I've lived in the PNW for 25 years via Miami and originally, from New York City. I received a BFA from the Rochester Institute of Technology and worked as a professional photographer. In Seattle, I worked for Microsoft and lead self-actualization seminars before earning a Masters in Existential Psychology from Seattle University, I practice Existential Integrative therapy and study mindfulness and eastern philosophy. I'm interested in the ways these converge, how people construct meaning and how clients use this capacity to generate self-awareness and walk a new pathway forward. I'm currently a Ph.D. student of Integral Psychology.

I am a clinician who strongly believes in the importance of authentic human connection and a feeling of belonging. In today's world, it can feel isolating in both physical & emotional ways, sometimes resulting in unfamiliar/uncomfortable feelings. The good news is that those feelings don't have to be permanent and you are capable of learning coping skills to manage them. My background includes working with diverse populations and age ranges. From those experiences, I draw from a person centered, strength based perspective. I strive to honor who you are, where you've been and what experiences have helped to shape you.

I enjoy my work with children, adolescents and families, and have been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor since 2005. I employ a variety of theoretical orientations and modalities, from attachment theories, family systems, object relations, cognitive behavioral therapy, and play and art therapy. Theory gives us a foundation to conceptualize, but it is the individual, context, and culture which inform our work.

I believe a commitment to therapy is a commitment to oneself. It is very powerful to commit to grow and change in ways that increase a sense of personal satisfaction with one's life. I work with individuals who want to resolve issues of unrest, dissatisfaction or distress that recur in their lives. I believe as clients learn to increase their trust in themselves they can better trust others and better direct their lives.This work involves coming to a better understanding of the influence of past experiences, as well as present influences, and may include exploring deeper spiritual isssues.

It's never easy to find a therapist and if you were like me and grew up in a family that discouraged therapy or talking about mental health in general, it can be especially intimidating to even look for a therapist. By looking into therapy, you have taken an important step towards living the life that you want. I find that the counseling relationship is most effective when it is highly collaborative and specific to the person. I will work with you to find areas of struggle in your life, identify patterns that have been present in your past, and work towards the goals you have for yourself present day.

To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides, (D. Viscott). We seek to love and be loved. Most people find greater peace when they can feel meaning in their lives-at work, in relationships, and within their community. Yet, life's twists and turns, marked by unmet promises and difficulties, can lead to frustration, confusion, and little hope. If you feel like a stranger in you own life, consider what an informed, educated, and experienced perspective might offer. I help curious and ambitious souls who wish to thrive.

My practice is comprised of individuals and couples. I see adults, adolescents, and children who are managing a range of issues from anxiety and depression, to relationship issues, to trauma. The couples I work with are often struggling with feeling disconnected and unheard by their partner and are seeking help to regain connection in their relationship that has been compromised or lost over time.

I believe one of the most important things in life is a fulfilling relationship.

As a specialist in couples therapy, my goal is helping you experience more fulfilling communication, connection, and intimacy with each other.

When parts of our life, personality, relationships, or behaviors seem stuck, “out of control”, or in-congruent with who we feel we are, it is often a result of unexpressed feelings. We will take focused time together to understand the meaning that has been made out of the pain you've experienced.

My therapeutic orientation is psychodynamic in nature, and based on the observation that people are often unaware of unconscious influences that determine their thoughts and actions. Lack of awareness can often lead to behavior that constrains their ability to fully comprehend or work through the difficulties they are facing. My hope is to help remove problematic symptoms that prohibit individuals from participating in meaningful relationships with themselves and others, while working toward leading a full and productive life as an active and positive contributor to their community.
