I help people have profound and meaningful relationships. I am a therapist in private practice in Remond, specializing in couples. My ideal clients are couples who have developed negative ways of interacting and become stuck. We work together to get the couple unstuck and each partner reconnected with the other.

I use a therapy model that is heavily researched called Emotionally Focused Therapy. It has very positive outcomes during therapy and couples continue to improve after therapy has ended.

I also work with premarital couples, step or blended families, and individuals primarily seeking relationship help.

I am best at helping couples reconnect with their partner and feel safe, secure and at ease in the world.

To meet other professionals who work with couples. I'd like to cross refer clients, to collaborate on projects or just spin the creative wheel together.

Previous employment: Ryther Child Center, Institute for Family Development, United Way of King County.
