Biographical Information
Upon receiving her teaching certificate, Carole' had the unique opportunity of returning to her hometown in Alaska, where she taught for eight years in several of her childhood schools. She then had the privilege of being a stay-at-home Mom for her two children, Joelle and James, for twelve years. When Carole's husband, Brad, retired from twenty years of teaching, the family relocated to the Puget Sound area. This move provided Carole' an opportunity to return to school and realize the dream of becoming a marriage and family therapist. Carole' considers it an incredible privilege to share in people's journeys toward psychological, emotional, physical and spiritual healing.

Tasks between sessions are often assigned to encourage integration of new skills in everyday experiences.
