Research shows that the single biggest predictor of success in therapy is the relationship between you and your therapist. Because finding the right fit is so important, I offer a free video consultation call so we can connect, chat about what you're looking for, and see if we may be a good fit. If we decide we aren’t the best match, I will gladly refer you to a trusted colleague who is better equipped to help you reach your goals.

I see clients in-person in Ballard, Seattle on Fridays, as well as online throughout the week for residents anywhere in Washington State

I believe that therapy is most effective in a consistent relationship. To ensure you get the most out of our work, I request that new clients commit to weekly sessions initially. This allows us to build a supportive connection and make steady progress. If requested, we can transition to a bi-weekly (every other week) schedule when appropriate.

How long we work together depends entirely on your unique goals and needs. Many clients begin to feel a significant shift within 10 to 20 weekly sessions. Some people choose to graduate therapy once their initial goals are met, while others find value in the ongoing process and choose to keep going. Ultimately, you are always in the driver’s seat regarding the length and frequency of your care.

I primarily draw from Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT). EFIT is an internationally recognized, evidence-based approach based in attachment science, which is the study of how humans need safe, secure connections to thrive.

Unlike approaches that solely focus on changing thoughts or behaviors, EFIT goes beyond the surface by focusing on the deep-seated feelings that anchor your symptoms and pain. EFIT helps people to understand their patterns, increase their window of tolerance, and improve their sense of security within themselves and in-turn with others in their life.
