Online Counseling for Couples and Individuals Throughout Washington State

Connie expertly guided me on my journey to heal childhood trauma, successfully process a divorce and grow into a person I am proud of every day. Connie taught me how to navigate through my emotions and triggers which have made me a better father, partner and overall happier person.

Connie has been my counselor for over a decade.  Whether it was individual, couples, or grief counseling she consistently provided caring and professional support.

Peggy

Connie feels less like a therapist and more like a communication coach — though she's a wonderful therapist too. As good as you think your communication is, something magic happens when Connie facilitates deeper conversations, gently guiding you somewhere you couldn't get on your own. Our relationship is stronger for it, and we still see her for tune-ups. Highly recommend.

I came to Connie after my spouse blew up our marriage after 25 years together. My ex had already decided to move on and I was completely blindsided. My kids had just gone off to college, but they were still hurt, angry, and resentful. And me? I felt utterly lost and alone. My entire vision for how I thought my life would go forward was gone, and in many ways, I was starting from scratch as my 50th birthday approached. I was profoundly depressed, and what little energy I found in my daily life came from anger.

Connie helped me find my way back from that depression. At first, I just needed a safe place to talk, but it wasn’t long before she was giving me tools I could use and books I could read that gave me a sense of control and understanding of my life. She wasn’t my first therapist, but she distinguished herself by speaking directly in ways that previous therapists never would. Most often, she would lead with questions that helped me to reveal truth to myself, but I came to greatly appreciate the times when she would shine a spotlight on a problem that I was avoiding and call it out directly. Connie is masterful at plain talk, and unlike many friends I know, I never walked away from a session wondering how to apply my conversations in therapy towards my daily life.

I “graduated” from my regular sessions with Connie after about a year, but she has remained a valued counselor for me. I still schedule one-off appointments when life throws me a challenge significant enough that I worry about how to best take care of myself and those around me. I would recommend her strongly to anyone who wants a therapist who is grounded, practical, and pragmatic. Before our sessions, I was a bit of a skeptic about the real value of therapy. These days, I readily talk about the value I found working with her.

Connie helped us through one of the most difficult periods in our marriage. We had never been to therapy before and didn't know what to expect, but her straightforward yet kind approach immediately put us at ease. She helped us communicate more effectively, understand each other better, and ultimately find our way back to each other. Years later, we still use many of the tools and strategies she taught us to keep our relationship strong. We are incredibly grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her to anyone considering counseling.

CM & BM

Our time with Connie helped us learn to better communicate in more supportive and less reactive ways. We grew in areas that before visiting with Connie were blind spots that, once illuminated, helped us better navigate difficult conversations and learn how to repair when things inevitably go awry in any relationship. She met us where we needed to be met and shaped the conversations, incorporating our history and current status, seeking progress, not perfection.
