"Welcome everyone! I work with youth, individuals, couples and families. My areas of specialty include Depression, Anxiety, Current or Past Abuse, Gender Identity Issues, Internalized Oppression (of all forms), Substance Abuse and overall lapses in happiness. Sitting with you I am attuned to how sensitive our social identities contribute to how we feel. I believe we all have a story to tell which is unique and personal. It is my role to bring Hope, Compassion, Respect & Knowledge to our time together."

"Undergoing intensive psychodynamic psychotherapy is deeply personal. For many individuals, this adventure into unknown recesses of their psyches reveals personal vistas previously unimagined. Such exploration frequently involves painful disclosures, frightening discoveries, an extraordinary development of self-understanding, an increase in capacity for intimate sharing, and an integration of strengths and aspirations. Such a journey, with phases of both pain and exhilaration, usually takes place over an extended period."

"I specialize in individual, couples and family therapy. I often address issues relating to anxiety, depression, self worth and how a physical/mental disability may affect your perception of yourself in the world. I provide a safe, nurturing place to validate your feelings and look at what may/or may not be serving you to be your best self. My commitment is to you, believing in you and working at your pace to ensure a more positive journey in this (often times) challenging world. I have currently added a unique twist to my practice by offering in-home therapy to new moms, families or anyone that has difficulties with transportation. "

"We all encounter situations that feel overwhelming and test our coping abilities. I see therapy as a collaborative process that will help you navigate the challenges and transitions that life presents. I offer a safe, supportive environment to talk about issues that can be difficult to discuss elsewhere. Together we will explore how certain thoughts, behavior patterns, and past experiences might be contributing to your difficulties. We will identify your strengths and figure out effective coping strategies to create positive changes in your life. I work with adults, adolescents, children, and couples."

"You've overcome a lot already in your life. The people in your life consider you successful and admire how far you've come. You are a "pattern changer" in your family of origin. But you are ready for even more ease and joy. My clients are smart and successful and want to integrate deeper calm, clarity and courage into their lives. They have a lot of insight, but still struggle with making changes or feeling as good as they can. Let me help you to remember and accentuate your inner wisdom and resilience."

"Your decision to enter the process of therapy is an act of trust that I take seriously and respectfully. I've had the privilege of assisting women, men, couples and youth as they work through the variety of experiences and challenges that make us human. Although I was initially trained in psychodynamic and attachment theory, we may incorporate any of several clinical approaches. What suits the client's needs and preferences is key. Together, we create a supportive atmosphere where what matters to the client can be expressed and explored. More satisfying and effective ways of moving forward can be nurtured."

"Therapy is a powerful vehicle for self exploration and discovery. Each of us have a story to tell and therapy can offer creative ways to help you understand your stories, your self, and your relationships in a new lens. My approach provides clients with the opportunity to draw on the connections and patterns between the past and present. In deepening our awareness, we are given the power to break the patterns that no longer serve us. From a place of collaboration and warmth, I will work with you to navigate life’s obstacles, meet your challenges, and take steps towards being your most authentic self. "

"Are you going through a particularly difficult time? Perhaps you are struggling with feelings of anxiety or depression? Maybe you have experienced a loss of a relationship or are adjusting to significant changes in your life? Whether the difficulties are past or recent traumas, losses, conflicts in relationships with self or others, I help my clients move toward growth and change. I provide a warm, accepting environment to assist individuals in facing difficult challenges, finding strength and identifying more choices for themselves and their lives."

"I see the therapeutic journey as a process rather than a destination. As such, every experience--whether "good" or "bad" is useful for one's transformation. With this as our pole star, life can again become exciting and spontaneous and can overflow with vitality; one regains authorship of one's own life--true creativity. Therapy should aid in the lifting of depression so that one one can rejoin the flow of one's life. It should begin to infuse the smallest moments with meaning while equipping and empowering one with practical tools to carry on this work beyond the therapeutic hour."

In this way we can develop a collaborative process and work as a team together."

"Are you experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief? Sometimes life happens and we feel stuck. Unmanageable thoughts or feelings might take over and what used to feel okay begins to feel out of control. When everyday life seems like too much, if you feel overwhelmed, alone or isolated in your thoughts, seeking counseling is a courageous and kind step towards groundedness, relief, and ultimately healing."

"My practice is located in Madrona. I offer counseling for older adolescents, adults, and parents. You may be experiencing a major transition or loss, anxiety or depression, or recovering from a traumatic event. Your child may be struggling with challenging behaviors and you need help in how to respond.

"Whether your goal is to achieve greater self awareness, build stronger personal relationships, heal past wounds, or just feel better about yourself, a therapeutic relationship can help meet that goal. I would like to join you on your journey of self discovery as an advocate, partner and guide. My particular approach is help you discover your own natural resources by tapping into your subconscious to uncover blockages to healing and actualizing your fullest potential. This approach is especially useful with trauma related disorders, depression, anxiety, addiction and habits that are hard to break - such as smoking and over-eating."

"My healing begins from a place of connection and an appreciation of your potential and the power we have to impact each other. I will support you in your search for greater meaning, emotional awareness and empowerment in a world that can be stressful and isolating. We will begin a thoughtful exploration of how your past experiences and relationships impact you presently. Together we will uncover and co-create new meanings out of your experiences, these new understandings can give you the power to relate differently to yourself and others. "
