Most people come to therapy because something keeps happening that they can't seem to stop.

The same argument. The same distance. The same feeling of being unseen, or of saying the wrong thing, or of working so hard to keep everything steady that there's nothing left for yourself.

These aren't failures of effort or character. They're patterns — and patterns make sense when you understand where they came from.

How I work

I bring a lot of curiosity and some directness. I'm not a blank-screen therapist — I'll reflect what I'm noticing, ask questions that go a layer deeper, and stay close to what's happening in real time between us (or between you and your partner).

Everything I do is informed by attachment theory — the understanding that the ways we learned to connect, protect ourselves, and seek closeness early in life shape how we show up in relationships now. That framework isn't something I'll lecture you about. It's just how I see people, and it tends to make a lot of things make sense.

Sessions are in-person in my yurt office on Bainbridge Island, or via telehealth throughout Washington State.
