About Paul

I am licensed mental health counselor (LMHC, MC 60551117) in the state of Washington. I work predominantly with clients who are young adults through late adulthood who are seeking assistance in areas of identity, relational struggles, trauma, sexual abuse, depression and life transition difficulties.

After spending over four years serving in a Christian ministry context as a youth pastor, my wife and I spent a year serving as Peace Corps volunteers in Guyana, South America where I worked as a community health volunteer. Upon my return from South America, we moved to Seattle where I completed Masters degrees in Theology & Culture and in Counseling Psychology from The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology.

I have since become passionate about learning, helping others heal from complex trauma and abuse, and am continually curious about the intersection of faith and our emotional well-being. To this end I have completed a post-graduate externship with The Allender Center where I now serve as an fellow.

I call the PNW home. I love the trees, the lusciousness the rain brings, and the pace of life. In my free time I love to hike, garden, play with my family and watch english premier league football.

I specialize in working with…

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Marital conflict or tension
  • Abuse: sexual, emotional, and physical
  • Issues of spirituality
  • Questions of sexuality, and sexual identity
  • Vocation and occupational exploration
