ABOUT ME: I believe that change is possible, and that in order to change, we need to experience something new and develop new capacities. I'm here to offer that to you. Together we will build a working relationship that allows you to accumulate new experiences. I am not just looking to get rid of your difficult feelings and behaviors so that you can get by. I am interested in helping you grow, from the inside out, so that you will solidly own the change you desire and truly thrive.

CREDENTIALS: I completed my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the School of Psychology at Fuller Theological Seminary in 1999. I've been a licensed psychologist in Washington state since 2003. My clinical training covered many settings and specialities, and I am skilled in treating children and adolescents using both talk, art, and play therapy. I’ve pursued specialized training in working with Christian clients. I am an experienced parenting instructor. Because I value my work as a psychologist, I regularly engage in ongoing training, supervision, and consultation to expand and deepen my capacity for this work.
