Behavioral & Interpersonal Therapy
Identify the patterns that show up under stress and build the skills to live and love in line with your values.
Executive & Leadership Coaching
Identify the patterns that show up under threat and build the skills to consistently lead in line with your values.
Pressure widens the gap between what you value and what you do. Together, we build the skills that close it.
Who I work with
Therapy
Individual or relational work with people who:
- feel things deeply, and want more choice in how they respond
- know what matters to them, and want their days to reflect it
- have done a lot of thinking about their patterns, and want skills to go with it
- love their people fiercely, and want the hard moments at home to go differently
- are going through something hard, and want to stay steady
Coaching
One-to-one work with leaders and executives who:
- were promoted on their strengths, and now lead people they used to sit beside
- have something hard to say, and want to stay connected while they say it
- keep their word, and want that to survive a bad week
- know where they stand, and want to stay curious when certainty would be easier
- have told their team to speak up, and want to be the leader who makes that true
What you’ll do differently
You'll still feel the pull toward the fast reaction and the familiar pattern. And. You'll notice it sooner, stay present with discomfort, choose in line with your values, and repair when the moment doesn't go the way you intended.
How the work goes
All the work follows the same sequence, in the order that makes change possible.
Understand
What's actually happening. Structured assessment of where things stand and what you want to change.
Identify
What matters most. The values worth organizing behavior around – and the ones most at risk under pressure.
Name
What gets in the way. The protective patterns that show up under pressure – named without shame.

Before you reach out
What's the difference between therapy and coaching?
Therapy is treatment, provided under my Washington psychology license. Coaching builds leadership skill; it doesn't diagnose or treat mental health conditions, and it isn't a substitute for therapy. I'll be your therapist or your coach, not both.
Is this DBT?
My therapy draws on DBT, and I'm DBT-Linehan Board Certified. It isn't comprehensive DBT, which also includes a skills group and phone coaching between sessions. If you need comprehensive DBT, I'll help you find a program that offers it.
Where are you located?
Seattle, Washington. Therapy is telehealth only, for people located in Washington during sessions. Coaching is virtual and available anywhere in the country.
Do you take insurance?
I don't bill insurance. For therapy, I provide a superbill you can submit to your insurer for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Coaching isn't covered by insurance.
What does it cost?
Fees depend on the work. The first conversation is free, and we'll talk about fees in it.
If you're paying for therapy yourself, you have the right to a Good Faith Estimate of what it will cost. Learn more at cms.gov/nosurprises.
How soon will I hear back?
Within two business days.
