“I am a clinical psychologist with 20 years experience providing psychotherapy and consultation. My approach is gentle, respectful and compassionate, including challenge and encouragement as appropriate. I offer short-term and long-term psychotherapy, emphasizing the development of a warm, affirming therapeutic relationship. My treatment approach is integrative and most influenced by psychodynamic, developmental and humanistic theories. I assist my clients to develop greater self-understanding and use a wide variety of techniques to help them meet their goals. My personal style is down-to-earth and interactive, with an occasional dash of humor

I help people with a wide range of personal and emotional concerns that impact personal and occupational functioning, relationships and overall life satisfaction. This includes depression, anxiety, grief and loss, cultural adjustment, traumatic experiences, relationship problems, body image and eating concerns, life transitions, identity issues, and others.

I provide affirmative psychotherapy that values diversity and respects the individual, including gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals and couples. Located in Seattle's Madison Valley, my office is near Capitol Hill, downtown and central Seattle, with easy access to public transportation, I-5 and 520. My services are covered as an out-of-network provider with many insurance plans.
