Stress ManagementI am a licensed mental health counselor in the State of Washington with over eight years of experience in community mental health and private practice. I have developed competency in a variety of approaches to therapy. At the core of this process involves the professional relationship between the client and therapist. Although I draw upon a variety of specific treatment approaches, I focus on developing and maintaining a quality relationship with those that choose to work with me.
