My Approach
I have more than thirty years experience as an individual and family therapist. I am dedicated to creating a collaborative atmosphere of openness, honesty, and compassion where people gain awareness about themselves, their emotions, and their relationships in order to meet their desired goals for positive and lasting change. I am comfortable and competent with a wide range of ethnic, religious, sexual/gender-identity, and socio-economic backgrounds and understand the need to approach each individual as unique while acknowledging the context from which they come. I approach my work with groundedness, warmth, humor, playfulness, and straight-forward reflection.
I believe the most productive therapeutic setting is one that is tailored specifically for each individual person’s needs and preferences. Some of the therapeutic styles from which I will draw upon are Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral, Developmental, Systems, Interpersonal Neurobiology, Lifespan Integration, and Mindfulness.
I am a Washington State Child Mental Health Specialist with particular specialty working with adolescents. I strive to create a safe, relaxed atmosphere with a playful approach with which to facilitate connection, change and healing.
