Holistic Mental Health Therapy, PLLC was created after I completed my a BA in Social Welfare, June 2013, and an Advanced Standing one year Master’s Degree in Social Work with a concentration in mental health studies in June of 2020. Due to COVID I choose to start my work as a therapist with my own private practice. I have a history of working in the medical field as a caregiver, medical assistant, and as a volunteer for the Statewide Health Insurance Advisors, and the MS Society before starting my career in Social Work. I have worked with nonprofit organizations providing resources for seniors and people with disabilities from King county and Snohomish county.

Mental Health Training

I have studied evidence based practice in: eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, motivation interviewing, cognitive behavior therapy, dialectic behavioral therapy, solution focused brief therapy, Gottman couples therapy, and psychotherapy. I use holistic person centered mindful therapy as the core for all treatment modalities. I work with a social justice, feminist, queer perspective that self acceptance and positive affirmations are important to starting therapeutic treatment. I studied: addiction recovery, the history and practice of meditation, and I promote physical and mental health disability recovery and management skills. Sessions are conducted with groups, relationships (2 to 4 persons), and individual therapy for treatment and diagnosis of mental health conditions with guidance of DSM 5.
