Family Therapy in South Lake Union, Seattle, WA

Welcome! I believe that curiosity and exploration are vital to understanding oneself and the world we inhabit. Within my practice, I provide a warm and nurturing environment for you to openly explore your concerns, experiences, goals, and the complexities of human connections. With genuine empathy, active listening, and thought-provoking questions, my commitment is to support you in deepening your self-awareness and finding meaningful solutions to the challenges you may face. Therapy doesn't always have to be serious. As such, I embrace and appropriately incorporate humor into our sessions, offering moments of levity and lightness.

Family Business is in a league of its own. I help family businesses navigate change (or stagnation) by fostering clear decision-making, and helping clients separate family dynamics from business operations. As a former therapist, I noticed that when my family therapy clients had a family business, therapy would only get them so far... At some point, they had to address the nuts and bolts of operations: "I know I hate this position, but the business would fail if I stopped. But things have GOT to change." Sound familiar? Creating new relationship dynamics and habits means changing how you work together, at home AND the office.
