values trust and honesty. Let’s reconstruct narratives that aren’t working for you, and relax your nervous system so you can gather courage to build the life of your dreams.
