Theoretical Orientation
I work collaboratively and respectfully with couples, helping them to reprocess their interactions, and to develop powerful internal resources. Together we will help you cultivate a loving, respectful, and mutually supportive relationship.
My work as a couple and family therapist is influenced by the research of John Gottman, Susan Johnson's Emotionally Focused Family Therapy, Attachment Theory, Dan Wile's Non Traditional Approach, Mindfullness, Maitri, Family Systems Therapies, and The Resnick's Approach to couples therapy.
About Me
I was born and raised in Seattle; I love living here. I received my undergraduate degree from The Evergreen State College with a study emphasis in Cultural Anthropology. I have always enjoyed learning about other cultures and have been priviledged to have traveled to 52 countries.
I went on to receive my masters degree in Psychology from Antioch University, Seattle. It was during my internship at Ruth Dykeman Youth & Family Services when I discovered my interest in working with couples and families.
I then dedicated my practice to serving couples. I am committed to ongoing education and research into the art and science of relationship counseling.
In addition to psychotherapy my hobbies include: Skiing, hiking, basketball, scuba diving, guitar, percussion, and traveling.
