My approach to change involves listening to all the parts of you, starting with the part that wants something different and better, so that we can work together to address what gets in the way. I'm a firm believer in the power of the therapeutic relationship to transform my clients' experiences of themselves, their relationships, and their lives.

I work with adolescents and adults in individual, couples, and group sessions. My experience includes psychotherapy with families and relationships in crisis, outpatient behavioral health treatment, and social services program development.

EDUCATION

I have a BA from the Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA, and an MSSW from the University of Texas at Austin.

I believe that my growth and education as a person and as a therapist is vital to my ability to be helpful to my clients. My method is grounded in ongoing study of evidence-based theories for working with the entire family system, improving the stability and flexibility of romantic relationships, dealing with difficult and unwanted behaviors, and improving mood symptoms.
