I am a therapist with 14 years experience in private practice, school, and agency settings. I work with adults and adolescents in the areas of depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief and loss, relationship, family, work and school problems, stress reduction, personal growth, and a variety of other concerns. Please contact me by phone or e-mail if you have any questions about me or my practice.

My theoretical approach to psychotherapy is based in cognitive/behavior theory and extends into existential/phenomenological, solution focused, narrative, mindfulness, acceptance/commitment, and psychodynamic theories. I use a variety of techniques ranging from cognitive reframing, exploration of defense mechanisms and automatic thoughts, training in mindfulness, coaching, bodily awareness, and exploration of thoughts, feelings and beliefs.
I am a preferred provider with Regence, Premera, Kaiser, Aetna and First Choice Health Network. Many other insurance companies will reimburse a portion of my fee. Every plan is different, so I urge you to call your insurance company ahead of time to determine what your specific mental health benefits are.
