Hello and welcome! It’s a pleasure to have you here. My name is Jerry, and I am thrilled to introduce myself as your counselor. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Washington state, I bring a wealth of experience and a genuine passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. With a background of serving in the Military for 26 years, I understand firsthand the unique struggles and experiences that those who serve under oath deal with. This has given me a deep appreciation for the sacrifices you have made and the resilience you possess. I consider it a true gift to be able to work with individuals from these backgrounds. My approach to therapy is solution-focused, meaning that we will work collaboratively to identify your goals and develop practical strategies to help you achieve them. I believe in the power of positivity and believe that each individual has the strength within themselves to enact positive change in their lives. Regardless of your background, I am here to support you throughout your therapeutic journey. Whether you’re seeking assistance with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or any other concerns, I am committed to providing a safe and nonjudgmental space for you to explore and grow. As a Christian, I am open to incorporating spirituality into our sessions if that aligns with your beliefs and values. However, please know that I respect and honor all faiths, and my focus will always be on supporting your unique needs and preferences. I am truly excited to embark on this therapeutic journey with you, and I look forward to helping you discover the tools and insights that will empower you to live a more fulfilling and balanced life. Remember, you’re not alone in this journey, and together we can find the solutions that work best for you. I am licensed in Washington with 6 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, anger management, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & career difficulties. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
