I use traditional "talk therapy" to meet you where you are while applying the techniques of mindfulness based stress reduction, cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal neurobiology and other approaches to help you uncover your authentic self and ultimately reach your optimum potential. I believe that no one understands your experience as well as you do. I also believe real growth and positive change are most possible when a person feels safe and supported. For that reason, I strive to create an honest, sincere, non-judgmental and personable environment for the purposes of counseling and therapy. Autism and Asperger's are my specialties. I have over 15 years of clinical experience working with Children, Teens and Adults with ASD. I also provide counseling and support for parents and family members who are caring for a loved one with ASD and conduct workshops on academic skill development. I offer Social Awareness and Confidence Group for Children, Teens and Adults. Groups are intentionally small (no more than 3 in a group) and carefully selected to ensure a good fit for all. Rates for groups are much lower than individual therapy.

Family transitions, loss and grief and personal journeys are all deeply intertwined. Each time there is a shift or change in the family, it deeply affects every member. Each individual has their own reaction and perceptions of the event, has their own grieving to do and will be changed in ways we often cannot predict. When you are experiencing transitions and changes in your life, which includes the death of a relationship or a person, it alters the course of your own personal journey through this world. I focus my practice on helping you learn to navigate these changes, explore the emotions that are connected to them for you, dig into old stories that may affect your perceptions, and support and guide you to being the brilliant and unique person you were born to be. My work centers around three basic concepts: 1. Every person is doing the best they can in any situation with the tools they believe are available to them; 2. The client is the ultimate expert on themselves; and 3. In community people find support and are exposed to different ideas and ways of being in the world and with each other. To support these ideas, I use an eclectic combination of modalities including humanistic, feminist, narrative, biopsychosocial, object relations (attachment) and mindfulness approaches. My style is strength-based, collaborative and interactive. I find that these techniques combined with a strong therapeutic relationship can be a recipe for success. I can work with you to better understand yourself and how you work. I believe that change can only occur if the client is dedicated to doing the necessary work; I am only a guide. I support the belief that all people should be able to benefit themselves through the therapeutic process. For this reason, I offer a sliding scale of fee to a limited number of clients. Unfortunately, I cannot take insurance, however can offer a receipt for you to submit to your insurance for reimbursement if you like. Finding the right counselor is an important part of the process. That is why our first thirty minute meeting is always complimentary. This meeting allows us to get to know each other, ask questions, and determine whether or not this is the right fit for you. In addition to in-person counseling, I offer online workshops as well as parent and life coaching via Skype. I also offer in-person workshops and support groups. To explore if my work could benefit you, your relationship or your family, I offer a free 30-minute in-person consultation. During this time we can briefly discuss what is motivating you to come into therapy, what you hope to gain by it, how I work and the philosophies that guide me in my practice and in working with others. To schedule, please call or email me I will return your call or email within 48-hours.

My intent in a counseling session is to show up as my whole self, and make space for you to show up as your whole self. I believe that people have an innate ability to heal, and I know that the keys to balance and well being exist inside of you. My work as a therapist is to use the tools and skills that I have learned and those that are inherent in me, to unblock the barriers on your path to health and wholeness. It is my hope, that I may aid you in calling home the lost and wounded parts of yourself and integrate that back into the complete and amazing you. I maintain a commitment to anti-oppression in my practice and my personal life. I hold in my awareness the realities of privilege and oppression and work continuously to seek new information in service of liberation. I abide by the code of ethics of both the State of Washington and the American Counseling Association.
