My practice in Lynnwood is called Emerge and Thrive Counseling. As a Washington State Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist since 1995, I see individuals, couples, and families of all ages. As an elementary teacher for almost forty years, I have extensive knowledge of child development and school issues. I offer support in communication and parenting issues. I use sandplay, art therapy, dreamwork, and depth psychology. My use of traditional psychotherapies include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, and Interpersonal Therapy. My office contains a play room with a substantial amount of sandplay figures and a sitting room for adults, adolescents, and families.
