Accepting new clients
Be Honest. Be Patient. Be Brave.
Let me help you become happier and healthier. Licensed marriage and family therapy in Edmonds and online.
Providing you with an experience of productive self-reflection.
My goal is to help you increase self-awareness, practice self-acceptance, and cultivate self-discipline.
Self-investment takes time, money and energy, but it doesn’t have to last forever. Most clients learn specific, usable skills in the first few months. The rest of treatment is for support and accountability, then a kind of graduation. My door stays open if you need support through a new transition later on: not forever, but when it’s needed.
