I have a doctorate in Psychology, and I have spent the last 30 years working as a Mental Health Therapist. I am licensed to practice in Washington State, Florida, Arizona, and Missouri. I use therapeutic methods grounded in cognitive and behavioral therapies (behaviorism, CBT, DBT, and the Unified Protocol), all backed by extensive research showing the therapy is effective. I am also trained as an Imago Couples Therapist. I have a strong background helping people manage and cope with depression, general anxiety, social and performance anxiety, phobias, OCD, PTSD and trauma, major life changes, and emotional regulation.

I will be honest. I will be clear, direct, and supportive. I have been trained to teach you to build skills and use the new skills in your daily life. I have been trained to assist you to process emotions, build self-safety, and work through trauma. These skills, when used correctly, will help you regulate your emotions and behavior in relationships.

These skills, when used correctly, will help you regulate your emotions and how you behave in relationships. I will be with you every step of the way.
