What can I expect during my first appointment?

Typically, your first appointment with a therapist will be spent getting to know each other. Your provider will talk to you about their policies, approach to treatment, and expectations for sessions. Then they will ask questions to get to know more about your reasons for seeking treatment, your background, and your goals for therapy. Keep in mind, each provider has their own approach to intakes, and may structure your appointment differently.

Counselor

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker associate in Washington State, and I have been with Heritage NW Group since 2019. I specialize in blending mindfulness, trauma-informed care, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to create a therapeutic space where you can feel safe to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, guiding you toward healing and self-discovery. With over 15 years of experience supporting individuals facing trauma, domestic violence, ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, attachment issues, and life transitions, I am passionate about helping you connect with your authentic self. I believe therapy is a journey of embracing both the difficult and beautiful parts of life, allowing for growth and transformation. In our work together, I will create a supportive environment where we can have open conversations, resolve conflicts, and uncover patterns that no longer serve you. By tuning into your true self, we will explore healthier coping mechanisms and develop the tools to navigate life's challenges with greater ease and self-compassion. Mental health care is a fundamental part of overall health and should be available to everyone. I am committed to working with you to make your journey toward healing accessible and empowering. If you are ready to explore how therapy can help you create the life you deserve, I would be honored to walk alongside you on this path.

LMHC

Counselor

I work as a Behavioral Specialist and Mental Health Clinician, with Heritage NW Consulting, providing quality services within the state of Washington. I practiced in clinical settings for many years, it was rewarding, and I learned a great deal. I now return to the work I most enjoy, working with individuals within the community. I enjoy the fulfillment of helping others to determine goals and provide all the support to accomplish their goals. Embarking on goal-oriented actions can feel paralyzing and overly complicated. Having someone on your side can be all one needs to spring into action. I feel honored to be a part of another person's life story, as they take steps towards positive change. Work/life balance is key to being a great provider, and Heritage work promotes such balance. I enjoy living in Washington, exploring, hiking, kayaking but mostly serving within my community. A well-balanced fulfilling life.

LMHP

Counselor

I am a dedicated therapist with over 20 years of experience working with diverse populations. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals through a range of challenges, including those within the LGBTQ+ community, domestic violence survivors, and those navigating significant life changes. My passion for helping others has driven me to work in various settings, providing therapeutic support and guidance. Currently, I serve as both a therapist and a behavioral support specialist at Heritage NW Group, where I continue to offer compassionate care while utilizing my extensive background to empower individuals in their personal growth and healing. Outside of my professional work, I enjoy spending my free time gardening, exploring new cooking ideas, and drawing from my background in the arts to engage in creative pursuits. These activities bring me joy and balance, and I believe they also contribute to my ability to connect with others on a deeper level.
