I am an adjunct faculty member at the University of Washington and keep current with the latest advances in helping individuals, couples, and families find solutions to their problems.
I use a variety of approaches ranging from cognitive reframing, exploration of defense mechanisms and automatic thoughts, training in mindfulness, bodily awareness, and examination of feelings, among others. I am interested in the ways in which we each determine our realities, what our minds say to us, and the insight that can be gained from examining those.

I work with individuals and couples in enhancing interpersonal relationships, life-transitions, personal growth, depression, anxiety, and performance enhancement (in life, work, and sports).
Sometimes life situations or past experiences create self-doubt, personal insecurities of “not being good enough,” and may even have negatively influenced how you manage life stress, relationships, and even become a barrier to achieving personal or professional goals. I want to work with you to uncover these barriers and rebuild a stronger sense of wellbeing and enhance motivation. Through the integration of Mindfulness concepts and tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we will investigate thought patterns, challenge negative patterns, remove negative judgment, and build a stronger sense of self, self-worth.

I work with adolescents and adults in individual and couples therapy, and love supporting clients with their general mental health, life transitions, personal growth, relationships, and multicultural identities.
Therapy can be the greatest tool in understanding ourselves and creating the lives we want. It is a designated time to pause and connect with ourselves and how we are truly doing. As a Marriage and Family therapist, I believe it is my job to create a safe space in which people are able to do the brave work of looking inwards and examining any parts of their lives that feel unsatisfying, and to then support them in making value-driven changes.

A connected mind, body, and relationship with others is critical in order to usher relief, joy, and pleasure into our lives and to help balance the struggles of daily life.
I am a queer relationship, individual, and sex therapist (LMFT, CST). I offer a collaborative, hands-on approach to therapy. I primarily focus on serving the LGBTQIA2+ community, women, non-binary, and genderfluid folks, those looking for increased connection in their relationships, those who want to explore their sexuality and enrich their sexual selves. I also enjoy working with folks through life transitions, creating healthy attachments, and setting boundaries. I recognize that it takes a lot of courage to start therapy. I aim to provide a space for you to feel genuinely heard and understood no matter what you are dealing with.

My goal is to reconnect you with the wisdom and depth in your life that make all problems workable. In fact, the worst symptoms and problems that we wrestle with often hold the seed for growth and transformation as a person. The focus of my work is with adults and couples. My practice is LGBTQ-affirmative and welcomes diversity of all kinds. I have two offices. One is located in the cozy, historical neighborhood of Wilburton and the other is located in Wallingford on Lake Union on houseboat Grace.

I am a licensed psychotherapist in the state of Washington. I work with adults, couples and teens who are at a place in their life where they are wanting or needing to make a change, but sometimes not sure how to go about it. My approach encourages clients to take responsibility for their lives but also helps to uncover what obstacles have gotten in the way of them feeling powerful, happy, and in charge of their direction in life.

In my work with couples, I am trained in the two empirically proven methods for success in treatment, The Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy.
As a Level 3 trained therapist in the Gottman Method and EFT, I provide couples therapy focused on repairing bonds, and strengthening connections. I also love working with couples who would like to build strong skills before their relationship is in crisis. I offer pre-marital counseling for couples wanting to start their marriage with strong skills for healthy communication. I am trained in EMDR for adult individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, and distressing life changes.

I have no ideal person who might consult me. I try hard to avoid placing people in theories. What matters is the relationship I will have with you. In collaboration, we formulate the therapy goals and how best to achieve them. Each person brings his/her own entrenched detrimental beliefs, that have blocked achieving such complex goals as satisfaction in love and in work. In therapy, I expect those beliefs to be tested. Where I intervene has more to do with fostering resilience, and with the challenging of fears/anxieties that often accompany the sense of incapacity and isolation.

I believe that we are relational beings, and that health can be cultivated in intentional, honest, and reciprocal relationships that respect and reveal our inherent dignity. Because relationships with others and ourselves hold great promise and power, they can also be the focus of most of our pain as we move through life. The therapeutic relationship we build together acts as a staging ground and microcosm to help you renew the relationships you have with yourself and others in life.
