Do you have relationships that concern you or are just not as fulfilling as you'd like? Are you feeling stuck, like nothing you've tried so far is making a difference? I can help. I have experience helping people recover from trauma, navigate challenging and complicated life transitions, and practice better communication in relationships. If you are ready for a change, I'm ready and want to help you get started! Your stories and the important people in your life help in understanding how you became stuck and how you can become 'unstuck'. You get to decide what issues we work on. I will work with you to find a style of therapy that fits. I enjoy working with clients of all ages, especially older teens, as well as adults, families, couples, veterans, trauma survivors, birth parents and adoptees. If meeting you in your own home is more comfortable, I can make house calls! Play, art, music, drama, and other activities may be incorporated to encourage thinking outside the box. Evening and Saturday appointments available. I earned my Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pacific Lutheran University, and hold an Associate License in Washington State. I have a systemic approach, using several models in therapy, including Strategic, Structural, Experiential, Emotionally Focused, Solution Focused and Narrative Therapy.
