With over 40 years of experience as a licensed counselor in Washington State, my mission is to empower individuals not only in recovery but also in their broader journey of personal growth and overcoming life’s challenges.

 

I take a holistic approach that integrates mental, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual well-being, helping clients navigate transitions and discover deeper meaning and purpose.

 

My practice incorporates cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused therapies, while also encouraging clients to break free from restrictive "cultural and societal norms" and the "domestication" of our culture and family systems to foster authentic personal growth.

 

I am passionate about supporting individuals who feel stuck, whether they are dealing with addiction, trauma, or life-long personal struggles. I believe that true transformation goes beyond healing oneself—it comes from contributing to the lives of others and building meaningful connections. By engaging with communities and individuals who are often voiceless, we can create bonds that transcend therapy and lead to lasting change and deep personal fulfillment.

​

My approach emphasizes not only sustainable recovery but also the importance of overall personal development. I guide clients in both individual and group settings to foster emotional resilience, build healthy relationships, and cultivate a strong sense of community.

 

Ultimately, I believe that true fulfillment is achieved through genuine connection and service to others, especially those without a voice. Together, we can create an authentic path toward healing, purpose, and growth, rooted in empathy and mutual transformation.
