Your Trusted Mental Health Therapist in Newcastle
I am a licensed mental health counselor with over a decade of experience in therapeutic practice. My journey began with academic foundations in English and Journalism, followed by hands-on work in community mental health settings where I supported adults with severe mental illness and co-occurring substance abuse challenges. Through years of clinical practice, I have developed an eclectic therapeutic approach rooted in relational and psychodynamic frameworks, integrating attachment theory, family systems, and mindfulness principles. My professional philosophy centers on creating a safe, empathetic space where clients feel deeply understood and supported in exploring their unique life narratives.With specialized expertise in adoption-related issues, trauma recovery, and life transitions, I provide telehealth counseling services for individuals aged 13+, couples, and families across Washington state. As both clinician and lifelong learner, I continually refine my practice through the lens of personal and professional experiences, maintaining active licensure (LMHC #LH60740893) and adherence to ethical mental health care standards.
