Licensed Mental Health Counselor Washington State

Marriage Counseling and Couples Counseling

I provide marriage counseling, couples counseling and individual counseling sessions in Renton. I help couples learn more effective communication and conflict resolution skills for dealing with many relationship concerns. I educate couples on using a common language to gain a better understanding of their partner and their own needs within the relationship.

Individuals

Many people deal with anger, depression, anxiety and maladaptive behaviors at some point in their lives. My approach to therapy is a collaborative effort between client and therapist to fully understand the presenting problem and subsequent fallout for how it has impacted the client’s life. I value client feedback and often utilize humor during therapy sessions to lighten the intensity at key moments. Humor has a wonderful way of normalizing life’s challenges and can provide much needed relief from chronic stress and trauma.

Couples

I help couples learn more effective communication and conflict resolution skills for dealing with relationship concerns. In today’s world of advanced technology and constant internet access, couples are now facing the associated problems of increased work demands, fewer date nights, less emotional connectivity, and differing sexual needs. My role is that of a neutral third party observer so that I may offer constructive and unbiased feedback. In working with me, you will find that I am compassionate, understanding and non-judgmental.
