About me

Welcome! I am a mental health counselor licensed in Washington State. I've worked with adult clients for over 15 years, in private practice and other clinical settings (agencies, medical clinics). I often work with client concerns of anxiety, life transitions, relationships, and grief and loss. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy: the idea that our feelings and actions are driven by our thoughts.

When we become overwhelmed, we can lose sight of our own sense of self; therapy is an opportunity to gain perspective about you and your world. Our work together will be about identifying your struggles, strengths, and goals; then applying solutions that are useful and practical to you.

You already possess a wisdom about yourself that will make itself known in our sessions. I encourage you to be curious; it’s the most immediate path to success!

Bruce is a great therapist. He listens to everything you have to say with no judgement and gives great advise and strategies on how to manage your emotions. He's also very blunt and direct which is a huge thing for me. Very understanding of all of my issues and had great ideas on how to manage them.

Bruce, for me, is GREAT. He cuts through to basic things; generally nails it on the head.
He presents as keenly interested and very engaged.
I suspect that's his years of experience.

Over the course of my therapy with Dr. Bruce, I was always reassured and confident in his abilities and professional expertise as a therapist. He is great at listening and endeavoring to understand whatever issue may arise before providing his input, questions, or reflections. There were often times when I would be struggling with verbalizing something, and he would invite me to take my time and analyze that inside the present moment. I appreciated his transparency in working together to understand my thoughts, and I grew to realize I could be fully comfortable and myself in our sessions. He respected my experiences and asked me to correct him if he ever assumed something falsely, which was a very meaningful demonstration of this respect. With his support, I grew so much and gained the skills to continue to navigate the ups and downs of my journey on my own. I felt truly heard and encouraged to find and take hold of my space in the world, including my internal world. I'm so grateful I was matched with him at this time, and for my experience on BetterHelp.

I've worked with Bruce for several months, and have found intense improvement in my mental and even physical health. Bruce is compassionate, understanding, and extremely good at helping identify patterns of survival found in childhood trauma. Highly recommend!

Bruce was able to quickly grasp what I needed from therapy and suggest easy, tangible things I could do. Great demeanor and responsiveness!

Bruce has been an excellent therapist to me and has helped me through some tough times. He has help me tackle personal trauma within our sessions and help supplied some tools that allowed me to step outside of the sessions and do work into myself as well.
