Hi, I'm Chloe! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (MHC.LH.61295878) and a certified CognitiveBehavioral Therapist (CBT). I help clients unlock their true potential by learning to manage their symptoms with skillful, evidence-based tools. Although I have experience working with a wide range of presenting problems, providing individual therapy (ages 13+) and parent-coaching for Anxiety and OCD are my speciality. In addition, having ADHD myself, I also enjoy helping individuals who want to work on issues related to ADHD.
Therapeutic Approach
I value building a supportive and collaborative therapeutic alliance, taking time to truly understand each individual's unique strengths and needs. I integrate use of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy, Inference-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT), and Mindfulness and Compassion Stress reduction. I view my role as the therapist to be the cultivator of a safe space for growth; a provider of science and education on the thought, feeling, and behavioral processes associated with presenting symptoms; an advocate for the unique needs of the client; a model and coach for optimizing skill development and mastering symptom management; and a collaborator for troubleshooting problems together and developing a strategic solution. Through a gradual and supportive approach, I empower clients to face their fears and lean into the discomfort of uncertainty. With trust, willingness to confront fears, and compassion, I help clients change how they experience their symptoms in a way that frees them to live the life they want to live.

I have worked closely with youth and families over the past 10 years through various roles as a coach, educator, and most current as a mental health therapist. I earned my Masters of Applied Child and Adolescent Psychology from the University of Washington. While earning my masters, I spent a year working in communal mental health settings delivering evidence-based outpatient interventions to youth and their families. Upon graduating from UW, I worked for over a year as a OCD and Anxiety Family therapist at Rogers Behavioral health. Along with working directly with individuals and families, I have been an active research assistance for a child development and behavioral research lab at Washington State University.

One thing I always like to tell my clients is this - happiness is a myth! Though the experience of happiness itself is a very real thing, the image of what most people are striving for is not. The idea that one can be problem free, no anxieties, just pure joy, and always full of energy, unfazed by lifes stressors, and absent of insecurities ** are common misconception of what it takes to achieve true happiness. Not surprisingly, this leaves many feeling defeated by the inability to fulfill this unrealistic expectation, and stuck in the cycle of their symptoms as a bi-product. true happiness is embracing reality as it is, welcoming each emotional experience with understanding, having confidence in the ability to adapt , and riding the waves of life challenges with ** as apposed to swimming against it. These are the values Ebb and Flow are built off of. You can achieve the things in life you envision and you may already be closer to it than you think.
