Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC)
Hi! Seattle Counseling and Wellness is a group practice made up of clinicians from all walks of life who are eager, excited, and skilled to work with you!
Everyone experiences difficulty and pain, and for many of us these stressors also prevent us from leading our most fulfilling lives. Oftentimes we may not even know why we feel or act a certain way, only that there must be a better option. I work with those 18+ who are trying to overcome these challenges to live effective and fulfilled lives, whatever their circumstance. I approach therapy primarily from a Humanistic orientation, so I believe that what people do and how they react to their world makes sense from their perspective. As a therapist I strive first to understand that perspective so that we can work collaboratively towards accomplishing your goals. My experiences with clinical research have led me to appreciate and use evidence-based practices (EBPs) in my therapy. Some of the EBPs which inform my treatment plans are acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and prolonged exposure (PE).
