In Person Therapists in Snohomish County, WA

Life can be difficult, painful, wonderful, confusing, and more. As a therapist it is my goal to provide space in this complicated world for people to feel seen and heard, learn about their difficulties and create positive change. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. I am most interested in helping clients understand how environmental dynamics of past and present have come to impact a person, then learn to shift from unhelpful to more helpful patterns of living. Those I have worked with often tell me that I am honest, caring, silly, and “down to Earth”.

My approach is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I can help you to feel heard and understood and to connect with your strengths and authenticity.

I offer guidance in working with dreams and active imagination for those wanting to explore the depths in this way. I enjoy supporting clients to get unstuck, develop self-love and confidence, to live the life they want to live.
