What does support look like for you today? Naming the stress, the difficulty, the imbalance, the pain, the frustration-that's how I like to begin our conversation. Enter the safe and private space in our therapy together, and we will find the courage to feel, hold, and explore the problems. We might even chop, stir, provoke, and push the problem and find what is beneath it, and certainly finish our session knowing what you want to work on in our next meeting.
Graduate education, clinical experience, collegial projects and research, and most importantly, my clients of 30 years have brought me to the expertise and capacity to support you. After a career in educational case management, my path led to a Masters in psychotherapy and a group practice in Seattle, while supporting residential programs throughout Utah.
Don't hesitate-you can reach out for that 10-15 minute conversation that allows you to feel ready to begin. Mental health is an action in the therapy hour, and I encourage you to share the top 3 things that need attention in your life-and we go from there. Overwhelming, sad, angry, shame or frustration, let's look at what you are carrying.

Individuals, couples, families, teens and young adults can work with me. We identify, plan, work, review, practice, repeat, and measure change and satisfaction with therapy. I work with the messy and disorganized, and can collaborate with perfectionists as well.

I often begin with an understanding of Family Systems, the roles and patterns you inhabit, who is in your life, your connections and your blockages. Then we walk into the scenes and explore where the discomfort and pain lives, and begin to work. We use many tools, not just one theory or practice, and often you can do assignments in between if you have the time.
