About
I make every effort to provide a warm and encouraging environment while offering the professional tools and guidance to assist clients on their individual and unique journey.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a solid background and extensive work experience, having spent over 23 years in the mental health counseling field. I have worked successfully with a wide variety of mental health, sexual, emotional, domestic violence, and other abusive situations, as well as behavioral therapy disorders. I have found success with clients whose cases range from less intensive to those of significant intensity. I am experienced in individual, marriage, and family counseling.
I earned my Master's in Guidance and Counseling from Louisiana Tech University. I understand that every person is unique and deserving of an individualized approach to treatment while also ensuring growth, autonomy, and respect for my clients.
I understand that at times things may seem overwhelming and confusing. I provide a space grounded in honesty, dignity, and real support, helping clients build confidence, restore hope, and reconnect with their strengths. Schedule your first appointment today!

At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Seattle, WA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
