Welcome to my website.  Whether you are making your first journey into counseling or have worked with a therapist before, I wish you well in your search for the Provider who will most successfully help you reach your goals.  As you browse through my site, I urge you to consider any topics you may like further explained or questions you’d like to pose. You are welcome to use my email, listed on this site, to send me your queries and I will do my best to get back to you as soon as possible.

As a licensed psychologist working in Bellevue, Washington, I perform psychotherapy, skills training, and coaching services for Clients from a diversity of backgrounds struggling with a variety of issues. Examples of problems I have assisted clients with include the many aspects of depression, including sadness, loneliness, loss of interests and motivation, extended grief, and thoughts of suicide. I have also worked with Clients struggling with debilitating anxiety, who may worry chronically or experience panic attacks, or who may have suffered trauma and are dealing with symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.  I have additional experience working with seniors as well as individuals suffering from chronic pain and disability.  A further interest of mine involves coaching and skills-training work with individuals who may need assistance improving relationship skills, communication skills, or emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills.

My goal as your therapist is to help you feel welcome and safe in sharing your personal story and the struggles you are currently facing. I hold an optimistic, constructive view of human beings and believe in the individual’s substantial capacity to be self-determining. At the same time, we all face difficult issues at times over which we have little control, and in those instances I will work to assist you in moving toward a place of inner peace and acceptance.

I invite you to contact me, by telephone or email, and I will be happy to clarify any questions you may have or assist you in making an appointment.
