Are you currently struggling with Anxiety or stress? Trouble sleeping, thoughts running constantly through your mind? You are not alone. Thankfully God through his common grace has allowed psychology to develop ways to feel less stressed and take every thought captive.

Has sadness or grief made your life smaller? Are you eating less or more? Do you feel your hope slowly fading? Fear not! You have a great High Priest in Jesus who can sympathize with your pain, and who has provided a way to hope and fullness!

When relationships are not going well it takes a heavy toll. Whether it is a marriage that has grown distant, friction between parents and children, or establishing appropriate boundaries with your family of orgin, relationships can be messy, and I would love to be of help

Are you finding it difficult to trust God? Is the extent of your suffering leading you to question your faith? Have you been hurt by the Church? Whatever the concern, spiritual struggles can feel overwhelming, and create feelings of being alone.

You might get different answers from different people on this. My approach is rooted in the tradition of Christian Pastoral care. I view my professional counseling work as clinical ministry, integrating spiritual principals and traditions with contemporary psychotherapy and social sciences. People of all beliefs are welcome. The purpose of my counseling is to assist people to increase their level of functioning, meet realistic life goals, resolve problems in their relational, emotional, and spiritual lives, and develop and grow meaning and purpose.

I work regularly with issues of anxiety and stress, depressed mood, sadness, grief, marital issues, infidelity, relationship issues, parenting issues, obsessive compulsive traits, spiritual concerns, dysfunctional family dynamics, preparing for marriage, loneliness, spiritual abuse, trauma, pornography struggles, infertility, and more.

I work with individuals over 13 years of age, couples, and families. I work with all types of Christians including Protestant, Catholic, denominational, no-denominational, orthodox, etc…

While I specialize in Christian counseling I work with people of all beliefs and backgrounds. I’m pretty laid back and am not interested in hitting people over the head with a Bible.

Sessions with me are typically relaxed and conversational. First appointments can feel a little strange at first because you are taking a big step in meeting with a complete stranger and talking about things that you may talk about to few or no people in your life. It usually becomes less stressful as time goes on. Some sessions may be heavy dealing in difficult situations, some may be more celebratory in the gains that you have made. Sessions are collaborative and I value your feedback. I genuinely care that we are working toward your goal of feeling relief in your life.

It really depends on the situation. Some people find a few sessions to assist them in their situations. Other in-depth circumstances can take 6-8 months or longer. Some people reach one goal, and decide there is something else they would like to work on. Most clients find benefit from starting on a weekly basis and then spreading out appointments as things improve, but people lives, finances, schedules all play a role. There is no “right” answer, and it is ultimately up to you.

I offer in-person sessions for individuals (13+), couples, and families.

I offer video sessions only for individuals (13+) who are physically in the State of Washington. For video sessions you will need to be in a private, quiet space with good internet. If you are in a car you must stationary. You will also need to complete a Telehealth consent form in advance.

My rate is $150 for a 53-60min session. For insurance I accept First Choice Health Network and affiliates, Regence, Premera, Blue Cross, and Blue Shield plans. For out-of-network plans I accept payment at time of the session, and can provide a super bill receipt that you can provide to your insurance for any out-of-network coverage you might have. I accept the following payment forms: cash, check, debit, credit, and a couple additional forms of payment that the square app allows. Private pay also has the benefit of not having a medical diagnosis on your file, as well as having more agency around frequency, length, etc… regarding sessions.
