I have been a marriage, family, individual and EAP therapist for over 35 years. Born and raised in Germany, I received MFT training in Canada and the US, and have been practicing in Spokane, WA, for over 20 years. In addition to marriage/relationship issues, I frequently work with clients presenting with depression, anxiety, and ADHD (adults and children). My approach to couples treatment is informed by the theories of John & Julie Gottman, although I do not necessarily adhere to any one particular theoretical orientation. I attempt to apply my knowledge of many different theories, as well as the latest in clinical and medical research, to meet my clients' needs by offering practical and immediately usable tools, skills and strategies.
