I work in an interactive style to address your individual concerns such as anxiety or depression, or relationship concerns such as connection and intimacy, conflict, or life transitions.
I specialize in helping couples rebuild the lost or injured connection in their relationships. I help you identify and understand the interaction patterns that are hurting your relationship and help you create new patterns that develop greater emotional connection. I use a method that is effective and proven to have lasting results. Common issues addressed in couple's therapy are a lack of intimacy and closeness, affairs, differences regarding money, parenting, work/life balance concerns, and feeling alone in the relationship.

My integrated approach touches on the couple’s internal systems that includes the seat of consciousness, the Self, and their protective and wounded younger parts that get triggered causing confusion and chaos within the relationship.
I am a WA state licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience. In working with couples, I integrate three evidence-based approaches that include Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, Internal Family Systems Couple Therapy, and Gottman Method Couple Therapy. My integrated approach touches on attachment needs and fears. Fear of rejection and abandonment while longing for connection. The emotional disconnection leads to a pattern of push and pull in a couple’s predictable negative cycle of interaction.

Special interests include: loneliness, anxiety/panic, technology and relationship, and emotionally charged/distant couples.
Reaching out for help isn't easy. We're afraid people will judge us if they find out how messed up we really are. We judge ourselves for not being strong enough to fix our own problems in the first place. So we start pretending. We pretend to be happier than we are, more successful than we are, stronger than we are. We get pretty good at it too. So good in fact that the pretending parts begin to take over and the real parts start to fade away. That's where the trouble begins and where I can help.

I work with individual adults on a wide range of emotional issues, and have extensive experience in the areas of depression and anxiety, trauma, loss and bereavement, medical issues, relationship difficulties, and adjustment to parenting.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist and have been working as a psychotherapist for over 25 years. My orientation is psychodynamic and relational, which means that I view psychotherapy as a collaboration between therapist and client focused on exploring thoughts and feelings as they emerge in the context of a therapeutic relationship. Ultimately, successful psychotherapy may alleviate suffering, increase self-awareness, help one enjoy a broader range of emotional experience, and enhance one's ability to engage more fully in relationships with others.

Like many others, we seek help when faced with a problem that impacts our relationships, social or workplace setting. By understanding past experiences, people are better able to place their present behavior within a perspective that allows for change.

I have been working with individuals and couples since 1978. I love what I do and I believe my clients know it. I also believe they feel the respect I have for them. I know it takes courage to ask for help, especially when feeling vulnerable. All of us, at some point, experience painful life circumstances or relationship difficulties--usually accompanied by symptoms of depression and/or anxiety. At times we know our lives are not what they could be, but in spite of all our best efforts we may feel stuck.

I work with parents and adults experiencing family & relationship issues, and anxiety.
When did life become a monotonous routine, leaving you emotionally drained and feeling unfulfilled? You long for deeper connections and meaningful relationships, but that’s overshadowed by disappointment or isolation. You’re repeating the same patterns, preventing yourself from experiencing what you deserve. As a parent, you feel like you’re always falling short. Making the smallest decision leaves you overwhelmed and second guessing yourself. Relationships can bring immense joy, but also have the ability to become so draining. They can cause an overwhelming amount of stress and make you question your own self-worth and judgment.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
