Nice to meet you.

You can expect our time together to be conversational in nature. I often incorporate humor into our sessions and will sometimes use self-disclosure when I believe it will help to normalize experiences. Hey, we're all human, right?

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT-- License #LF 61062405) in the state of Washington, I have experience working with individuals, couples and families. I have completed Level 3 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, as well as the Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Externship. I hold a Medical Family Therapy Certificate and have experience working within a variety of medical settings. I especially enjoy working with couples and individuals who are experiencing the transition to parenthood. I believe that this particular life transition is among one of the most meaningful and trying experiences, and I find fulfillment in helping couples navigate through this time in their lives.
