      <image:title>Home - My Approach</image:title>
      <image:caption>My approach to counseling draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment-based work, and Adlerian principles—all of which help us understand how your thoughts, relationships, and early experiences shape who you are today. I also believe that true mental health goes beyond any single theory. That’s why I take a holistic view of wellness—one that considers your emotional, relational, spiritual, medical, and behavioral needs. When we look at the whole person—not just the symptoms—we create space for deeper healing and lasting change. Whether you are seeking anxiety therapy, trauma counseling, or couples counseling in Bellingham, WA, our work together will focus on understanding patterns, building insight, and creating meaningful, sustainable change. Counseling is not one-size-fits-all. The approach we take will not only reflect my clinical training but will also honor you—your unique story, strengths, and goals. Together, we will find a path that feels supportive, authentic, and effective for you.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - My Promise</image:title>
      <image:caption>My promise to you is simple: I will create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can truly be yourself. I will show up with an open heart, remain fully present, and listen deeply to your experiences. If you are looking for counseling in Bellingham or Whatcom County, I am here to support you. Together, we will move at your pace, working through the obstacles that have been holding you back so you can step into a life that feels more grounded, peaceful, and aligned with your values. I am here to help you recognize the strengths that already live within you and support you as you build on them—so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and a deeper sense of fulfillment.</image:caption>
