Psychotherapy in Seattle

If you are considering making significant changes in your life and relationships, if you are looking for adult individual therapy or couples counseling, or if you are looking for a therapist for your adolescent in the Seattle area, I can help. Working together in a safe and supportive environment, I can help you achieve a new level of health and strength that will allow you to work, to love, and to feel some honest joy and pride.

Because you are unique, our work will focus on your particular needs. While I will always tailor the work to achieve your goals, I have found psychoanalytic therapy particularly useful in the following areas:

Psychotherapy is a personal journey that requires great courage. While I've made every effort to describe my background and approach to therapy on this website, you may still have questions about the intangible human element, and feel rightly that it makes a tremendous difference about how productively we will be able to work together. I invite you to call me any time at (206) 940-6732 to get acquainted and talk about the goals you'd like to bring to therapy. That being said, there just is no substitute for sitting down face-to-face and seeing if the chemistry is right. I encourage you to consider a 3-5 session trial and then deciding about long-term work.
