Thank you for visiting my site. As a licensed psychologist in Seattle, I work with individuals and couples, both in person and via telehealth. I also facilitate therapy groups.
I believe that therapy should, believe it or not, actually be enjoyed. It should feel good to discover and navigate the truth of one's life with someone equally engaged in that project, and to do it with a sense of safety and trust and genuine humor. I do work on a short-term basis with some folks, but my work tends to be long-term because my clients typically deeply enjoy and value being in our relationship.
Clients describe me as open and kind, yet quite engaged. I am not a passive listener; my therapy work takes the form of an active, two-way dialogue. While my style is warm, informal, and truly nonjudgmental, I believe it is often essential for our default positions to be questioned within a collaborative and clear context.
Few people enter a therapy or counseling relationship without concerns, trepidation, even confusion. The process is a leap of faith, and this leap begins with choosing a therapist to trust. In the hope that your decision can be as informed as possible, I've created this website as a very brief introduction to my counseling practice.
Of course, the best way to gather information about the work we may do and our potential fit is to contact me for a face-to-face meeting. I welcome you to do so.
