OUR FOUNDERS

About our practice

More than a decade ago, Jennifer and Jason met for coffee and realized they were both experiencing similar challenges in private practice. That conversation became the seed of Northwest Relationships, a space in the South Sound where people could access affordable, high-quality therapy for all types of relationships.
