About Me

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 very interested in the ways in which we each determine our realities, what our minds say to us, and the insight that can be gained from examining those.


I grew up part-time in England and part-time in Connecticut, where I graduated from Wesleyan University in 1987.  After college I worked for Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) for several years, until attending graduate school in 1996.  I received a Master of Social Work from the University Of Washington School Of Social Work in 1998, and worked as a school based psychotherapist and director of a public alternative high school for a number of years after that.  I am currently in full-time private practice in the Madison Valley area of Seattle.  I am a licensed independent clinical social worker (#8705) in the State of Washington.

In addition to my psychotherapy practice I am an adjunct professor at the University of Washington School of Social Work where I supervise graduate level psychotherapy interns.  I balance my professional life with lots of outdoor activities, a mindfulness practice, reading, playing the guitar, and spending time with friends and my family.
