Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Bellevue, WA
With over three decades of dedicated practice in Bellevue and Seattle, I have established myself as a trusted clinical psychologist serving adolescents and adults. My approach centers on forming collaborative partnerships with clients to address diverse mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, and trauma-related disorders. Utilizing evidence-based methods like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, I focus on fostering emotional well-being and equipping clients with practical coping strategies tailored to their unique needs. Licensed in both Washington and California, I maintain active memberships in the Washington State Psychological Association and the American Psychological Association, ensuring adherence to the highest professional standards.My practice emphasizes accessibility through flexible in-person and telemedicine options, and I work closely with insurance providers like Regence Blue Shield and Premera to streamline care. Having earned my Ph.D. from Southern Illinois University-Carbondale and completed specialized training at the American Lake Veterans Administration, I bring both academic rigor and real-world expertise to every session. My commitment to personalized, compassionate care remains unwavering, whether clients seek crisis resolution, life transition support, or skill-building for new challenges.
