Therapists » Marriage & Family Therapist
As an LMFT serving Bainbridge Island, I utilize a humanistic, evidence-based, emotionally focused perspective with children, youth, and adults with concerns including anxiety, depression, attachment, trauma, self-harm, identity, and gender questioning issues. I find Lifespan Integration and Somatic Transformation helpful in resolving trauma. I treat couples and families working through conflict, life transitions, divorce, grief, and loss. Additionally, I am an AAMFT Approved Supervisor and a Washington State Supervisor offering supervision to associates. I am an Emotionally Focused couples therapist. I utilize emotionally-focused techniques for understanding, feeling, and communicating that create the connectedness that is essential in long-term relationships. As a partner for 25+ years with two children, I draw upon these life experiences in helping couples and families work through difficult times. Play is the language of children. In my therapeutic playroom, I help children with trauma, academic underachievement, social-emotional, and behavioral problems. Understanding children and adolescents in the context of the family is helpful in solving challenges and helping families move to a more communicative and connected place.
