The focus of Complete Counseling is to serve clients with a variety of mental health concerns. We are focused on finding the right fit for each one of our clients. Feel free to look through our variety of counselors with different specialties that will meet your need.

We want our clients to feel heard and gain the skills to make a change and re-enter their life with confidence.

As a neurodiversity-affirming therapist, I use an integrative and holistic approach to therapy. Incorporating multiple trauma-informed modalities that work best for my clients yet focusing on and highlighting strengths-based, client-centered approaches. I work with clients identifying as neurodivergent, ADHD, Autism, as well as clients experiencing anxiety, and depression. I practice trauma-informed care, focusing on the individual, their goals, and their voice-leading treatment plans and incorporating a growth and solution-focused mindset. I believe in utilizing a collaborative approach to help clients achieve their goals.

Experiencing anxiety, depression, grief/loss, or a reduction in concentration/focus?Perhaps communication breakdown? It's not a matter of "if", but "when" adversity will come to test your commitment to growth, and I am here to offer a skill-based action-oriented approach with measurable results (not your typical talk therapy).

Like a seed that holds within itself the wisdom of an entire tree, I firmly believe that we each, at our core, carry our own innate wisdom meant to guide us in our journey and help us thrive. Life is imperfect, though, and there are storms that come without warning, unexpected turns, and uncharted crossroads. We may find ourselves confused, restless, disconnected, overwhelmed with fear, with anger, or sorrow. We may feel empty, lost, maybe even hopeless. In the noise of all that is going on around us, or in the deafening silence, it can be difficult to hear that wise inner voice of ours that always knows the best way forward.

Growing and learning never stops. If we are struggling with our daily living and need that acknowledgment, motivation or maybe feel that we are lonely in the process. Let's work together in discovering the best part of you.

I enjoy working with people who are genuinely interested in developing insight and fostering change—whether they are families, couples, or individuals. As a systems therapist, I balance the belief that we have all been shaped by the lives we have lived with the knowledge that everyone is capable of growth and change. I view each client in the context of their family, their environment, and their community because I know that each of these components impacts their experience.

EMDR trauma practitioner. Combining Traditional and Holistic Care - Integrating the mind, body and spirit, is drawing from our own inner resources to bring healing to all areas of our lives. We can release limited beliefs that keep us stuck, release cellular memories of past trauma's, create healthy shifts in behavioral patterns, nurture loving relationships, improve our physical health and live a conscious and empowered life. In my practice, I blend EMDR (Trauma releasing technique) with Visualization, Cognitive Behavioral interweaves, and Cellular Memory release techniques. Trained in intensive Grief Therapy.

Are you looking for support around making changes in your life or gaining some personal insight? Or are you interested in improving your general sense of wellbeing? Maybe you have run in to barriers to acheiving goals in some area of your life such as your health, or relationships? Or perhaps you just feel stuck. If so, I can help. We all experience struggle at times. Entering therapy can be the first step in a process of gaining better understanding of yourself and the thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that may be preventing you from living the life that you want to live.

My professional orientation is very eclectic. I combine a Jungian philosophy with CBT and DBT interventions with a client centered approach that involves a caring and insightful focus on self, others and community. My intention is to collaborate fully with each individual and to assist him or her in changing the trajectory of his or her life in a positive way. I view self discovery as an essential part of our unfolding experience together and value our time together. To become an agent of change in one's own life takes tremendous courage and strength; I can help facilitate this.

You want to be the best for everyone around you, but you don’t know who you are anymore, feeling like you’ve lost yourself. You overperform to feel safe and stable, but it’s exhausting. The coping skills that used to work don’t work anymore. The stress and anxiety have become overwhelming. You’re scared of your feelings because they are just too much and the negative thoughts won't stop. You blame yourself, feeling like a failure. You shut down and disconnect from others, which makes you feel even worse about yourself.

Making the decision to seek therapy is a powerful moment in your life, and finding the right therapist is the next step on that path. I see my role as a partner and witness in your exploration of what being a whole person means to you. Anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues or a general feeling of being "stuck" are just some of the possible issues that might bring you to therapy. Regardless of the reason you may choose to work with me, you can expect to find a place of acceptance in which to share your authentic self.

Do you sometimes feel that you aren't good enough? Are you frustrated that things in your life aren't working out and you don't know why? Maybe you have felt sad, anxious or overwhelmed. Your relationship(s) isn't what you want... you don't feel heard/seen. Perhaps you feel isolated or want a deeper connection with those in your life. Has there been trauma in your life or maybe something happened that you weren't prepared to deal with at the time and it left a mark? Struggling with guilt or shame? What would it be like to wake up and love the life that you were in? What would need to change?

Please be you. Maybe you don't know who that it is. Or you do––and you're not a fan. Either way, you deserve to be the proud narrator of your own life story. As a gay man, I'm all too familiar with masking for social and romantic success. Low self-esteem, social anxiety, and addiction issues are common results when you dislike the sound of your voice. Together, we can bring your inner voice out. I like to use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) in offering you tangible tools that act as rose-colored goggles. For who you are today. Let's work on characterization and plot. And let's give your life story a rewrite, if necessary.

As a clinician, I believe therapy looks different for everyone and there is no 'one-size fits most' approach. Therapy should be client-centered, strengths-based, trauma-informed, and focused on what you hope to get out each session. I believe in meeting my clients where they are and develop an individualized treatment plan with each client. In sessions, I utilize a variety of interventions, including evidence based approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

I work with clients who are dealing with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, challenges with self-worth and unhelpful thinking, trauma, PTSD, relationships and feeling stuck. I help clients realize their innate wisdom, achieve their goals - whatever they may be, and find new ways of being in a world that is constantly full of challenges. I also work with parents who are struggling with their roles as parents, dealing with guilt and shame that oftentimes comes with parenting and help to find positive solutions with childrearing.

Currently full but can help match Deaf people to therapists. My approach is integrative and primarily informed by EMDR therapy. I prioritize remaining person-centered and trauma informed, which basically just means that our sessions are about you and what you want and that I avoid pathologizing behaviors and feelings that could be the result of a traumatic experience. I look at therapy through a social justice and anti-oppression lens. I believe counseling should offer a safe, non-judgmental opportunity to explore and discover a path to your own place of peace. For Deaf people, my VP # is (206) 829-5104.

I work in areas of anxiety, depression, challenging relationships and difficult family relationships, parental trauma, ADHD, life transitions, work stress, grief, parent coaching, infertility, developing healthy relationships and coping skills. I focus on the client's strengths while also directing attention to those behaviors and thoughts that hold people back from achieving their goals. My aim is to provide a warm and nurturing environment where together we can work through and address your personal challenges, develop an understanding of the impact life experiences have on behavior and mood.

You are here because something needs to change for you or a loved one. Maybe there's a gap between what you logically understand and what you emotionally 'know' to be true that feels impossible to bridge. You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, addiction--to a substance or a behavior. You might be looking for skills to cope with life's challenges--managing emotions, healthy communication, and organization. You might be looking for relief from painful events that still effect your day to day life. You deserve to be happy, to take care of yourself and your loved ones, and to feel safe.

Are you experiencing depression, anxiety, fears, anger, relationship, or family problems? Has balancing personal life and work become too much? These are all examples of our response to stress. Some people are dealing with everyday stressors and others bring traumatic experiences into the mix. When trauma collides with stress, life becomes challenging. Addressing these issues is both rewarding and scary. With compassion/humor I work with each person at their starting point and on the issues they bring. I see myself as the Sherpa who holds the lights and other tools to help make the path safe for you.
