ABOUT COREE

Being a therapist is a great honor as I join individuals and families as they journey toward a happier and more harmonious life.  Supporting individuals and families as they work to overcome obstacles in connecting to themselves and one another makes every day fulfilling.  

​

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the state of Washington (LF60664790).  I have a Master's of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Seattle Pacific University, Seattle, Washington and a  Bachelor's in Science in Psychology from North Dakota State University.  I am certified by the state of Washington as a Child Mental Health Specialist and a Mental Health Professional as well as a member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy.  While working in the Child Advocacy Program through Compass Health, I received advanced training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy while working exclusively with children who had disclosed sexual abuse. 

​

My particular area of expertise is in working with women who are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, relational issues, perinatal mental health, and phase of life transitions and teenagers to improve symptoms of depression, anxiety, inattention, boundary setting within the family, trauma, and self-esteem.

 Using a systemic approach in the treatment of individuals and families means we would explore your concerns in terms of your relationship with yourself, with others and within your social environment.  I utilize a systemic approach in treatment of families and individual, meaning I explore the identified concerns in terms of relationships, including your relationship to yourself, and social environment.  I work collaboratively with my clients to construct a new narrative of the problem as a guide toward action and change utilizing Play Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Narrative Therapy.
