Wellness Counseling

Training: I hold a Masters of Psychology degree from LIOS Graduate College of Saybrook University. I have been in private practice on Bainbridge Island since January of 2013. Prior to private practice, I completed an internship at Seattle Therapy Alliance, a woman-centered practice. In 2018 became a fully licensed marriage and family therapist in Washington State. I bring to my practice my extensive experience as an educator at the graduate, university and high school levels and as an academic researcher and writer to my counseling practice.

Therapeutic Orientation: I believe that you hold expertise regarding your experiences, feelings, thoughts and relationships. My role is to facilitate your access to that expertise. When working with families, my job is to help families increase healthy patterns of relationship while reducing distress and suffering. My strengths lie in two areas. I am able to identify the existing resources that bring family members together, and I am able to discover alongside families new resources and to cultivate the ones that need growth. My work is primarily oriented towards narrative therapy and the general principles of family systems. I am also an EMDR therapist, treating trauma in a variety of client demographics. I am a member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (AAMFT) and abide by its Code of Ethics. Accordingly, I do not perform forensic evaluations for custody, residence, or visitation of minors who engage in therapy with me.
