More about Bruce
- 15 years' experience
- Male
- LMHC
Welcome! I am a mental health counselor licensed in Washington State. I've worked with adult clients for over 10 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!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Very helpful therapist
Bruce has been very helpful. I have had so many challenging things recently pop up that have been a struggle. As well as some items that have required time and tools to better identify how to face them. Bruce has been able to help me better than I even hoped going into this process. He has been extremely patient, supportive, and very easy to communicate with. I appreciate his help immensely.
Bruce is great!
Excellent !
Bruce is the best therapist I’ve ever had. I feel very understood. He has a talent for reading between the lines to help find meaningful help for varying situations
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.
Bruce has been instrumental in helping me discover ways to work through my CPTSD and stress.
Bruce has been great and very helpful. He responds in a timely matter and has some great advice.
Bruce was a good listener, helpful, and honest about what he thought he could offer, what he thought might be helpful, and what he thought I should bring to therapy sessions to get the most out of it. I would recommend his services to others.
Bruce is great and matches my therapy style very well.
Very good listener. Very good at helping you understand your feelings and behaviors.
Bruce is amazing. He is a great listener and thoughtfully responds to all of my concerns. He helps me navigate my thoughts and gives me direction and insight so that I can use what I learn from our sessions in a healthy and productive way.
Bruce is an amazing therapist, he let me take charge of my session when I got covid so if I needed to stop early I could. He gives great advice and listens. I’m glad to be working with him on my issues at hand
Bruce has been an essential person in my mental health journey. He's been fantastic for helping me look for the Yes in my life.
Bruce is doing a great job helping me. He listens and is helpful but without being coddling. I appreciate our conversations.
Bruce is an incredibly intelligent individual who listens intently, is able to discern the underlying issues that may seem out of your grasp, and puts feelings and concerns into words that offer a sense of profound relief.
Bruce and I have been working together for a little over a year. I feel supported and heard by Bruce and really appreciate the kindness and energy he has put into our sessions. I feel more capable and confident looking inward at my feelings and sharing those with others as a result of my work with Bruce.
I appreciate his help and professionalism in the short time we had! Wonderful listener the only one I could talk to about this and can’t believe what the meant!

Bruce is a good listener and offers practical solutions.
Bruce is a kind and attentive man, who genuinely cares about me as a client and seems very engaged in his work. This is someone who isn't burned out, somehow, and can be positive to work with and still able to point work areas out in a way that is helpful.
Bruce is caring and responsive. He is skilled in facilitation of ideas and strategies that have helped me greatly. He listens and draws on notes from past meetings to show growth or to highlight important points. I am thankful for our work together and would highly recommend Bruce to anyone needing support.
Bruce is incredibly professional and kind. He listens with compassion and an eagerness to understand. The questions he asks me have helped me to look within and to begin to better understand where I am at now, how I got here, and where I hope to see myself. I would highly recommend giving Bruce a chance and look forward to speaking with him every session.
Bruce is empathetic, kind and constructive. I like the way he reframes what I say to him and gives me perspective. He is responsive and always has good notes and reflections about what we are working on together.
I’ve gotten lots of value from my time with Bruce. 5/5 would get helped again :)
I've had a wonderful experience with Bruce! He's great at listening and helping me process my concerns in a productive manner.
Bruce is knowledgeable, empathetic and innovative with his interpretations. I appreciate his follow-through and the reflection opportunities he offers.
I did not have a great experience with my previous counselor, however Bruce gave me confidence in counseling. He listens carefully and analyzes what I say. He also offers different ways of thinking and always has a takeaway during my weekly sessions.
Consistent with his efforts to get a hold of me and my busy schedule. Is very present and supportive!
Bruce is an amazing therapist. We've only had a couple of sessions so far, but his insights and advice really helped me through what's going on.
