My Approach

My primary approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with the understanding that listening to you is essential to providing the best care possible. In our first sessions, my goal is to understand you, your story and what brought you in, with empathy and without judgment. Together we will recognize your strengths, set clear goals and build on your resilience at a pace that feels right for you. 

I strive to create a safe, welcoming and judgment-free space where you feel heard, valued and understood. At Renton Counseling Center, you will have the chance to share brief feedback at each session about how you are doing and how our work together feels. I welcome that feedback, including when something isn't working, because it helps me adjust and keeps our time focused on real progress. 

With teens, I make room for their own voice while welcoming parents and caregivers as partners when their support helps. For clients who would like their Christian faith to be part of counseling, I am glad to integrate Christian beliefs, values and scripture into our work, only at your request and at your pace. As a licensed and ordained minister, I hold that calling with care: clients of every faith background, or none, are equally welcome. 
 

Why I Became a Therapist 

My passion for mental health counseling grew out of my own life experiences and a desire to help others navigate life's challenges. I understand how painful experiences can affect our lives, and I believe healing begins with feeling seen, heard and understood. It is my privilege to walk alongside you as you discover your strengths and embrace personal growth. You don't have to navigate life's challenges alone.
