About
Therapy can be a dynamic experience creating hope and energy. Facing challenges and grieving losses we inevitably face is a powerful step in moving toward a more satisfying present. I view therapy as a collaboration with you to create your transformation and growth. Our past experiences shape our view of ourselves and in turn our potential in the future. I hope to assist you to "re-author" the stories you have about yourself not serving a positive purpose and replace them with new stories, skills and a vision that do.
I enjoy working with individuals, families and couples going through life transitions. My main approaches include cognitive-behavioral therapy; extinguishing the negative, psychodynamic; how past can create your present, guided imagery; relaxation techniques and narrative therapy; understanding our stories and how they shape us.
Work experience includes community mental health, substance abuse prevention and recovery, employee assistance programs, child welfare and adoption services including adult adoptees search and reunion issues. I completed my masters at the University of Washington and a clinical fellowship at the Menninger School of Psychiatry and Mental Health Sciences.
