Who I Am. I have a private counseling practice in Lacey, Washington where
I see individuals, couples, and families. In my comfortable office
I create a quiet and safe atmosphere for you and your loved ones
in which conversations can be carried out in privacy.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with the Washington Department
of Health, License Number LH00009712. I have also met the demanding requirements
of the National Board of Certified Counselors and am a National Certified

counseling. Additionally I have successfully completed a nine-month supervised
clinical internship in a community mental health agency in which I gained
experience in providing individual, couple, family, and group counseling
for a wide range of mental health problems. I also have a Bachelor of
Arts Degree in Liberal Arts from The Evergreen State College.
I have completed a significant number of post-graduate training hours
