Healing starts here.

I help clients create lasting change.

My approach

As a marriage and family therapist serving clients in Seattle and throughout Washington State, I believe that everything makes sense in context — including the challenges or problems that bring us to therapy. My approach is radical: we will explore the roots of the difficulties bringing you to therapy, along with the factors that contribute to it. This process expands your awareness, understanding, and compassion — which leads to healing.

That is what creates lasting change.

I specialize in helping premarital couples intentionally create the relationship that works for them, longtime couples find their way back to each other, couples navigating blended family challenges, adult children and parents breaking old patterns and adapting their relationship to meet new stages of life, and adults navigating estrangement discernment with important relationships — whether family or friends.

A comfortable place for holding space

Accessible in-person therapy is available at my office in Ballard. Street parking is unrestricted.

 

In-person and remote options

Nestled between Phinney Ridge/Greenwood, and Historic Ballard, I see clients in-person in the Whittier Heights area of Ballard. I also conduct in-person walk-and-talk sessions around Greenlake when weather permits.

Can’t make in-person? I work with clients from all over Washington state via telehealth.
