Sometimes we just need someone who will listen. Clients that do well with me are hoping to change and are willing to try something new. The same is true for children who do well.Trust your gut. Research shows that when the client feels "good" about the counselor, that feeling is a strong indicators that a counselor will be helpful for the client. I do my best to honor the courage and vulnerability it takes to seek help.
I am a Child Mental Health Specialist and my training is in working with adults (rather than couples or families). I often teach new skills (i.e. breathing exercises, mindful anxiety reduction, awareness of thoughts and emotions), provide information, and talk with clients about past difficult issues in their lives.
Con mucho gusto ofrezco mis servicios de consejera a Ud. y a su familia.Trabajo con padres de familia, con mujeres buscando como lidiar con muchos retos de la vida diaria, y con adolescentes y chicos. Proveo servicios de terapia individual y de grupo en mi oficina en Shelton, WA.
