I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State and have almost 40 years of experience providing psychotherapy services to adult individuals (age 20+) and couples. Words that characterize my approach are warmth, empathy and curiosity. Since what is “normal” is to encounter challenges in life, not perfection, I will support you toward greater acceptance and openness in the process of resolving the concerns you face. In my individual work, my emphasis is on the inner dialogue of body and mind, emotion and thought. Through this frame, I will help you to explore your concerns and your strengths, change behaviors that contribute to your distress, develop new skills, and a more compassionate, accepting relationship with yourself. Through that same frame in my work with relationship partners, I will also help you explore beneath the surface of your complaints and struggles with one another to reconnect with the emotional bond between you. I will offer help with learning skills to communicate your needs and wishes, resolve conflict and pain, and reestablish a relationship anchored in love, mutual understanding, support, and trust.
