Individual and Couples Counseling

I help people that are feeling anxious and depressed, feel less anxious and depressed. I help couples that are feeling alone or in conflict, find a way to build a better relationship.

I offer individual counseling via telehealth for residents across Washington state. I offer couples counseling in person in Gig Harbor, using the Gottman method, because it focuses on practicing new skills that work for long term successful relationships. Whether pre-marital, in a long term relationship, newly married, or decades into a marriage, I work with couples on the brink of divorce and those that simply want to grow closer and stronger as a couple. I also offer “intensives” which are 4 hour sessions where we deep dive into relationships skills, for those that prefer that format.

I am someone that challenges myself daily to see things from new perspectives and be fully present and aware to more fully understand my clients, my own family and myself. I believe kindness and compassionate inquiry are a path to healing wounds. I have experience with Gottman marital therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, and stress management.

I have a background working with teenagers and adults in various community clinics, as well as at a university counseling center and in my private practice since 2015. I am always excited to begin working with someone new. Sometimes the work together is brief to begin some change; and sometimes the work is over months and years. Counseling can be uncomfortable at times, but I know the commitment to counseling and working together collaboratively can help you feel better.
