My initial training was in family therapy, and I later completed Seattle's first ever child therapy program.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (with a doctorate from Columbia University) with over 40 years of practice experience with children, families, couples, and adults. My approach to our work is "psychodynamic" and I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship. I am open to consultation, crisis intervention, short term therapy, and more intensive, insight oriented treatment. The "ideal client" is the one who is willing to work hard. So am I!

In my work with children, I utilize play therapy, as children usually do not express their feelings directly but do so figuratively though their play.
I have over 20 years of experience providing therapy and support to those who struggle with depression, anxiety, interpersonal and family conflicts, job related stress, behavioral issues in children, parenting concerns and the impact of trauma, illness and life transitions. I am particularly interested in supporting families in their relationships with one another and I believe in encouraging choices that are nurturing to all family members.

Maybe you’re a parent worried about being “good enough,” whether your child’s behavior is “normal”, whether they are safe. Maybe you’re a teenager, feeling heartbroken over a friendship, unsure of who you are in the world, anxious about school tomorrow. Whether you're a kid (0-12yo), teenager (13-19yo), or parent, I think I can help. You have known you, and/or your child, your entire life — you are the expert in you. What I bring is expertise in pediatric evidence-based interventions. My hope is that together, we can create a context that feels safe to explore new patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that improve your life.

My doctoral research addressed child abuse and mothering behavior; I learned a lot about how to support parents in becoming the parent they would like to be! I really enjoy seeing parents learn how to provide what their children need, and the pride and new confidence they experience when they're successful.

If you need emotional healing, to develop life skills, or (re-)discover the joy of living, I believe I can help. I have 40 years of experience working with children and families, often where abuse has been involved, and have helped hundreds of individuals recover from a variety of traumas in their lives, from abuse to car accidents to the death of a loved one. I believe in the power of the individual always to grow toward health.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Washington provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.
Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time (likely in fewer than six sessions), the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.
The best child therapists in Washington build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
