Beginning the exploration of your thoughts, feelings and behaviors is a courageous challenge. I view people as experts in their own lives who sometimes need assistance in shedding light on what may be getting in the way of achieving wholeness, and wellness. Being able to begin this journey in an atmosphere of non-judgement and understanding can help recognize what you already know, and areas of necessary growth. I have experience with depression. anxiety, grief/loss, and trauma/PTSD. I am a seasoned clinician that has aided people over the years in attaining their mental health goals.

I am a clinical psychologist in private practice in Redmond, Washington, working with older children, adolescents, and adults. I believe that the greatest benefit can be gained by having an understanding of yourself and the ways that your relationships affect you. With this in mind, my goal is to use our relationship to shed light on how interactions, both past and present, play a part in who you are.

You're used to handling responsibility. You know life is what you make of it and you normally feel pretty optimistic and accomplished. But lately you find yourself off-balance. You may regret things you've said or done because there was no time to really sort out the best path. BEFORE you cut off important foundation pieces- your marriage, career, activities and people you've loved that feel like they no longer fit, see me and together let's make sure they're not part of your protective alarm system, begging for perspective and healthier personal balance.

While many may hope to attain a quick solution to their struggles through the work of therapy, it is my ultimate goal that the psychological treatment facilitates healing through meaningful self-discovery. As a therapist, I strive to be a witness to stories you may have never told anyone before, including yourself. Every part of your life presents its own uniqueness and complexity. I believe that the inherent safety and trust found within the therapeutic relationship are paramount as therapist and patient embark on this exploration of your past and present experiences.

I believe people change when they are truly ready and searching for a counselor is the first step towards making the changes you desire. I want you to feel progress as quickly as possible and I believe my job as a clinician is to help you develop a closer relationship with yourself so that you will be more in tune with how difficulties in your life develop and impact your well being. We will work together in a safe and non-judgmental environment to develop goals, increase personal awareness, and reduce distress so that life becomes more manageable and fulfilling.

I am currently unable to accept new clients. Stress is a normal part of life, but when we don't feel we have the resources to handle it, it can become distress . Sometimes we just need someone to walk alongside us through a rough patch, or face a major change or unexpected circumstances that surprise and overwhelm us. Other times, the burden of anxiety or depression can be too much to carry alone. Hope and healing is possible in a safe, accepting environment. I work with individuals, couples and families to resolve conflict, address boundaries and identity issues, navigate life transitions, and restore relationships.

I believe a strong connection built on trust is at the heart of therapy and life coaching and that this is more likely to help lead you towards recovery, personal growth and achievement of your therapeutic goals and successful outcomes in your life. Through dialogue and collaborative spirit we will work together to identify goals that can help you to a more rewarding life experience.

I have 30 years of experience helping clients to identify and heal the sources of discomfort that bring them to counseling.

I have extensive experience working with late teens and adults, both men and women. My practice includes individuals and couples work which also includes the LGBTQ community.

Help for adolescents and adults. Our attempts to connect with others or express our fears and worries are often met with criticism or a "let's fix it and move on" attitude. It is normal to feel shame and fear, frustration, anger, and at times stuck. In therapy I give you the space to freely speak, be heard, and sit with an idea, thought, or feeling at your own pace. I will give you practical assistance for the challenges you are facing.

I help people deal with painful thoughts, feelings, and symptoms that get in the way of living satisfying lives.

I am a psychotherapist trained in systems theory. I have a master's degree in Applied Behavioral Science - Systems Counseling from the Leadership Institute of Seattle (LIOS) at Bastyr University. Systems counseling embraces each client as an individual living system. It examines how clients' memberships in other living systems (such as family, friends, co-workers, partnerships, etc.) interrelate, influence, and impact each other.

I have worked with children, adolescents, adults and families for over 30 years. The decision to enter counseling is often a difficult one, but the rewards from a positive and productive experience are abundant. There are challenges at every stage of life that are difficult to manage without support and good information. My goal is to help every client discover what will work best for their situation in the most efficient and respectful process possible. All of us function best when we know what we want and manage our behavior to reach those goals. Good therapy is worth the investment.

How we experience our emotions, feelings, and thoughts has a profound impact on how we approach life. I will show you a way to break free from anxiety's control so you're better able to take steps toward the life you want.
