I am a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) specializing in individual and couples therapy, and maintain a private practice in Walla Walla, Washington. In October of 2018, I relocated my practice from Kirkland, Washington. I am certified in Emotoinally Focused Therapy as an EFT Supervisor and therapist.
With over 25 years experience providing counseling & social services to individuals, couples and families; and as a graduate of Walla Walla University specializing in social work, I serve as private practitioner working with a broad spectrum of clients.
I am an interactive, emotion focused therapist. My therapeutic approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. I integrate complementary methodologies and techniques to offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client. With compassion and understanding, I work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.
