Most problems have a solution, most illnesses are treatable. Change begins with a first step toward doing things differently than you have done them before. I believe the purpose of therapy is ultimately not to be in therapy and to aquire new skills to support positive change. I am not a therapist who will sit back quietly, nod and give you an occassional 'Uh-huh'. I have Master's degrees in both Counseling and Nursing. I work in the ER at Harborview, at my office practice and with the psychiatric needs of older adults and people with severe head injuries.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy, coaching, coupled with solution focused therapies are main modalities in my work with clients. I come from a very evidence based approach with use of medications. Catch more information on ADD/ADHD on iTunes and look for The Stimulus Driven Brain for pod casts
I prescribe medications and have specialties in Depression,Anxiety, BAD and ADD/ADHD. I like behavioral medicine as a first line or as a complement to use of medications. I am on most insurance plans and take a limited number of sliding fee scale clients.
