In-Network with Aetna and Premera -- Accepting New Clients! Evening appointments available. I work with children, adolescents, adults and couples. In my counseling work, my starting point is a strength-based, client-focused approach to understand you as an individual, as well as the strengths you have to positively change your situation. (I know we don't always feel these strengths. I think we typically are more hurt than we show, and we are also not as broken as we feel.) My focus has been to sit and listen with an open mind so I can best learn about you and your life.

If you or your child has been struggling and is new to therapy, or has been through therapy and new concerns arise, a psychological assessment may be an appropriate next step.
Self-awareness and self-understanding are important for success in the therapeutic journey. A thorough, strength-based, and holistic psychological assessment can provide young people and their families with much desired clarity, validation, and direction. A psychological assessment can inform school-based and academic intervention, psychological treatment, and pharmacological intervention as needed. Many families have youth who have struggled through school, are overwhelmed by stress, and/or have had interpersonal conflict. I help families make sense of their child or teen's unique circumstances and get them the right support.
