Welcome...

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Seattle, Washington, working with clients who are motivated to improve important relationships in their lives, including the relationship with self. A family systems perspective is at the core of my approach: we are all unique individuals who are heavily influenced by the relationships in our lives. I am also a Certified Brainspotting Therapist and have specialized training in treating developmental trauma with this modality. Brainspotting may succeed in cases where talk therapy has not produced desired results. If you are experiencing emotional traumas or "stuck places," Brainspotting is often highly effective for achieving resolution. I offer weekend Brainspotting intensives for clients interested in rapid progress.

​

In my practice, therapy is individualized, collaborative, and client-centered. I believe that compassionate exploration and inquiry create the foundation for change. I take my role as therapist seriously. I have done my own emotional work and truly enjoy walking with others on this human journey. You are a unique individual, and I will strive to know you as a person, including aspects of your identity that affect your experiences in society: gender identity, race, national origin, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, or other parts of yourself that affect your everyday experiences.

​

Successful therapy begins with a trusting therapist-client relationship. I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation for you to ask questions and discuss your needs for therapy. Please contact me to schedule your time. I look forward to hearing from you to explore how we can work together to improve your life and relationships.
