About Dennis

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist & Supervisor
My mission is to cultivate relationships that heal both in my personal and professional life. At Infinity Family Therapy I assist couples and families creating secure and connected, passionate and safe relationships.
After 10 years as a therapist my wife and I found our marriage stuck in a painful place. Our counselor introduced us to Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT). Not only did it start our marriage on a path to healing and wholeness, it also radically changed my own practice of couples counseling. As I began to learn the EFCT model I began to see couples step out of the destructive conflicts more quickly. Then they began to engage in more satisfying connections with each other. I got so excited that I traveled to Canada to start my formal EFT training with Sue Johnson, the primary developer of EFT. More recently I have been learning to apply the principles of EFT to working with families and individuals.
I approach couples and families with curiosity and acceptance. I focus not on figuring out who is to blame and what or who needs to be changed, but on understanding the patterns of stuck back and forth interactions. Then we walk through a research-proven process of stepping out of the conflict and disconnection and creating accessible, responsive, and engaged bonds between partners and family members.
My wife and I have been married for over 30 years and have two teenage kids. We moved from Alaska (where we have lived most of our lives) back to Seattle to join the team at Navigate Family Therapy in May 2021.

About Kim

Marriage & Family Therapist Associate
I was so transformed by Dennis and I’s EFT journey that I decided to go back to school and earn my master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. My passion is to help parents and teens create open, safe relationships where parents are Accessible, Responsive, and Engaged, and to help couples experience relationship transformation like Dennis and I discovered though EFT. I also believe that individuals can greatly benefit from therapy through an EFT lens.
I took a break from practicing as a therapist to help our kids get settled after moving to Washington. I relaunched my therapy practice in January 2023. I co-facilitate Hold Me Tight Couples Workshops and Created for Relationship workshops and courses with Dennis and other leaders, currently and over the past eight years. More recently I have helped facilitate Hold Me Tight – Let Me Go workshops for teens and their parents with Dennis. We also co-led MarriageWorks groups together from 2002-2013.
I was born in southern California but have lived most of my life in Alaska. I currently live in the Puget Sound area with Dennis and our two adult children. To request an appointment or consultation, call Navigate Family Therapy or use the get therapy form here.
