About

I’m so glad you’ve found your way to my website to find more information about me and my work. I am a licensed therapist in the State of Washington and passionate about helping my clients and students through therapy, education, coaching and support programs. I have a Masters degree in counseling, psychology from North Texas State University. I am trained in and work with Imago Relationship Therapy developed by Harvelle Hendrix. Oprah Winfrey has said, he is her favorite couple’s therapist. I also use John Gottman’s research and the work of Michelle Weiner-Davis and Dr Pat Love.

During my career, I have worked in several settings, at the Swedish/Ballard Hospital in Seattle as a therapist in their eating disorder unit; taught eating disorders to masters level counseling students at Antioch University; Worked at a shelter for battered women and children; and at a mental health center in Denver working with children. I also worked in public schools as a therapist in a special education classroom.

I have learned through the years, everyone knows what they want and how they want to live; they just have beliefs and ideas that stop them. For some, learning to develop the ability to listen to their intuition and follow through, while not listening to what others tell them they should be or do is key to their transformation. When you can trust your intuitions, you are better able to contribute to the world.

This is where I can help! And you will get results! I love my work. I use what I’ve learned in my 30 years of experience and the latest research infused with much humor and a lot of practicality, to help people get what they want.

Remember this: You CAN create the life YOU want!
