My experience and knowledge in family therapy is helpful for people who are seeking to improve the quality of their relationships, and who wish to make changes with certain thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I have experience with many different ethnic, cultural, and religious backgrounds.

Whether you may be experiencing a life changing event or just desire some fine tuning in your life, we can work together to find success in your goals. My work incorporates helpful ways of communicating safely, and the philosophy of viewing problems as experiences that we deal with - not something that we identify ourselves by. We can choose to be defined by more than just our problems. Problems are merely experiences that we can use to learn, grow, and change to better ourselves and our relationships.

Health and well-being include emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects. Our work together looks at all of these areas, and I use a network of resources to provide you with the best possible care. With my health and fitness background, I have a special interest in coming alongside people who are struggling with making the lifestyle changes they desire to improve their overall health. Much of my work is with families experiencing separation, divorce, and remarriage. I facilitate different therapy groups on Bainbridge Island with other health care professionals. These groups focus on holistic health and include yoga/therapy groups and intuitive eating groups. I am hopeful that I can come alongside you and your family members to create the changes in your lives that you desire.
