“Strengths-based and client-centered teletherapy for the state of Washington. A place for you to create positive change!”

About Me

Seeking positive change? This teletherapy practice offers a welcoming space for you. The counsellor helps you explore your unique strengths, building on what already makes you resilient. Sessions are a collaborative journey, guiding you to discover powerful personal resources. This strengths-based approach helps you create lasting change, conveniently from your home in Washington state. It’s a place where you can truly nurture your own growth.

Approach

Here you'll find gentle, practical steps that turn strengths into everyday tools for managing change. I meet with you online from Seattle, working in English, keeping sessions steady and focused so we can address trauma, family patterns, or relationship shifts without feeling rushed. Between sessions I offer simple experiments or reflections you can try, then we review what worked and adjust together. People seeking collaborative, paced support—individuals, couples, and families—often find this approach grounding and doable.
